• the biceps muscle that helps us bend our arm

• the liver that produces chemical breakdown of the food

• the bones that surround and protect the heart and lungs

• the blood vessels that transport materials throughout the body

• The are organs of the muscular system

• They are two parts of two systems that each carry out movement

• They are parts of two systems that work together to create movement

Which statement is supported by evidence found on the table?

• Mechanical breakdown of food requires all the digestive system's organs

• Structures in the digestive system sometimes have more than one function

• The main function of the digestive system is to mechanically break down food.

Which evidence below supports the claim, "The body needs less oxygen at rest than when it is exercising."?

• During exercise, the heart rate and breathing rates decrease.

• After exercise stops, the heart and breathing rates return to normal

• Before exercise was started, the hear and breathing rates are the same in everyone.

• Immediately after exercise the heart and breathing rates are higher than at rest.

Which argument helps explain how the muscular, circulatory and respiratory systems work together?

• The muscular system needs less energy, so the activity of the circulatory and respiratory systems increases.

• The muscular system needs more oxygen, so activity of the circulatory and respiratory systems increase.

• The muscular system must move quickly, so the activity of the circulatory system increases.

• The muscular system needs more energy from the circulatory system, so the activity of the respiratory system decreases.
