A

Supports the immune system and returns fluid that has leaked from the cardiovascular system back into the blood vessels

41
Q

Lymphatic system’s relationship with other organ systems: urinary system

A

Helps with proper lymphatic functioning by helping to maintain proper water/acid-base/electrolyte balance of the blood

42
Q

Lymphatic system’s relationship with other organ systems: nervous system

A

The brain helps control the immune response

43
Q

Lymphatic system’s relationship with other organ systems: reproductive and integumentary systems

A

Acidic secretions in both systems prevent bacterial growth

44
Q

What does the muscular system contain?

A

Skeletal muscles, tendons that connect muscles to bones, and ligaments that attach bones together to form joints. No smooth and cardiac muscles.

45
Q

Muscle system’s relationship with other organ systems: endocrine system

A

Endocrine system Releases hormones that influence muscular strength

46
Q

Muscle system’s relationship with other organ systems: nervous system

A

Nervous system regulates and coordinates muscle activity

47
Q

Muscle system’s relationship with other organ systems: reproductive system

A

Encourages larger muscle size in men

48
Q

Muscle system’s relationship with other organ systems: skeletal system

A

49
Q

What does the nervous system consist of?

A

Brain, spinal cord, and nerves

50
Q

What does the nervous system do?

A

Serves as the body’s control system

51
Q

How does the nervous system work?

A

Sensory receptors detect stimuli that can occur inside and outside the body. Once a threat is detected the system activates the appropriate muscles or glands to respond.

52
Q

Nervous system’s relationship with other organ systems: endocrine system

A

Endocrine system releases hormones that regulate the activity of neurons

53
Q

Nervous system’s relationship with other organ systems: urinary system

A

Urinary system helps dispose of metabolic wastes and maintains the correct electrolyte balance for proper nerve function

54
Q

What is the main function of the reproductive system?

A

To produce offspring

55
Q

What does the reproductive system consist of?

A

Testes, penis, ovaries, vagina, and breasts

56
Q

How is the reproductive system specialized in men and women?

A

In men it is specialized to produce sperm and in women to produce eggs (or ova)

57
Q

Reproductive organs also house hormones that do what?

68
Q

Skeletal system’s relationship with other organ systems: endocrine system

A

Endocrine system releases hormones that regulate growth and the release of calcium

69
Q

Skeletal system’s relationship with other organ systems: digestive system

A

Digestive system provides nutrients necessary for the mineralization of bones

70
Q

Skeletal system’s relationship with other organ systems: urinary system

A

Urinary system activates vitamin D, which is necessary for calcium absorption into bone

71
Q

Skeletal system’s relationship with other organ systems: muscular system

A

Muscular system helps place stress on the bones during exercise, which increases deposit of calcium in the bones

72
Q

Skeletal system’s relationship with other organ systems: nervous system

A

Nervous system recognized painful stimuli in the bones and joints

73
Q

Skeletal system’s relationship with other organ systems: cardiovascular system

A

The cardiovascular system supplies oxygen and nutrients while removing wastes, such as lactic acid

74
Q

Skeletal system’s relationship with other organ systems: reproductive system

A

Reproductive system influences the shape of the skeletal form

75
Q

Skeletal system’s relationship with other organ systems: integumentary system

A

Integumentary system provides vitamin D necessary for absorbing calcium into bone
