Body system interactions

How do the circulatory system and immune system work together to respond to an injury?

• Increased blood flow kills healthy cells which prevents infection at the site of the injury.

• Increased blood flow removes infected cells from the body at the site of the injury.

• Increased blood flow carries white blood cells to the site of the injury.

• Increased blood flow allows for an increase in the exchange of O₂ and CO₂ at the site of the injury.

Which two body systems must directly interact for vertebrate organisms to exchange gases?

• Skeletal system and muscular system

• Excretory system and reproductive system

• Circulatory system and respiratory system

• Digestive system and immune system

Kidneys are part of the excretory system in a human body. They purify the impure blood and send it back to the rest of the body. Which system is mainly responsible for the transport of plasma to the kidneys?

• Respiratory system

• Circulatory system

• Muscular system

• Nervous system

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

• Nervous and endocrine

• Muscular and skeletal

• Respiratory and circulatory

• Excretory and integumentary

Health-care workers are exposed to many different types of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms. Which body systems work together to protect the body from pathogens?

• Muscular and vascular

• Digestive and excretory

• Circulatory and immune

• Endocrine and reproductive

Which of the following correctly describes an interaction that occurs between two body systems of a rabbit that helps the rabbit outrun a pursuing coyote?

• The skeletal system releases additional calcium, and the circulatory system retains more sodium in the blood to provide muscles with ions for contraction.

• The digestive system increases the rate of digestion, and the excretory system ceases to provide tissues with more nutrients.

• The respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.

• The endocrine system releases hormones that prepare the immune system to deal with possible injuries.

The main purpose of the ____________ system is to break food particles into pieces that can be used.

• circulatory
• respiratory
• digestive
• skeletal

• heart
• larynx
• pharynx

Supports the body, is the site for muscle attachment, and forms blood cells; bones, joints, and cartilage make up this system.

• Integumentary System

• Skeletal System

• Muscular System

• Nervous System

Acts as a barrier, regulates temperature, and includes sensory receptors; skin is the major organ.

• Integumentary System

• Skeletal System

• Endocrine System

• Digestive System
