Health-care workers are exposed to many different types of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms. Which body systems work together to protect the body from pathogens?
Muscular and vascular
Digestive and excretory
Circulatory and immune
Endocrine and reproductive
Which of the following correctly describes an interaction that occurs 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 respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.
The endocrine system releases hormones that prepare the immune system to deal with possible injuries.
The human digestive system is approximately 900 cm long. Food is moved through the digestive tract primarily by —
bile (helps with digestion) produced by the pancreas
the enzymes amylase and pepsin (break down sugars & protein)
peristalsis (muscular contractions)
acid in the stomach
The outermost layer of plant stems in dicotyledons consists of epidermal cells and guard cells that surround openings called stomata. The epidermal cells are usually covered with a waterproof layer that provides protection from injury and water loss. The stomata allow gas exchange. The epidermal cells and stomata have functions similar to those of which two human body systems?
Skeletal and respiratory
Cardiovascular and skeletal
Integumentary and respiratory
Cardiovascular and integumentary
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 systems
Integumentary and muscular systems
Immune and respiratory systems
Excretory and reproductive systems
Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system directly interacting with the nervous system?
Hormones provide feedback that affects neural processing.
The vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injury.
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.
The digestive and respiratory systems pair together to ...
bring carbon dioxide and wastes to cells for diffusion.
bring oxygen and wastes to cells for diffusion.
bring oxygen and nutrients to cells for cellular respiration.
bring carbon dioxide and nutrients to cells for cellular respiration.
The digestive and respiratory rely on the ___ systems to transport needed materials to the cells.
circulatory and excretory
circulatory and muscular
nervous and digestive
nervous and skeletal
The immune system fights diseases. The circulatory system pairs with the immune system because ___.
blood is made in the bones.
plasma carries nutrients.
red blood cells carry oxygen.
white blood cells fight infection.
Muscle contraction that keep food moving alone in one direction through the digestive system.
epiglottis
nephrons
peristalsis
enzymes
How do the skeletal and circulatory systems relate to each other?
Bone marrow produces blood.
The heart is made of cardiac muscle tissue.
The heart is held in place in the chest by ligaments.
The blood brings carbon dioxide and glucose to the cells of the bones.
All organ systems have this at its most basic unit.
Cells
Neurons
Tissues
Organs
The human body is composed of organ systems. Which list represents a system organized from least to most complex?
Heart 🡪 cardiac muscle 🡪 muscle tissue 🡪 muscle cell
Lung tissue 🡪 trachea 🡪 nostrils 🡪 circulatory system
Muscle cell 🡪 muscle tissue 🡪 biceps muscle 🡪 muscular system
Integumentary system 🡪 skin cell 🡪 hair 🡪 sweat glands
Which type of cell division would be mostly associated with the Reproductive System?
Binary Fission
Meiosis
Mitosis
Budding
