human body systems interactions

The digestive and respiratory systems pair together to ...

• bring carbon dioxide and wastes to cells for diffusion.

• bring oxygen and wastes to cells for diffusion.

• bring oxygen and nutrients to cells for cellular respiration.

• bring carbon dioxide and nutrients to cells for cellular respiration.

The immune system fights diseases. The circulatory system pairs with the immune system because ___.

• blood is made in the bones.

• plasma carries nutrients.

• red blood cells carry oxygen.

• white blood cells fight infection.

Why are the lungs, the major organ of the respiratory system, also considered an excretory organ?

• They get rid of carbon dioxide, a cellular waste

• They get rid of oxygen, a cellular waste

• They get rid of urea, a cellular waste

All organ systems have this at its most basic unit.

• Cells

• Neurons

• Tissues

• Organs

• The digestive system takes in more glucose, while the excretory system removes waste.

• The endocrine system transports ATP to the nervous system

• Excretory system removes waste from the digestive system to reduce weight so the sprinter can run faster
