7. What two human systems work together to provide body cells with a constant supply of oxygen while removing carbon dioxide waste products?

• Pluscular and skeletal

• Excretory and integumentary

During the final stages of human gestation, receptors for the hormone oxytocin increase on the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. The release of oxytocin during labor stimulates the smooth muscle tissue in the wall of the uterus. The vigorous contraction of the uterine smooth muscle helps push the baby through the birth canal so that delivery can occur. This process involves the interaction of which organ systems?

• Endocrine and muscular only

• Endocrine and reproductive only

• Endocrine, muscular, and reproductive

• Endocrine, reproductive, and excretory

Coracias garrulus is a blue bird with an orange-brown back. The offspring of this bird have an effective defense mechanism. The young birds vomit and cover themselves in a foul-smelling orange liquid when they sense a threat by predators. Which two systems alert the young bird to the

danger and help produce the vomit it uses as a defense?

• Nervous and digestive systems

• Integumentary and muscular systems

• Immune and respiratory systems

• Excretory and reproductive systems
