Body Systems Assignment

Which sequence best describes an interaction between the integumentary and excretory systems that helps maintain homeostasis?

• Heart rate increases → Blood vessels constrict → Blood pressure increases

• Blood vessel is damaged → Platelets begin to clump → Blood vessel ruptures

• Blood sugar levels rise → Pancreas secretes insulin → Blood sugar continues to rise

• Body temperature increases → Glands release sweat → Body temperature decreases

Which of the following are correct functions of the digestive system? Select TWO correct answers

• The digestive system absorbs nutrients the body can use for energy.

• The digestive system transports nutrients throughout the body.

• The digestive system filters blood and removes wastes from the body.

• The digestive system regulates body activities using hormones.

• The digestive system breaks down the foods we eat into smaller substances.

Which two systems help deliver oxygen to cells in the human body?

Select TWO correct answers.

• circulatory

• digestive

• excretory

• respiratory

• integumentary

These body systems work together to help someone who has an infection.

Select TWO correct answers.

• circulatory

• excretory

• immune

• digestive

• reproductive

In the process of deamination, the liver converts amino acids into compounds that can be used in energy metabolism. The liver removes the amino groups from amino acids to produce urea. Then, the urea is removed from the body as urine.

During this process, the liver works in conjunction with which body system? 

• Endocrine

• Excretory

• Nervous

• Respiratory

What is an example of the endocrine system directly interacting with the circulatory system?

• Goosebumps on the skin when the body senses cold temperatures

• The hormone adrenaline causes an increase in heart rate

• The brain sensing a decrease in oxygen levels due to a slow breathing rate

• Digested nutrients being transported to body cells

In alveoli, tiny air sacs in the lungs, oxygen is absorbed and then transported throughout the body.  The interaction in this example indicates the interdependence of which systems?

• Skeletal and Muscular

• Circulatory and Digestive

• Respiratory and Circulatory

• Muscular and Respiratory

Which systems work together to make the diaphragm move which increases the volume of the thoracic cavity during breathing?

• Muscular and respiratory

• Skeletal and endocrine

• Endocrine and respiratory

• Integumentary and muscular

Which two systems interact to produce and deliver energy to the cells of the body?

• Digestive and circulatory systems

• Circulatory and endocrine systems

• Integumentary and digestive systems

• Circulatory and nervous systems

Which of the following statements describes an interaction between the nervous and endocrine system?

• A loud noise causes adrenaline release into the blood

• Eyes squinting or dilating in response to light

• Less urine production to prevent dehydration

• Goosebumps produced in response to cold temperatures
