Intro to Body Systems

What role does the skeletal system play in the body?

• Provides structure and support.

• Regulates body temperature.

• Facilitates digestion of food.

• Produces hormones for growth.

What is a tendon?

• A type of muscle tissue that contracts to produce movement.

• A connective tissue that connects muscle to bone.

• A type of joint that allows for movement between bones.

What is the role of the nervous system in the body?

• To transmit signals between different parts of the body.

• To digest food and absorb nutrients.

• To circulate blood throughout the body.

• To provide structural support to the body.

What are the two body systems that allow you to move?

• Nervous and Endocrine systems.

• Muscular and Skeletal systems.

• Respiratory and Circulatory systems.

• Digestive and Immune systems.

Which system includes the heart and blood vessels?

• Nervous system

• Digestive system

• Circulatory system

• Respiratory system

What is the function of the alveoli in the lungs?

• Exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between lungs and blood.

• Filter out dust and particles from the air.

• Regulate body temperature through respiration.

• Produce mucus to trap pathogens.
