What is not a role of the skeleton
Locomotion

What is a Homologous structure?
A structure which is inherited by the same common ancestor
A structure with similar anatomy and function in different animals
A structure only found in a homologous animal
A structure with contains the same morphology as a dolphin
How has the skeletal system of a bird adapted?
Fused Collarbone
Contains a rudder to assist in movement (pygostyle)
Keeled breastbone
All of the above
What is the function of the digestive system?
It transports blood and oxygen to your cells
It helps you breathe by taking in oxygen and transporting carbon dioxide out of your body
It breaks down food so the nutrients can be absorbed by your body
It helps you move
What is the function of the cardiovascular / circulatory system?
To provide nutrients to the whole body
To fight off infection or disease
To maintain homeostasis for the body
To transport nutrients, oxygen, and blood throughout the body
How do the body systems work together when you accidentally touch a hot pan?
The cardiovascular/circulatory system sends signals to your hand to move it, and your nervous system moves your hand
The nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves) send a signal to your hand to move it, and your muscular system causes your hand to move
The digestive system moves your hand, and the cardiovascular/circulatory system sends signals to your hand
The nervous system causes your hand to move (brain), and the muscular system breaks down nutrients for your muscles to move
Which of the following structures is part of the integumentary system?
Skin
Kidney
Brain
Heart
The nervous system produces hormones that stimulate the ovum, and the circulatory system moves the ovum into the uterine tube.
The circulatory system supplies the uterine wall with oxygenated blood, and the immune system prevents damage to the ovum.
The reproductive system produces the ovum, and the muscular system causes the migration of the ovum by peristaltic contractions.
The excretory system expels the ovum from the ovary, and the nervous system causes the contractions of the smooth tissues of the uterine wall.
Coracias garrulus is a blue bird with an orange-brown back. The offspring of this bird have an effective defense mechanism. The young birds vomit and cover themselves in a foul-smelling orange liquid when they sense a threat by predators. Which two systems alert the young bird to the danger and help produce the vomit it uses as a defense?
Nervous and digestive
Immune and respiratory
Integumentary and muscular
Excretory and reproductive
Which correctly describes an interaction between two body systems of a rabbit that helps the rabbit outrun a pursuing coyote?
The skeletal system releases additional calcium, and the circulatory system retains more sodium in the blood to provide muscles with ions for contraction.
The digestive system increases the rate of digestion, and the excretory system ceases to provide tissues with more nutrients.
The endocrine system releases hormones that prepare the immune system to deal with possible injuries
The respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.
What is the function of cartilage?
Strong yet somewhat flexible support material. Cartilage has an abundance of collagenous fibers within a rubbery matrix. Provides flexible support.
Short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue. Connect two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint
A flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue. They attach muscle to bone allowing and facilitating movement
What is a ligament
A flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue. They attach muscle to bone allowing and facilitating movement
A short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue. Connect two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint
Strong yet somewhat flexible support material. Cartilage has an abundance of collagenous fibers within a rubbery matrix. Provides flexible support.
What is a Tendon?
Strong yet somewhat flexible support material. Cartilage has an abundance of collagenous fibers within a rubbery matrix. Provides flexible support.
A short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue. Connect two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint
A flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue. They attach muscle to bone allowing and facilitating movement

Why are the walls of the left ventricle thicker than that of the right ventricle
The left ventricle must force blood into all the capillaries of the lungs
