Juana plays on a soccer team and kicked the
soccer ball to her teammate. What role did her
muscles perform?
Her muscles carried blood to her legs.
Her muscles made the energy for her legs.
Her muscles stored minerals in her legs.
Her muscles moved the bones in her legs.
What is the main function of the immune system?
to stimulate the transmission of disease-fighting
enzymes
to recognize and attack disease-causing
organisms
to alert other systems in the body of foreign cells
to maintain a constant flow of blood to wounds
The respiratory system supplies oxygen to the
blood in the body, while removing carbon dioxide.
Which system directly interacts with the
respiratory system to maintain homeostasis?
the excretory system when it sends out liquid
waste as urea
the skeletal system when oxygen and glucose
around the ribs are absorbed
the nervous system when the brain regulates
the body's breathing and heart rate
the digestive system when food is broken down
for nutrients
The circulatory system interacts with the immune system to
help the body maintain homeostasis by
distributing white blood cells that attack disease
across different organs.
destroying harmful toxins.
breaking down inorganic substances that can be
used by different organs.
causing the growth of muscles.
Liquid waste is held in the bladder until the
bladder sends information to the brain to
let the brain know that the bladder is full. The
brain controls the release of this waste. Which two systems are working together in this example?
digestive and muscular
circulatory and respiratory
excretory and nervous
immune and skeletal
Which two systems work together to make your stomach growl and make you feel hunger?
respiratory and circulatory
muscular and skeletal
digestive and nervous
excretory and immune
In the small intestine, tiny food particles (nutrients) are absorbed into blood vessels. What happens to the tiny food particles in the blood vessels?
The nutrients are held together to form a solid.
They exit the body through the excretory system.
The blood vessels carry the nutrients to organs throughout the body.
They fight infection.
Which of the following organs is part of the digestive
system?
trachea
esophagus
bronchi
diaphragm
Which type of muscles are used when a person
walks?
cardiac muscles
smooth muscles
joints and tendons
skeletal muscles
Which statement best describes how the circulatory and
immune systems work together to maintain homeostasis?
The circulatory system influences the body's metabolism, and the immune system destroys it.
The circulatory system returns oxygen-poor blood back to the lungs, where the immune system adds oxygen-rich blood.
The immune system fights infections and the circulatory system transports white blood cells in the blood.
The immune system produces voluntary responses in the body, while the circulatory system produces red blood cells to fight
infections.
What is the primary role of the cardiovascular system in maintaining the body?
It signals nervous responses and hormones.
It controls growth and sexual reproduction.
It provides cells with nutrients and oxygen, while it removes waste.
It breaks down food and carbon dioxide, while it excretes mucus.
What is the product that is released by the respiratory system when a person exhales?
oxygen
carbon dioxide
nitrogen
glucose

heart
stomach
lungs
bladder
Which system of the body directly controls heartbeat, body temperature, breathing rate, and blood pressure?
digestive
skeletal
immune
nervous

feeding vital organs
protecting vital organs
monitoring vital organs
Which two systems of the human body interact to
maintain homeostasis by utilizing white blood cells against invaders?
immune and circulatory
respiratory and cardiovascular
endocrine and immune
cardiovascular and integumentary
What is the primary function of the immune system?
to defend the body against infectious agents and other invaders
to communicate information between the systems
to extract energy from food, and deliver it to muscle groups
to organize information received from the sense organs
