TEKS OBJECTIVE 10:

1. TAKS OBJECTIVE 2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the organization of living systems. TEKS OBJECTIVE 10: The student knows that, at all levels of nature, living systems are found within other living systems, each with its own boundary and limits. (A) interpret the functions of systems in organisms including circulatory, digestive,nervous, endocrine, reproductive, integumentary, skeletal, respiratory, muscular, excretory and immune (B) compare the interrelationship of organ systems to each other and to the body as a whole

2. Integumentary Systems • Function: Cover and protect the body, controls body temperature, prevents fluids from leaving the body • Organs Included: Skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, sebaceous (oil) glands

3. Skeletal System • Function: Supports the body, helps with movement and protects internal organs. Is responsible for creating blood cells in red marrow. • Includes: all bones *Joints= The place where 2 bones meet, allowing the skeleton to move. *Ligaments= Bands of connective tissue that connect the 2 bones that form joints

4. Muscular System • Function: Moves food through the digestive tract, allows for movement and causes the heart to contract. • Includes: 3 types of muscles- *Skeletal muscle - voluntary (can be controlled) and makes up the muscles that moves the skeleton. Work like levers with the skeletal system to move body part. *Cardiac muscle - involuntary (cannot be controlled) and makes up the heart muscle. *Smooth muscle - involuntary and is found in the walls of the body (ex: stomach, intestines, blood vessels)

5. Remember, the skeletal system is responsible for red blood cell production. TAKS PRACTICE Red marrow is the principal tissue that produces red blood cells in humans. In which body system is red marrow found? F Integumentary system G Respiratory system H Nervous system J Skeletal system

6. Flexing the bicep will raise the lower arm. Which structure in the upper arm is responsible for raising the lower arm? A 1 B 2 C 3 D 4

7. Flexing the triceps will lower/straighten the lower arm The diagram represents a human arm. Which structure is most responsible for moving the arm to a straighter position? A Tendons of origin B Biceps C Radius D Triceps

8. Muscles work as levers for body movement Which of the following is directly caused by muscle action? F Regeneration of nerves G Healing of wounds H Release of hormones J Extension of limbs

9. Nervous System • Function: Carries information between all parts of the body and the brain by electrical and chemical messages transmitted by neurons. • Includes: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves.

10. Endocrine System • Function: Makes hormones, controls growth, metabolism and reproduction. The 2nd most important system. • Includes: Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenal glands and gonads.

11. Neurons transmit chemical Messages. In the diagram above, one cell creates and releases chemicals that travel to a second cell and quickly induce that cell into action. This diagram represents part of the — A endocrine system B skeletal system C muscular system D nervous system

12. The Endocrine system is responsible for hormonal release Which of these statements describes one possible interaction between the endocrine and respiratory systems? F The heart is composed of muscle tissue. G Hormones can trigger asthma attacks. H The rib cage expands to move air into the lungs. J Blood cells can attack pathogens.

13. The Nervous system controls all skeletal muscle action Pelicans prevent serious wing damage by entering the water in the manner shown above. Which two organ systems in the pelican work together the most to accomplish this maneuver? A Circulatory and nervous systems B Nervous and muscular systems C Muscular and digestive systems D Digestive and circulatory systems

14. Circulatory System • Function: Carries nutrients & oxygenated blood from the lungs to all the body cells and removes waste with help from the protein, hemoglobin. • Includes: Heart, arteries, veins • Note:Arteries are red and carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Veinsare blue, and carry deoxygenated blood to the heart for re-oxygenation.

15. Lymphatic/Immune System • Function: Defends the body from disease. • Includes: Lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, lymphatic vessels and bone marrow.

16. Respiratory System • Function: Performs gas exchange: Takes oxygen from the air/lungs and delivers it to all body cells. Removes poisonous carbon dioxide from the body. • Includes: Nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx and lungs.

17. Responsible for carrying nutrients and oxygenated blood to body Which body system is directly responsible for delivering nutrients to cells throughout the body? A Circulatory system B Integumentary system C Endocrine system D Respiratory system

18. Hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen on red blood cells Hemoglobin carries oxygen to body cells. Which body system contains hemoglobin? A Circulatory system B Respiratory system C Endocrine system D Nervous system

19. Respiratory system is responsible for ridding the body of poisonous CO2. The medulla, part of the brain stem, reacts quickly to increased levels of CO2 in the blood and stimulates a response from the — A excretory system B immune system C respiratory system D integumentary system

20. Responsible for delivering nutrients to the rest of the body Nutrients from digested food move from the digestive system directly into the — A circulatory system B integumentary system C excretory system D endocrine system

21. Digestive System • Function: Breaks down food to a form the body can use. • Includes: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestine, liver and pancreas. • Note: There are 2 types of digestion: 1. Mechanicaldigestion (chewing) and 2.Chemical digestion (stomach acid breaking down food).

22. Breaks down food to a form the body can use Which system is responsible for producing enzymes that aid in breaking down substances to be absorbed for the body’s growth and repair? F Digestive system G Reproductive system H Respiratory system J Skeletal system

23. Pancreas is part of the endocrine and digestive systems Some organs of the gastrointestinal tract — A fit in more than one organ system B perform only one function at a time C supply the body with platelets D produce soluble vitamins

24. Blood carries nutrients and oxygen that are delivered to the body The small intestine is to nutrient absorption as the blood is to nutrient — A assimilation B distribution C regulation D elimination

25. Blood carries the nutrients absorbed from the digestive system How is the circulatory system related to the digestive system? F The brain stem controls the heart rate. G Blood carries nutrients to body cells. H Stomach muscles contract and expand. J The pharynx is a passageway for air and food.

26. Urinary/Excretory System • Function: Removes nitrogenous waste from the body in the form of urine. • Includes: kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.

27. Reproductive System • Function: Produces offspring • Includes: *Female - ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus and vagina. *Male - penis, scrotum, testes, vas deferens, prostate and urethra. VIDEOS\REPRODUCTIVE\Ovaries and Testes Endocrine Glands and Sexual Maturity.asf

28. Some waste in blood is collected by kidneys and then moved to exit the body A portion of the human excretory system is represented in the diagram. The order in which urine flows through the system is — F urethra  bladder  ureter  kidney G ureter  kidney  bladder urethra H kidney ureter bladder urethra J bladder urethra kidney ureter

29. These structures are for protection The diagram illustrates the parts of this flower. Which of these parts are not directly involved in sexual reproduction? A Stigma and style B Sepal and pedicel C Anther and filament D Receptacle and ovary

30. The body wants to keep as many fluids as possible until body fluids are equalized How is the excretory system most likely to respond when an animal is thirsty? F By relaxing the smooth muscles G By retaining body fluids H By absorbing heat from lymph glands J By releasing hormones
