10A Questions

Which two body systems are involved in the process of sending messages through hormones to the target location in the body?

• Digestive and nervous

• Circulatory and endocrine

• Respiratory and immune

• Endocrine and immune

According to the diagram, which four body systems are interacting to maintain blood calcium homeostasis?

• Respiratory, digestive, muscular, skeletal

• Respiratory, immune, reproductive, endocrine

• Endocrine, excretory, integumentary, muscular

• Endocrine, digestive, excretory, skeletal

Which statement best describes the interaction between body systems that allows horses to repel biting flies?

• The nervous system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the muscular system to move.

• The circulatory system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the nervous system to move.

• The muscular system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the integumentary system to move.

• The integumentary system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the circulatory system to move.

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 system must interact with the respiratory and digestive systems to transport gases and nutrients throughout the body?

• Endocrine

• Integumentary

• Immune

• Circulatory

When the skin comes in contact with an irritant, which two systems are most likely interacting when a person experiences itching caused by a skin irritant?

• Circulatory and excretory

• Integumentary and nervous

• Digestive and muscular

• Respiratory and lymphatic

Which body systems interact most directly in the three listed processes of breaking down food for nutrients, salivary enzymes breaking down starch molecules in food, releasing gastrointestinal enzymes in response to a hormone, and nutrients being absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine?

• Digestive, Integumentary, Muscular

• Circulatory, Excretory, Immune

• Excretory, Immune, Muscular

• Circulatory, Digestive, Endocrine

Which statement best describes an interaction between the muscular system and the respiratory system?

• The hormone adrenaline causes blood vessels to contract and send more blood to major muscles.

• Metabolic wastes generated by muscle cells are eliminated in urine.

• The diaphragm contracts causing the chest cavity to expand, which draws air into the lungs.

• Nutrients absorbed in the small intestine are transported in blood to the brain.

Which four body systems interact to allow a person to sneeze?

• Muscular, immune, nervous, respiratory

• Nervous, respiratory, circulatory, skeletal

• Respiratory, endocrine, skeletal, circulatory

• Lymphatic, skeletal, respiratory, muscular

Based on the diagram, which two systems interact to maintain homeostasis?

• The nervous and reproductive systems work together to stimulate the production of insulin.

• The circulatory and endocrine systems work together to keep blood sugar levels constant.

• The excretory and nervous systems work together to convert glycogen into glucose.

• The immune and circulatory systems work together to circulate blood through the pancreas.
