Which of these phrases could be placed in the position marked with an X?
This feedback loop is likely to be activated when —
Which body systems are directly responsible for regulating these nodes and protecting the body from harmful materials in tissue fluid?
The graph models core body temperature during a rapid change in environmental conditions.
Which statement explains the pattern in the graph?
Body temperature varies in a predictable pattern during the day.
Body temperature is controlled by an internal feedback mechanism.
Vasodilation and vasoconstriction are dependent on the time of day.
Vasodilation and vasoconstriction trigger an immediate increase in body temperature.
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
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
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?
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
When you eat food, a hormone is secreted by the pancreas to control the amount of sugar or glucose levels in your blood, called insulin. What systems work together to produce and transport this hormone?
Digestive and Nervous
Endocrine and Circulatory
Immune and Endocrine
Muscular and Nervous
Which level of organization is listed correctly from simple to complex?
Organelle, organ, organ system, tissue, cell
Cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell
cell, tissue, organ system, organ, organelle
What do the digestive system and reproductive system have in common?
Both provide support
Both involve transport
Both are made of tissues and organs
Both maintain homeostasis and response
You become sick with strep throat. How does your body respond in order to help fight the pathogen?
Digestive system will eat the bacteria
Your circulatory system makes red blood cells to kill the bacteria
Your immune system sends white blood cells to attack the bacteria
You become thirsty and drink more water to help the excretory system get rid of the bacteria
Organs, like the lungs, heart, or skin work together as part of a
tissue
cell
organ system
organism
Which human body systems interact to produce movement of the body?
Nervous and endocrine
Skeletal and muscular
Circulatory and digestive
Excretory and nervous
What is the main function of the nervous system?
Responsible for control of the body and communication among body parts
Responsible for production of offspring
Helps to rid the body of toxins, water, and other unwanted materials and transports lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body
Provides oxygen to the body's cells, while moving carbon dioxide
The esophagus and intestines are made up of smooth muscles that move food through these organs using muscular contractions. Which two systems are working together here?
Muscular and Digestive
Reproductive and Endocrine
Muscular and Excretory
Digestive and Immune
When your body comes in contact with a sharp object, an impulse sent you your brain triggers a reflex that causes you to move away from the object. What body systems are interacting to cause this response?
Nervous, Respiratory,
Nervous, Muscular
Nervous, Skeletal
Nervous, Digestive
Olympic sprinters undergo increased heart and breathing rates while competing. Which of the following best describes the interactions among systems of a sprinter?
Respiratory system is working to obtain more oxygen, while the circulatory system works to transport the oxygen to the muscles.
The digestive system takes in more glucose, while the excretory system removes waste.
The endocrine system transports ATP to the nervous system
Excretory system removes waste from the digestive system to reduce weight so the sprinter can run faster
