What is the function of the skeletal system?

• Vision, hearing, and balance

• Respiration, circulation, and filtration

• Support, protection, and movement

• Digestion, absorption, and elimination

Name the bones that make up the human skull.

• Leg bone, arm bone, rib bone, finger bone

• Shoulder bone, hip bone, knee bone, elbow bone

• Frontal bone, parietal bones, temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone

• Back bone, chest bone, neck bone, foot bone

What is the main function of the nervous system?

• Transmitting signals and coordinating bodily functions

• Producing hormones

• Regulating body temperature

• Digesting food and absorbing nutrients

Explain the difference between the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

• The central nervous system is made up of the autonomic nervous system, while the peripheral nervous system is made up of the somatic nervous system.

• The central nervous system is responsible for motor functions, while the peripheral nervous system is responsible for sensory functions.

• The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves outside of the central nervous system.

• The central nervous system is located in the arms and legs, while the peripheral nervous system is located in the head and torso.

What is the definition of anatomy?

• The study of ancient artifacts

• The study of chemical reactions

• The study of weather patterns

• The branch of science that deals with the structure of organisms and their parts.

Describe the structure and function of the skin in the integumentary system.

• The skin is not an organ in the integumentary system, but rather a collection of tissues. It has no specific structure or function.

• The skin is the largest organ in the integumentary system, consisting of four main layers: the epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, and subcutaneous layer. Its functions include digestion, respiration, and circulation.

• The skin is the smallest organ in the integumentary system, consisting of two main layers: the epidermis and dermis. Its functions include vitamin C production and waste elimination.

• The skin is the largest organ in the integumentary system, consisting of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Its functions include protection, sensation, temperature regulation, and vitamin D production.

What are the special senses in the human body?

• Sight, hearing, touch, smell

• Sight, hearing, taste, smell

• hearing, pressure, taste, smell

• Pressure, temperature, pain, touch

Explain the process of vision and how the eye works.

• The eye works by emitting light and creating images directly on the retina.

• The eye works by refracting light and converting it into electrical signals for the brain to interpret.

• Vision is the result of the eye capturing sound waves and converting them into visual information.

• The process of vision involves the eye absorbing heat and using it to form images for the brain.

How does the sense of taste work in the human body?

• Taste buds contain receptors that send signals to the brain when they come into contact with food or drink.

• The sense of taste is controlled by the sense of touch

• Taste is determined by the color of the food or drink

• Taste buds are located in the ears and nose

Describe the function of the auditory system in the special senses.

• It is responsible for the sense of vision and color.

• It is responsible for the sense of taste and smell.

• It is responsible for the sense of touch and pressure.

• It is responsible for the sense of hearing and balance.
