Question

the human body systems

draw a line from the definition in column a to the correct answer in column b.

column a

1. this provides structure to the human body and protects vital organs.
2. it is also known as the circulatory system and carries nutrients throughout the body.
3. it is known as the bodys control center.
4. this system includes the bodys largest organ, the skin.
5. it is the system that supports the bodys movement.
6. this system helps the body in removing excess water, toxins, and other cellular wastes.
7. it transmits electrical impulses throughout the body.
8. it is the system that works in the fertilization and propagation of genes.
9. this system helps provide energy to the body by breaking down food and converting it.
10. it is the system that controls the bodys chemical messages that come from specific gland excretions.
11. it is the bodys protective system by blocking diseases and toxins.
12. this system takes in oxygen for the body and expels carbon dioxide.

column b
a. respiratory system
b. endocrine system
c. reproductive system
d. excretory system
e. integumentary system
f. cardiovascular system
g. muscular system
h. lymphatic system
i. brain
j. central nervous system
k. skeletal system
l. digestive system

Explanation:

Match structural and support systems

The skeletal system provides structural support and protection for vital organs. The muscular system supports movement.

• Definition 1 describes providing structure and protecting vital organs, which matches the Skeletal system (K).
• Definition 5 describes supporting the body's movement, which matches the Muscular System (G).

Match transport and barrier systems

The cardiovascular system circulates blood and nutrients. The integumentary system consists of the skin.

• Definition 2 describes the circulatory system carrying nutrients, which matches the Cardiovascular system (F).
• Definition 4 describes the body's largest organ, the skin, which matches the Integumentary system (E).

Match control and communication systems

The nervous system acts as the control center and transmits electrical signals. The endocrine system uses chemical gland excretions.

• Definition 3 describes the body's control center, which matches the Central nervous system (J).
• Definition 7 describes transmitting electrical impulses, which matches the Central nervous system (J) or more broadly the nervous system.
• Definition 10 describes chemical messages from gland excretions, which matches the Endocrine system (B).

Match metabolic and excretory systems

The digestive system breaks down food. The excretory system removes cellular wastes. The respiratory system exchanges gases.

• Definition 6 describes removing excess water, toxins, and wastes, which matches the Excretory system (D).
• Definition 9 describes breaking down food for energy, which matches the Digestive system (L).
• Definition 12 describes taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, which matches the Respiratory system (A).

Match reproductive and immune systems

The reproductive system handles fertilization. The lymphatic system blocks diseases.

• Definition 8 describes fertilization and propagation of genes, which matches the Reproductive system (C).
• Definition 11 describes blocking diseases and toxins, which matches the Lymphatic system (H).
