What is the primary role of the skeletal system in the human body?
✔✔ The primary role of the skeletal system is to provide structural support, protect vital organs,
and facilitate movement by serving as a framework for the attachment of muscles.
How does the muscular system interact with the skeletal system to produce movement?
✔✔ The muscular system interacts with the skeletal system by contracting and pulling on bones
through tendons, which creates movement at the joints.
What are the functions of the integumentary system in maintaining homeostasis?
✔✔ The integumentary system maintains homeostasis by regulating body temperature,
protecting internal organs, and serving as a barrier against pathogens and dehydration.
How does the nervous system support other body systems?
1
, ✔✔ The nervous system supports other body systems by transmitting signals that coordinate
bodily functions, regulate responses to stimuli, and maintain communication between the brain
and various organs.
What role do ligaments play in joint stability?
✔✔ Ligaments play a crucial role in joint stability by connecting bones to each other and helping
to maintain proper alignment and prevent excessive movement that could lead to injury.
How does the endocrine system influence the functioning of other systems in the body?
✔✔ The endocrine system influences other systems by secreting hormones that regulate
processes such as metabolism, growth, and stress responses, affecting overall homeostasis and
system coordination.
What is the function of the cardiovascular system in nutrient delivery and waste removal?
