Which statement below accurately describes how nutrients from food reach cells in the muscular system?
Nutrients from food are first processed by the circulatory system. Then the digestive system carries the nutrients to the muscular system.
Nutrients from food are first processed by the digestive system. Then the circulatory system carries the nutrients to the muscular system.
Nutrients from food are first processed by the excretory system. Then the digestive system carries the nutrients to the muscular system.
How do kidney cells help other cells in the body?
They help other cells produce food.
They help other cells divide more quickly.
They help transport oxygen from the lungs to other cells.
They help remove wastes produced by other cells.
Which statement below best describes a function of both the nervous system and the endocrine system?
They defend against disease.
They coordinate the tasks of other organs.
They remove wastes from the body.
They transport oxygen to tissues and organs.
Which statement below BEST describes how blood works with an organ to remove waste from cells?
Blood transports unused nutrients from cells to the stomach
Blood carries carbon dioxide from cells to the kidneys
Blood carries carbon dioxide from cells to the lungs
Blood carries unused nutrients from cells to the pancreas
The circulatory and excretory system work together to:
Transfer waste from organs to outside the body
Provide body tissues with nutrients from food
Deliver oxygen to muscles
Deliver carbon dioxide to the lungs
How does the diaphragm work in a body system to serve the needs of cells?
The diaphragm works with the digestive system to help provide nutrients to the cells
The diaphragm works with the immune system to help cells repair damage from infection
The diaphragm works with the respiratory system to help provide oxygen to the cells
The diaphragm works with the excretory system to help remove waste from cells
If an illness were to prevent the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines from working correctly how would the cells of the body be affected?
Th cells would not be able to get rid of liquid waste
The cells would not be able to fight off infection
The cells would not be able to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide
The cells would not be able to receive as many nutrients
Alveoli are small sac-like structures in the lungs surrounded by small blood vessels. Which statement best describes how the alveoli and blood work together?
The alveoli take carbon dioxide from the blood and help deliver oxygen to other cells in the body
The alveoli take food from the blood and deliver wastes to other cells in the body
The alveoli take oxygen from the blood and help deliver carbon dioxide to other cells in the body.
Which of these is the most complex level of organization?
The kidneys of a fish
The mitochondria of a skin cell
Tissues that carry water in a plant
Cells that carry oxygen in an animal
Which of these best describes the level of organization in an animal?
Organs are organized into cells
Cells are organized into tissues
Organelles are organized into organs
Tissues are organized into organelles
Which of these correctly compares two levels of organization in an organism?
Organisms are composed of organs, and organs are composed of organ systems
Organ systems are composed of organisms, and organisms are composed of tissues
Organs are composed of tissues, and tissues are composed of groups of similar cells
Organ cells are composed of organ tissue, and organs are composed of organ systems
Which statement best describes how the respiratory and circulatory system work together?
The lungs receive carbon dioxide from the environment, and blood supplies it to all body cells.
The lungs receive oxygen from the environment, and blood supplies it to all body cells.
The heart receives both carbon dioxide and oxygen from the lungs, and blood transports them to all body cells.
The heart receives nutrients from the lungs, and blood transports them to all body cells.
One of the functions of the respiratory system is similar to a function of the excretory system. Which statement best describes the similarity?
Both systems provide nutrients to other cells. The respiratory system assists cells in providing blood to the body, and the excretory system assists cells by providing them with solid and liquid nutrients.
Both systems assist with cellular waste removal. The respiratory system helps remove carbon dioxide waste and the excretory system helps cells by removing other wastes produced by cells.
Both systems are involved in carbon dioxide storage. The respiratory system stores carbon dioxide for cells and the excretory system uses carbon dioxide stored in cells.
Which system of the human body processes nutrients for growth?
Digestive system
Excretory system
Muscular system
Respiratory system
How do the respiratory and circulatory system function together in the body?
They receive oxygen and supply it to each body cell
They help the body take in food and distribute nutrients
They form urine and remove waste material from the blood
They sense and react to stimuli from the external environment
Which bodily function requires the circulatory and excretory systems to work together?
delivering oxygen to muscles
providing body tissues with nutrients from food
transporting cells that fight infection to damaged skin
transferring waste from organs to outside of the body
When the skin is injured, new cells repair and replace the damaged tissue. How doe these new cells use nutrients during this process?
Nutrients reinforce the cells' structure so that the injured area cannot be harmed again.
Nutrients help break down the cells so pieces of them can be placed over the injured area.
Nutrients provide energy that the cells use to reproduce so that they can fix the injured area.
Nutrients direct the cells from other parts of the body to the injured area to help prevent blood loss.
When a person exercises, the muscle tissues need extra oxygen to continue working. Which body systems work together to allow the muscle tissues to get the oxygen they need?
nervous and skeletal
skeletal and circulatory
respiratory and nervous
respiratory and circulatory
Blood is composed of several different kinds of cells:
Which of these best describes the classification of blood and the different cell types working together?
Blood is an organ, and the parts in it are different tissues
Blood is an organism, and the parts in it are different tissues.
Blood is a tissue, and the parts in are specialized cell types.
Blood is a cell and the parts in it are specialized tissues.
