Reproduction Body Systems Interactions

Reproduction Body Systems Interactions

Reproductive, Endocrine, Muscular, and Circulatory System Interactions

Reproductive System

The reproductive system is a system involved that allows for sexual reproduction to take place. The reproductive system includes the gonads which both male and females have.

Male gonads = Testes

Female gonads = Ovaries

The gonads create gamete(sex) cells.

Male gamete = Sperm cell

Female gamete = Ovum(egg) cell

Multiple Choice

Which of the following are the male gonads?

• Ovaries

• Testes

• Sternum

• Epidermis

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the female gonads?

• Ovaries

• Testes

• Sternum

• Epidermis

Multiple Choice

Which is the male gamete?

• Sperm

• Egg

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the female gamete?

• Sperm

• Egg

Endocrine System

The endocrine system is a system which includes many glands and organs that secrete(release) hormones(chemical messengers).

For example, the testes and ovaries both are responsible for releasing important sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.

Interaction with reproductive system:

The gonads which are apart of the reproductive system secrete sex hormones which is also apart of the endocrine system.

Multiple Choice

What do glands and organs in the endocrine system release(secrete)?

• Blood

• Enzymes

• DNA

• Hormones

Multiple Choice

The testes and ovaries are apart of the reproductive system and which other system?

• skeletal system

• nervous system

• endocrine system

• respiratory system

Muscular System

The muscular system is responsible for movement. Muscles pull on tendons which are attached to bones and allows for movement.

Interaction with reproductive system:

During child birth muscle contractions in the uterus push the baby through the birth canal.

Multiple Choice

What attaches muscles to bones?

• Tendons

• Ligaments

Circulatory System

The circulatory system is responsible for transporting blood, nutrients, and other important materials around the body.

Interaction with reproductive system:

The hormones secreted from the gonads are transported around the body through the circulatory system.

Multiple Choice

Which body system transports the hormones released from the gonads?

• circulatory system

• respiratory system

• muscular system

• integumentary system

Body System Interaction Questions

Multiple Choice

Which body system works with the endocrine system to distribute hormones?

• Nervous

• Circulatory

• Digestive

• Skeletal

Multiple Choice

Oxygen diffuses from the blood stream of an expectant mother into the placenta around the growing fetus. This demonstrates the effect of the circulatory system on which of the following systems?

• Reproductive

• Endocrine

• Excretory

• Muscular

Multiple Choice

In females, the ovaries serve a vital role as part of which of the two following systems?

• reproductive and muscular systems

• circulatory and endocrine systems

• endocrine and reproductive systems

• reproductive and lymphatic systems

Multiple Choice

Which of the following scenarios demonstrates a direct interaction between the muscular system and the reproductive system?

• Oxygen is absorbed at a faster rate by the mother during labor

• Contractions force a baby through the birth canal

• Hormones are released to cope with the birthing pains

• Heat released by muscles causes the body to sweat during labor
