Body Systems: skeletal,muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory

Front

What is the main purpose of the muscular system?

Back

The main purpose of the muscular system is to help the body move.

Front

What is the primary function of the skeletal system?

Back

The primary function of the skeletal system is to provide protection to most of the major organs.

Front

What organ is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body?

Back

The heart is the hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body.

Front

What is the function of the respiratory system?

Back

The respiratory system helps take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.

Front

How do the muscular and skeletal systems work together?

Back

The muscular and skeletal systems work together to provide structure and movement to the body.

Front

What are the major components of the skeletal system?

Back

The major components of the skeletal system include bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints.

Front

What role do muscles play in the movement of the body?

Back

Muscles contract and relax to create movement by pulling on bones.

Front

What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary muscles?

Back

Voluntary muscles are controlled consciously (e.g., skeletal muscles), while involuntary muscles operate automatically (e.g., cardiac and smooth muscles).

Front

What is the function of red blood cells in the cardiovascular system?

Back

Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs.

Front

What is the significance of the diaphragm in the respiratory system?

Back

The diaphragm is a muscle that plays a crucial role in breathing by contracting to allow air to enter the lungs.
