| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This system breaks down food for the purpose of absorbing nutrients to provide energy for the body's cells. | digestive system |
| This system is responsible for regulating body temperature and protecting all other systems from the outside world. | integumentary system |
| This system controls actions and reactions of the body in response to stimuli. | nervous system |
| This system eliminates cellular wastes from in the body in the form of liquid. | urinary/excretory system |
| This system maintains homeostasis by using hormones. | endocrine system |
| This system supports and protects the body and allows it to move. | skeletal system |
| This systems moves your body and allows it to be flexible. | muscular system |
| This system provides the body with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide waste. | respiratory system |
| This system pumps blood throughout the body and assists in defending the body from disease. | circulatory system |
| This system produces sperms in males and eggs in females for the purpose of creating offspring. | reproductive system |
| Which two organ systems work together to move oxygenated blood through the blood vessels? | respiratory system and cardiovascular (circulatory) system |
| The pancreas and the salivary glands belong to which two body systems? | digestive system and endocrine system |
| Which two body systems work together to remove waste from blood? | circulatory system and excretory (urinary) system |
| The ovaries and testes belong to which two systems? | reproductive system and endocrine system |

| List the major organs in the muscular system. | muscle (smooth, cardiac, skeletal), tendon |
| List the major organs in the digestive system. | mouth (teeth, salivary glands, tongue), esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, anus |
| List the major organs in the nervous system. | brain, spinal cord, nerves |
| List the major organs in the endocrine system. | glands, hormones |
| List the major organs in the excretory system. | kidneys, urinary bladder |
| List the major organs in the reproductive system. | male: penis, testicles, sperm female: vagina, ovaries, uterus, egg |
