Perfectly 100%.
key structures in the skeletal system correct answers Bones, joints, cartilage, ligament (bone to
bone), tendons (muscle to bone)
three types of muscle found in the body correct answers Striated muscle (skeletal muscle, moves
all bones), smooth muscle (lines the walls of the internal organs), cardiac muscle (both striated
and smooth/ only found in the heart)
the two main divisions of the nervous system correct answers a. Central nervous system:
Brain and spinal cord
b. Peripheral nervous system:
All the nerves outside brain & spinal cord/ relay messages between CNS and other areas of the
body. Communicates with sensory organs
the structures of the upper and lower respiratory tract correct answers Upper: nose, pharynx
(throat) and larynx (voice box) Lower: trachea (windpipe), bronchial tree and lungs
main structures of the cardiovascular system correct answers The heart, arteries (blood from
heart to body tissues), and veins (oxygen-poor blood to the heart)
the pathway of blood through the heart correct answers Oxygenated blood enters into the left
side of the heart, which pumps it out of the heart through the aorta. Arteries and capillaries
deliver the oxygenated blood to the cells in the organs. Veins carry oxygen-poor blood and
wastes (carbon dioxide and water) from cells back toward the lungs, where it receives oxygen.
main organs of the digestive system correct answers Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine,
large intestine, anus
, major organs of the urinary system correct answers Kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra

levels.
Muscular strength correct answers helps improve muscle strength, posture, ease of movement,
and the ability to perform everyday activities. Makes tendons, ligaments, and bones stronger.
Muscular Endurance correct answers improves heart health, aids in weight loss, improves mood
and sleep quality, prevents age- related decline, increases lifespan
Flexibility correct answers allows muscles to work at their full potential, reduces the risk of
injury and pain, and improves posture and balance
