B10B The female reproductive and endocrine systems work interactively for which main purpose?
To maintain homeostasis by removing waste products from the body
To release neurotransmitters during times of stress
To control hormone levels to prepare the body for pregnancy
To exchange gases to support cellular aerobic respiration
B10B How do the circulatory system and immune system work together to respond to an injury?
Increased blood flow kills healthy cells which prevents infection at the site of the injury.
Increased blood flow removes infected cells from the body at the site of the Injury
Increased blood flow carries white blood cells to the site of the injury.
Increased blood flow allows for an increase in the exchange of 02 and CO2 at the site of the injury.
B10B Which two body systems must directly interact for vertebrate organisms to exchange gases?
Skeletal system and muscular system
Excretory system and reproductive system
Circulatory system and respiratory system
Digestive system and immune system
B10B The picture shows bean-shaped glands called nodes. The clusters of cells in nodes include macrophages that break down viruses and other potentially harmful materials. Nodes also contain cells that produce protein particles capable of capturing harmful materials that flow in
tissue fluid through the nodes. Different parts of the body are drained by nodes in different regions of the body.
Which body systems are directly responsible for regulating these nodes and protecting the body from harmful materials in tissue fluid?
Immune and lymphatic systems
Digestive and nervous systems
Endocrine and digestive systems
Circulatory and nervous systems
B10B Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system directly interacting with the nervous system?
The vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injury.
Hormones provide feedback that affects neural processing.
Sensory receptors in bones send signals about body position to the brain
The brain sends signals that control the speed at which food moves through the intestines
B10B A student studying interactions between body systems constructs this table. The student plans to fill out the table with phrases that describe an interaction between each pair of systems. Which of these phrases could be placed in the position marked with an X?
Provides nutrients to kidney cells
Provides nutrients to brain cells
Provides nutrients to nerve cells
Provides nutrients to muscle cells
B10B During the final stages of human gestation, receptors for the hormone oxytocin increase on the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. The release of oxytocin during labor stimulates the smooth muscle tissue in the wall of the uterus. The vigorous contraction of the uterine smooth muscle helps push the baby through the birth canal so that delivery can occur. This process involves the interaction of which organ systems?
Endocrine and muscular only
Endocrine and reproductive only
Endocrine, muscular, and reproductive
Endocrine, reproductive, and excretory
B10B Scientists studying illnesses caused by chemically contaminated food conduct research to minimize the effects of these diseases on society. These chemicals harm the body through interactions between the digestive system and the immune system. Scientists conducting this
research are likely to describe which of these interactions between the digestive and immune systems?
Chemicals enter the immune system through a break in the skin. The chemical contamination is then passed to the digestive system by the circulatory system .
The immune system transforms the chemicals in the contaminated foods into harmless chemicals. These harmless chemicals are then broken down by the digestive system .
When contaminated foods are eaten, the immune system prevents the chemicals from entering the digestive system.
Chemicals enter the digestive system through contaminated foods. Once in the body, the chemical contaminants impair the body's ability to fight off infectious diseases.
B10B Kidneys are part of the excretory system in a human body. They purify the impure blood and send it back to the rest of the body. Which system is mainly responsible for the transport of plasma to the kidneys?
Respiratory system
Circulatory system
Muscular system
Nervous system
B10B An informational pamphlet in a health clinic describes an interaction between body systems Which statement identifies the body systems that are directly involved in the interaction described and explains how they accomplish the interaction?
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.
B10B Coradas 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 systems
Integumentary and muscular systems
Immune and respiratory systems
Excretory and reproductive systems
B10B Animal body systems often coordinate their actions to carry out specific functions for the whole animal. Which of these correctly describes the interaction of two biological systems for a specific purpose in the human body?
B10B What two human systems work together to provide body cells with a constant supply of oxygen while removing carbon dioxide waste products
Nervous and endocrine
Muscular and skeletal
Respiratory and circulatory
Excretory and integumentary
B10B When a person is suddenly cut by a sharp object, a nervous impulse is sent along a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. The impulse is immediately transmitted through motor neurons to produce a response. Which of the following correctly identifies and describes this response?
It is a conditioned response that occurs only to prevent injury.
It is a learned response that does not occur in infants and small children.
It is a reflex response that causes various muscles to contract in order to move away from the object.
It is a voluntary response that is initiated only after the impulse has been carried to the relevant area in the brain.
B10B Toxoplasmosis is an infection producing brain lesions caused by the parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. Mice with their gonads removed are more resistant to T. gondii and develop very few lesions on their brain tissue. The graph shows the results of a scientific
study of normal adult mice infected with T. gondii.
Which systems most likely interact and cause the severity of infections to vary?
Muscular and skeletal
Immune and endocrine
Excretory and respiratory
Nervous and integumentary
B10B Health-ca re workers are exposed to many different types of pathogenic and non pathogenic microorganisms. Which body systems work together to protect the body from pathogens?
Muscular and vascular
Digestive and excretory
Circulatory and immune
Endocrine and reproductive
B10B Which of the following correctly describes an interaction that occurs between two body systems of a rabbit that helps the rabbit out run 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 respiratory system in creases the breathing rate, and the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.
The endocrine system re leases hormones that prepare the immune system to deal with possible injuries.
B10B The human digestive system is approximately 900 cm long . Food is moved through the digestive tract primarily by -
bile produced by the pancreas
the enzymes amylase and pepsin
muscular contractions
hydrochloric acid in the stomach
