Lungs, pharynx, bronchial tubes are all a part of which system?

Answer 21

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Question 22

mouth, esophagus, stomach, small;l and large intestines, and the anus are all a part of which system?

Answer 22

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Question 23

Answer 23

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Question 24

Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra are all a part of which system?

Answer 24

URINARY SYSTEM

Question 25

gonads (testes in male, ovaries in females), mammary glands, vagina, penis are all a part of which system?

Answer 25

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

Question 26

Name the system: Functions: Protects body; helps regulate body temperature; eliminates some wastes; helps make vitamin D; detects sensations such as touch, pain, warmth, and cold; stores fat and provides insulation.

Answer 26

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM

Question 27

Name the system: Functions: Supports and protects body; provides surface area for muscle attachments; aids body movements; houses cells that produce blood cells; stores minerals and lipids (fats).

Answer 27

SKELETAL SYSTEM

Question 28

Name the system: Functions: Participates in body movements, such as walking; maintains posture; produces heat.

Answer 28

MUSCULAR SYSTEM

Question 29

Name the system: Functions: Generates action potentials (nerve impulses) to regulate body activities; detects changes in body’s internal and external environments, interprets changes, and responds by causing muscular contractions or glandular secretions.

Answer 29

NERVOUS SYSTEM

Question 30

Name the system: Functions: Regulates body activities by releasing hormones (chemical messengers transported in blood from endocrine gland or tissue to target organ).

Answer 30

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Question 31

Name the system: Functions: Heart pumps blood through blood vessels; blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and carbon dioxide and wastes away from cells and helps regulate acid–base balance, temperature, and water content of body fluids; blood components help defend against disease and repair damaged blood vessels.

Answer 31

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

Question 32

Name the system: Functions: Returns proteins and fluid to blood; carries lipids from gastrointestinal tract to blood; contains sites of maturation and proliferation of B cells and T cells that protect against disease-causing microbes.

Answer 32

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND IMMUNITY

Question 33

Name the system: Functions: Transfers oxygen from inhaled air to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to exhaled air; helps regulate acid–base balance of body fluids; air flowing out of lungs through vocal cords produces sounds.

Answer 33

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Question 34

Name the system: Functions: Achieves physical and chemical breakdown of food; absorbs nutrients; eliminates solid wastes.

Answer 34

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Question 35

Name the system: Functions: Produces, stores, and eliminates urine; eliminates wastes and regulates volume and chemical composition of blood; helps maintain the acid–base balance of body fluids; maintains body’s mineral balance; helps regulate production of red blood cells.

Answer 35

URINARY SYSTEM

Question 36

Name the system: Functions: Gonads produce gametes (sperm or oocytes) that unite to form a new organism; gonads also release hormones that regulate reproduction and other body processes; associated organs transport and store gametes; mammary glands produce milk

Answer 36
