TESTED QUESTIONS ANSWERS FULL
SOLUTION GRADED A+
◉ muscular system.
Answer: Function: participates in body movements such as walking,
maintains posture, produces heat
components: skeletal muscle tissue
◉ Nervous system.
Answer: Function: generates action potentials (nerve impulses) to
regulate body activities, detects changes in body's internal and
external environments, RAPID COMMUNICATION
components: brain, spinal cord, nerves, and special sense organs
such as eyes and ears
◉ endocrine system
(wire-less).
Answer: Function: releases hormones (chemical messengers
transported in blood from endocrine gland or tissue to target organ)
Components: hormone-producing glands
,◉ Hormone-producing glands.
Answer: pineal, hypothalamus, pituitary, thymus, thyroid,
parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovaries, testes
◉ cardiovascular system.
Answer: Function: heart pumps blood through blood vessels, blood
carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and CO2 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
Components: blood, heart, blood vessels
◉ lymphatic system OR Immune System.
Answer: Function: 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
Components: lymphatic fluid and vessels, spleen, thymus, lymph
nodes and tonsils, cells that carry out immune responses (B &T
cells,etc)
◉ respiratory system.
Answer: Function: transfers oxygen from inhaled air to blood and
CO2 from blood to exhaled air, helps regulate acid-base balance of
, body fluids, air flowing out of lungs through vocal cords produces
sound
Components: lungs, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes,
Kidneys(create bicarbonate)
◉ digestive system.
Answer: Function: breakdown, absorption, and secretion
Components: Mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus, small intestine,
stomach, large intestine, live, anus, salivary glands, gallbladder,
pancreas
◉ urinary system.
Answer: Function: eliminate biological waste products.
Components: kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
◉ reproductive system.
Answer: Function: PRONLONG SPECIES gonads produce gametes
(sperm or oocytes) that unite to form a new organism; gonads also
release hormones that regulate reproduction and other body
processes, mammary glands produce milk
◉ metabolism.
Answer: sum of all chemical processes that occur in the body
