Body Systems Working Together

Front

What is the role of the nervous system in movement?

Back

The nervous system sends signals to the muscles to initiate movement.

Front

How do the muscular and skeletal systems work together?

Back

The skeletal system provides the framework for the body, while the muscular system allows movement by contracting and relaxing muscles attached to the bones.

Front

What is the function of the respiratory system?

Back

The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air and transfers it to the blood.

Front

How does the circulatory system support the muscular system?

Back

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

Front

What happens to oxygen during exercise?

Back

The respiratory system increases oxygen intake, while the muscular system uses the oxygen for energy production.

Front

What is the relationship between the respiratory and circulatory systems?

Back

The respiratory system provides oxygen to the blood, and the circulatory system transports oxygen-rich blood to the body's tissues.

Front

What do muscles do during movement?

Back

Muscles contract and relax to create movement.

Front

How does the body remove carbon dioxide during exercise?

Back

The respiratory system increases carbon dioxide output as muscles produce it during energy production.

Front

What is the main function of the circulatory system?

Back

To transport oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body.

Front

How do the nervous and muscular systems interact?

Back

The nervous system controls muscle movement by sending signals to the muscles.
