It helps you move

2.

What is the function of the muscular system?

The function is movement of the body through muscles

b)

The function is to get rid of waste

c)

The function is to process food for nutrients and energy

d)

3.

What is the function of the cardiovascular / circulatory system?

a)

To provide nutrients to the whole body

b)

To maintain homeostasis for the body

4.

A student visits the doctor for a yearly checkup. Her doctor notes that her blood pressure is high and her ankles and feet are swollen due fluid build-up in her body. Based on the

evidence, which TWO organ systems may NOT be functioning properly.

a)

the digestive system, due to the swelling of her ankles, and the circulatory system, due to her high blood pressure.

b)

the excretory system, due to her body’s inability to remove liquid waste, and the circulatory system, which is not properly pumping blood or carrying materials throughout her body.

c)

the respiratory system, due to her high blood pressure, and the muscular system, which has affected her bladder’s ability to remove liquid waste from her body through urination.

What is the function of the immune system?

a)

To digest food

b)

To fight against pathogens and diseases

To remove waste from the body

6.

What is the function of the nervous system?

a)

Controls all parts of the body; sends signals between the brain, spinal cord, and nerve endings

b)

What happens when you get nervous to do something

c)

To fight off diseases

d)

To carry oxygen, nutrients, and blood throughout the body

7.

What is the function of the respiratory system?

a)

To digest your food

b)

To remove waste from the body

c)

To take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide

d)

To fight disease

8.

What is the function of the excretory/urinary system?

a)

Removes liquid waste from your body

b)

digests food

c)

helps you breathe

d)

circulates your blood

9.

a)

True

b)

False

10.

You’re sick, but no one is home. You need soup and Gatorade. You get enough strength to leave your bed and go make soup. What body systems are working together to help you move and fight disease?

skeletal

b)

muscular

c)

digestive

d)

immune

12.

What is the function of the skeletal system?

a)

Movement of the body

b)

transports oxygen, blood, nutrients throughout the body

c)

removes waste

d)

supports the body by holding it up; muscles are attached to help with movement

13.

How do the body systems work together when you accidentally touch a hot pan?

a)

The cardiovascular/circulatory system sends signals to your hand to move it, and your nervous system moves your hand

b)

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

c)

The digestive system moves your hand, and the cardiovascular/circulatory system sends signals to your hand

d)

The nervous system causes your hand to move, and the muscular system breaks down nutrients for your muscles to move

14.

Respiratory system increases Fred's breathing rate while the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide more oxygen to tissues and cells.

c)

The digestive system increases rate of digestion while excretory system causes Fred to pee his pants
