Which explanation is the best to support the claim that the systems of the body interact with each other to carry out life processes?

• A. The brain and spinal cord make up the nervous system. The nervous system is made of many nerves that transport messages to and from the brain giving the body directions.

• B. The kidneys are a part of the excretory system and if they do not function properly, eventually the cardiovascular and nervous system will malfunction also.

• C. The skeletal system provides the framework for an organism. It is made of the bones and joints in the body protecting it and providing support.

• D. The muscular system allows an organism to maintain homeostasis by allowing it to move.

When humans are in a hot environment, they often sweat, an involuntary response that helps to cool the body. Which argument describes how the integumentary system works with other organ systems to respond to stimuli?

• A. The nervous system allows humans to detect changes in their environment, controlling when sweat glands produce sweat.

• B. The digestive system allows humans to detect changes in their environment, controlling when sweat glands produce sweat.

• C. The respiratory system allows humans to detect changes in their environment, controlling when sweat glands produce sweat.

• D. The cardiovascular system allows humans to detect changes in their environment, controlling when sweat glands produce sweat.

Emma and Liam are preparing a presentation to illustrate the interaction between the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. Which activity would best demonstrate their point that these two systems work together to maintain vital body functions?

• A. Measure how fast Emma can solve a math problem.

• B. Measure how fast Emma can identify different sounds.

• C. Measure Emma's breathing rate before and after drinking a glass of water.

• D. Measure Emma's breathing rate while resting, then measure Emma's breathing rate after running on the spot for a minute.

Which statement illustrates the interaction between the circulatory system and the digestive system during digestion?

• A. The circulatory system provides oxygen to the digestive system for the breakdown of food.

• B. The circulatory system sends signals to the digestive system to stimulate involuntary movement.

• C. The circulatory system absorbs nutrients from the digestive system to distribute to the rest of the body.

• D. The circulatory system removes waste from the digestive system.

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body. Which argument BEST describes the organ system that works with the respiratory system to distribute oxygen throughout the human body?

• A. Red blood cells are found in the bloodstream and are a part of the cardiovascular system.

• B. Red blood cells are found in the bloodstream and are a part of the digestive system.

• C. Red blood cells are found in the bloodstream and are a part of the muscular system.

• D. Red blood cells are found in the bloodstream and are a part of the immune system.
