Body Systems Working Together

Front

What is the role of the digestive system in supporting the nervous system?

Back

Providing nutrients and energy for the brain and nervous tissue.

Front

How does the circulatory system support the muscular system during exercise?

Back

By delivering oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and removing waste products.

Front

Explain how the skeletal system supports the respiratory system in the process of breathing.

Back

The skeletal system provides support and protection for the respiratory system, allowing the rib cage to expand and contract during breathing.

Front

Describe the relationship between the nervous and skeletal systems in controlling body movements.

Back

The nervous system sends signals to the skeletal system to initiate and control body movements.

Front

How does the skeletal system support the muscular system in facilitating movement?

Back

The skeletal system provides the structure for the muscles to attach and leverage for movement.

Front

What is the main function of the nervous system?

Back

To send and receive signals throughout the body to control actions and reactions.

Front

What is the primary function of the muscular system?

Back

To facilitate movement of the body and maintain posture.

Front

How do the circulatory and respiratory systems work together?

Back

The circulatory system transports oxygen from the respiratory system to the body's cells and removes carbon dioxide.

Front

What is the function of the skeletal system?

Back

To provide structure, support, and protection for the body's organs.

Front

How do muscles and bones work together to create movement?

Back

Muscles contract and pull on bones, which act as levers to create movement.
