The diagram above represents an example of how the body regulates itself. This diagram describes what relationship in body systems?

• The circulatory system and nervous system interact to absorb nutrients.

• The circulatory system and digestive system interact to defend the body from diseases.

• The circulatory system and nervous system interact to maintain homeostasis.

• The nervous system and immune system interact for reproduction.

Which scenario below best describes the interaction between the endocrine and reproductive system.

• Hormones are produced causing ovulation in a female.

• Muscles are contracted, pushing food from the stomach into the small intestine.

• A male rabbit sees and chases a female rabbit.

• A bird lays her eggs, and protects them from possible predators.

What body function is identified in the process described below?

Respiratory System – mucus in the lungs traps an infectious bacteria cell

Immune System – T-cells attack the bacteria cell

Nervous System – triggers a cough to remove the mucus from the lungs along with the destroyed bacteria

• regulation of body temperature

• absorption of nutrients

• defense

• reproduction

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

• nervous system

• digestive system

• skeletal system

• respiratory system

The set of organs that uses information from the senses to control other body systems.

• circulatory system

• muscular system

• endocrine system

• nervous system

The set of ductless organs that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate life processes.

• endocrine system

• skeletal system

• digestive system

• circulatory system
