Circulatory
What is the main function or role of the circulatory system?
The main function of the circulatory system is to transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and blood throughout the body
What is the main function or role of the digestive system in maintaining overall health and survival?
The main function of the digestive system is to break up food and absorb nutrients from it.
What is the main function or role of the respiratory system?
The respiratory system’s main job is to bring oxygen into the body and take carbon dioxide out.
What is the main function or role of the excretory system in maintaining overall health and survival?
The excretory system’s main job is to remove waste and extra water from the body.
What is the main function or role of the reproductive system in maintaining overall health and survival?
The reproductive system’s job is to make babies and pass on traits from parents to children.
What are the major parts or organs of the circulatory system, and what specific functions does each one perform?
heart- pumps blood
Veins- carry blood to the heart
arteries- carry blood away from the heart
Capillaries- connect arteries and veins- where blood exchange occurs
blood- fluid that carries oxygen around the body
What are the major parts or organs of the digestive system, and what specific functions does each one perform?
Mouth – Mechanically and chemmically digests food
Esophagus – Moves food from the mouth to the stomach.
Stomach – Mixes food and uses chemicals to break it down further.
Small Intestine – Main site of nutrient absorption.
Large Intestine – Absorbs water and forms solid waste.
What are the major parts or organs of the respiratory system, and what specific functions does each one perform?
Nose/Mouth: Take in air.
Trachea: Air passage to the lungs.
Lungs: Where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves it
Bronchi: Branches that carry air into each lung.
Alveoli: Tiny air sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with blood.
What are the major parts or organs of the excretory system, and what specific functions does each one perform?
Kidneys – Clean the blood by filtering out waste and extra water.
Ureters – Carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Bladder – Stores urine until it's ready to leave the body.
Urethra – The tube that carries urine out of the body.
What are the major parts or organs of the reproductive system, and what specific functions does each one perform?
Male:
Testes – Make sperm and hormones
Urethra – Carries both urine and sperm out of the body.
Female:
Ovaries – Make eggs and hormones (like estrogen).
Uterus – Where a baby can grow.
How does the circulatory system function, and how does it interact or work together with other body systems?
Respiratory system: To pick up oxygen from the lungs and deliver carbon dioxide
Digestive system: To absorb nutrients from digested food and deliver them to cells.
Excretory system: To help remove waste products like urea via the kidneys.
Endocrine system: To carry hormones to specific organs.
reproductive- the circulatory system delivers hormones to help with reproduction
How does the digestive system function, and how does it interact or work together with other body systems?
Circulatory System:
It moves blood that carries oxygen, food, and waste, helping other systems work together.
Digestive System:
It breaks down food so that nutrients can enter the bloodstream and reach the body.
Respiratory System:
It takes in oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide, working with the blood to send oxygen to the body.
Excretory System:
It cleans the blood by taking out waste and extra water to keep the body healthy.
Reproductive System:
It makes babies and hormones, and the blood carries these hormones to the body.
How does the respiratory system work and team up with other systems?
Circulatory System:
It moves blood carrying oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste, working with many systems to keep the body healthy.
Digestive System:
It breaks down food and sends nutrients into the blood to feed the body.
Respiratory System:
It takes in oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide, working with blood to deliver oxygen to the body.
Excretory System:
It cleans the blood by removing waste and extra water to keep the body balanced.
Reproductive System:
It makes babies and hormones, and blood carries these hormones around the body.
How does the excretory system work and team up with other systems?
With the Circulatory System:
The excretory system filters waste and extra water from the blood, which the circulatory system delivers to the kidneys.
With the Digestive System:
It removes waste left over from food that the digestive system doesn’t use.
With the Respiratory System:
Both systems get rid of waste — the excretory system removes liquid waste, while the respiratory system removes carbon dioxide.
With the Reproductive System:
They share some body parts and the excretory system helps get rid of waste to keep the body clean.
How does the reproductive system work and team up with other systems?
With the Circulatory System:
The blood carries hormones that control growth and reproduction
With the Digestive System:
The digestive system gives the body nutrients it needs for making hormones.
With the Respiratory System:
The lungs give oxygen to the blood, which helps support the reproductive organs
With the Excretory System:
They share some parts, and the excretory system removes extra fluids and waste to keep the body healthy.
What processes does the circulatory system carry out to help the body maintain homeostasis?
it delivers oxygen, nutrients, blood, etc to parts of the body that are deprived of those things to maintain balance or homeostasis
What processes does the digestive system carry out to help the body maintain homeostasis?
Supplying nutrients and water to cells for energy and repair.
What processes does the respiratory system carry out to help the body maintain homeostasis?
The respiratory system keeps oxygen levels steady and removes carbon dioxide to keep the body’s balance, or homeostasis.
What processes does the excretory system carry out to help the body maintain homeostasis?
It keeps the body balanced by removing waste and controlling water levels
What processes does the reproductive system carry out to help the body maintain homeostasis?
It helps the body stay balanced by creating new life and by working with other systems
