Body Systems
Digestive System - correct answer-breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates solid
waste

Respiratory System - correct answer-Takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide

Reproductive System - correct answer-Enables body to produce offspring

Nervous System - correct answer-Controls the body's activities; responds to internal and
external stimuli

Skeletal System - correct answer-Protects internal organs, produces blood cells, gives
shape and support

Endocrine System - correct answer-Produces hormones that help regulate some of the
body's activities

Lymphatic/Immune System - correct answer-keep infectious microorganisms, such as
certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi, out of the body, and to destroy any infectious
microorganisms that do invade the body

Muscular System - correct answer-Enables the body to move

Circulatory System - correct answer-Carries needed materials through the body and picks up
wastes

Integumentary System - correct answer-protects the body from various kinds of damage,
such as loss of water or abrasion from outside

,Body Systems
Integumentary System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that includes the skin, hair,
nails, and glands (oil, sweat, and ear wax)

Integumentary System - Function - correct answer-Body system that functions in controlling
body temperature and protecting underlying tissues

Skeletal System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that includes all 206 bones, as
well as their respective joints

Skeletal System - Functions - correct answer-Body system that protects internal organs,
provides structure, helps with movement, and also is involved in making blood cells

Muscular System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that includes skeletal, cardiac,
and smooth muscle tissue

Muscular System - Function - correct answer-Body sytem that functions primarily in body
movement and movement of things within the body; it also produces heat and maintains
posture

Nervous System - Structures - correct answer-Body System that consists of the brain, spinal
cord, and nerve endings

Nervous System - Functions - correct answer-Body System that controls all other systems
by way of nerve impulses

Endocrine System - Structures - correct answer-Body System that includes most glands of
the body (thyroid, pituitary, pineal)

Cardiovascular (Circulatory) System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that consists
of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood

Cardiovascular (Circulatory) System - Functions - correct answer-Body system that carries
oxygen and nutrients TO tissues and removes carbon dioxide and other waste products from
the body

Immune (Lymphatic) System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that consists of the
spleen, lymph nodes, thymus glands and tonsils

Immune (Lymphatic) System - Functions - correct answer-Body system that helps to fight
infection

Respiratory System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that includes the lungs,
trachea, broncial tubes, larynx and pharnyx

, Respiratory System - Functions - correct answer-Body system that exchanges carbon
dioxide for oxgyen within the lungs

Digestive System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that consists of the alimentary
canal - mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum & anus, as well
as accessory organs (liver, pancreas, gallbladder)

Digestive System - Functions - correct answer-Body system that breaks down food nutrients
and absorbs them for use within the body

Urinary (Excretory) System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that includes the
urinary bladder, ureters, urethra, and kidneys

Urinary (Excretory) System - Functions - correct answer-Body system that regulates the
liquid wastes of the body

Reproductive System - Structures - correct answer-Body system that includes either the
female sex organs (vagina, ovaries) or male sex organs (penis, testis)

Reproductive System - Functions - correct answer-Body system that reproduces the human
organism

Endocrine System - Functions - correct answer-Body system that helps to control other
systems by releasing hormones
