Cell → Tissue → Organ → System → Organism
Organ → Cell → System → Tissue → Organism
System → Organ → Tissue → Cell → Organism
What is the smallest unit of life?
Organ
Tissue
Cell
Organ system
A group of similar cells working together is called:
An organ
A tissue
A system
An organism
Which of the following is an example of an organ?
Heart
Muscle tissue
Blood cell
Skeleton
What is the job of an organ system?
To produce food
To allow organisms to breathe
To allow organs to work together
To remove waste only
Which of these is NOT a function of the human skeleton?
Support
Making hormones
Protection
Movement
Which bone protects the brain?
Femur
Rib cage
Skull
Tibia
Which of the following is found in the arm?
Femur
Tibia
Fibula
Humerus
What is the name of the bone in your upper leg?
Femur
Radius
Ulna
Pelvis
What is the purpose of bone marrow?
Lubricates joints
Produces blood cells
Stores fat
Pumps blood
What are ligaments?
Tough cords attaching muscle to bone
Stretchy tissues connecting bone to bone
Soft tissue covering bone ends
Cells that repair cartilage
What are tendons?
Connect bone to bone
Connect organ to system
Connect muscle to bone
Cover the ends of bones
What is cartilage?
Hard bone tissue
Tissue that covers bone ends to reduce friction
Tissue that pumps blood
A type of muscle
What type of joint is the knee?
Pivot joint
Ball-and-socket joint
Hinge joint
Sliding joint
Which statement about hinge joints is true?
They allow rotation in all directions
They allow 180° movement like a door
They only occur in the skull
They make bones produce blood cells
Tendons must NOT be stretchy because:
They would break easily
Bones would not stay aligned
Muscles could not pull bones to move joints
The joint would get too warm
Ligaments must be slightly stretchy because:
They help bones grow
They allow some movement without bones snapping
They produce cartilage
They store nutrients
Which of these shows a correct pair?
Cartilage – produces blood cells
Ligament – connects muscle to bone
Tendon – connects muscle to bone
Bone – reduces friction
Movement at joints happens because:
Ligaments contract and pull bones
Muscles contract and pull on bones via tendons
Bones stretch and relax
Cartilage pushes joints open
Why do bones in the leg tend to be thicker than bones in the arm?
They contain more cartilage
They are not used for movement
They hold up more body weight
They protect the lungs
