Human Body Flashcards
Human Body quiz (22 cards)
Which two systems work together to enable you to bend your arm?
Muscular and skeletal systems
The muscular system contracts to move the bones of the skeletal system.
Which two systems work together to control all functions of the body?
Nervous and endocrine systems
The nervous system sends signals while the endocrine system releases hormones.
Which three systems work together to excrete waste materials from the body?
Urinary, circulatory, and integumentary systems
The urinary system filters blood, the circulatory system transports waste, and the integumentary system helps eliminate waste through sweat.
Which two systems work together to bring nutrients to all the cells of the body?
Digestive and circulatory systems
The digestive system breaks down food, and the circulatory system distributes nutrients.
Which two systems work together to provide oxygen to every cell in your body?
Respiratory and circulatory systems
The respiratory system brings in oxygen, and the circulatory system transports it to cells.
Which two systems work together to enable the body to move?
Muscular and skeletal systems
The muscular system allows movement by acting on the skeletal system.
Describe several ways the human body maintains homeostasis other than temperature.
The human body maintains homeostasis through regulation of pH levels, blood glucose levels, and fluid balance.
How do the respiratory and circulatory system work together?
The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body and removes carbon dioxide, while the circulatory system transports oxygen to cells and carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
How does the respiratory system and the musculoskeletal system work together?
The respiratory system provides oxygen needed for muscle contraction, while the musculoskeletal system enables movement that facilitates breathing.
What is the difference between viruses and bacteria?
Viruses are smaller and require a host cell to replicate, while bacteria are single-celled organisms that can reproduce independently.
How does the immune system work to protect you against infectious agents?
The immune system identifies and attacks pathogens through various cells and antibodies, providing a defense against infections.
What is the function of the Cardiovascular system?
Transport oxygen, food, and waste products throughout the body.
What is the function of the Digestive system?
Breaks down food in order to provide energy to the body.
What is the function of the Endocrine system?
Controls body processes like homeostasis, growth and development by using chemical messages.
What is the function of the Integumentary system?
Protects from pathogens, regulates body temperature and removes waste.
What is the function of the Lymphatic system?
Collects excess fluid and returns it to thee blood, helps fight pathogens.
What is the function of the Muscular system?
Moves the body and internal organisms, produces heat.
What is the function of the Nervous system?
Gathers information about the internal and external environment and responds to the information using electrical messages.
What is the function of the Reproductive system?
Produces offspring.
What is the function of the Skeletal system?
Supports the body and protects internal organs.
What is the function of the Respiratory system?
Brings oxygen into the body and releases carbon dioxide and other wastes.
What is the function of the Urinary system?
Removes waste and excess material from the body and excretes it.
