When you eat a meal, your stomach and intestines break food into nutrients, those nutrients travel through your blood, your muscles use them for movement, and your brain controls and coordinates the entire process. What 4 systems are involved?
digestive, circulatory, muscular, and nervous systems
400
Which three systems are system responsible for getting rid of waste?
Excretory
Digestive
Respiratory
Integumentary
500
During exercise, your muscles use oxygen to make energy, your body takes in extra nutrients to recover, waste like carbon dioxide and lactic acid is removed, and you sweat to keep your body temperature balanced. What 4 STERNGRR processes are involved?
respiration, nutrition, excretion, and regulation
500
When you eat food, your body breaks it down, moves the nutrients through your blood, and removes the waste. What 3 body processes of STERNGRR are involved?
Nutrition, Excretion, Transport
