• Circulatory system

• Nervous system

• Skeletal system

What is the main function of the skeletal system?

• Digestive system

A student eats a sandwich. Describe the sequence of body systems involved in digesting and absorbing the nutrients from the sandwich.

• Digestive → Circulatory → Respiratory

• Digestive → Circulatory → Excretory

• Respiratory → Digestive → Nervous

• Circulatory → Digestive → Muscular

If a person breaks a bone, which two body systems must work together to heal the injury?

• Skeletal and Immune

• Digestive and Respiratory

• Muscular and Endocrine

• Circulatory and Digestive

How does the muscular system help the respiratory system function?

• By producing hormones that control breathing

• By moving the diaphragm to allow breathing

• By transporting oxygen in the blood

• By digesting food for energy

Which scenario best demonstrates the interaction between the nervous and muscular systems?

• Sweating to cool the body

• Pulling your hand away from a hot stove

A student is running a race. Explain how the circulatory, respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the student complete the race.

• The circulatory system delivers oxygen from the respiratory system to the muscles, which use the oxygen to produce energy for movement.

• The muscular system produces oxygen, the circulatory system uses it, and the respiratory system stores it.

• The respiratory system digests food, the circulatory system moves bones, and the muscular system pumps blood.

• The circulatory system breaks down food, the muscular system controls breathing, and the respiratory system moves the body.

A person is experiencing high blood sugar levels. Which two body systems are primarily involved in regulating blood sugar, and how do they interact?

• Digestive and Immune; the immune system attacks sugar molecules

• Endocrine and Circulatory; the endocrine system releases insulin, which the circulatory system transports to cells

• Respiratory and Muscular; the muscular system uses sugar for breathing

• Skeletal and Digestive; the skeletal system stores sugar
