A game-based printable review for mastering the human body
| # | Answer | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Musculoskeletal system | The musculoskeletal system includes bones and muscles and helps the body move and support itself. |
| 2 | Respiratory system | The respiratory system takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. |
| 3 | Heart | The heart pumps blood through the body. |
| 4 | True | The stomach helps break down food, so it belongs to the digestive system. |
| 5 | cell | Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. |
| 6 | Nervous system | The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. |
| 7 | Urinary (excretory) system | Kidneys filter wastes from the blood and make urine. |
| 8 | Nose | The nose is part of the respiratory pathway and helps air enter the body. |
| 9 | B) integumentary system | The integumentary system includes skin, hair, and nails. |
| 10 | To carry oxygen | Red blood cells transport oxygen to body cells. |
| 11 | nervous | These structures make up the nervous system. |
| 12 | Digestive system | The digestive system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients. |
| 13 | Integumentary system | Skin acts as a protective barrier against germs and injury. |
| 14 | False | The lungs belong to the respiratory system. |
| 15 | Respiratory and circulatory systems | The respiratory system brings in oxygen, and the circulatory system carries it in the blood. |
| 16 | Brain | The brain is the body’s control center. |
| 17 | arteries | Arteries carry blood away from the heart. |
| 18 | Urinary system | The urinary system removes wastes and excess water through urine. |
| 19 | Respiratory system | Breathing increases so more oxygen can enter the body. |
| 20 | Tendons | Tendons attach muscles to bones. |
| 21 | Mouth, stomach, small intestine | Food is broken down in the mouth, processed in the stomach, and nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine. |
| 22 | Kidneys | Kidneys clean the blood and help maintain fluid balance. |
| 23 | Circulatory system | The circulatory system moves blood through the body. |
| 24 | False | Nerves send signals that help muscles contract and move. |
| 25 | infection | A fever can happen when the immune system responds to germs. |
| 26 | Gallbladder | The gallbladder stores bile before it is used in digestion. |
| 27 | Immune system | White blood cells are key parts of the immune response. |
| 28 | Diaphragm | The diaphragm contracts to help air move into the lungs. |
| 29 | spinal cord | The spinal cord is the main pathway for signals between the brain and body. |
| 30 | Musculoskeletal system | Muscles pull on bones to create movement. |
| 31 | To deliver more oxygen and remove carbon dioxide faster | Exercise increases the body’s need for oxygen and waste removal. |
| 32 | Heart | The heart pumps blood throughout the body. |
| 33 | Stop bleeding and protect the wound | A scab helps protect the area while healing happens. |
| 34 | Digestive and circulatory systems | The digestive system breaks food down, and the circulatory system carries nutrients to cells. |
| 35 | True | Most absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. |
| 36 | White blood cell | White blood cells defend the body against germs. |
| 37 | Urinary system | The urinary system helps regulate water levels by adjusting urine output. |
| 38 | To carry air to the lungs | The trachea is the airway that leads to the lungs. |
| 39 | Endocrine system | Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas and used in blood sugar control. |
| 40 | organ system | Organs that work together form an organ system. |
| 41 | Nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems | The eyes and brain process information, and muscles and bones create the movement. |
| 42 | It keeps internal conditions stable | Homeostasis helps the body stay balanced, such as keeping temperature and water levels controlled. |
| 43 | Cerebellum | The cerebellum helps coordinate movement and balance. |
| 44 | A) More waste builds up in the blood | Kidneys remove wastes, so kidney problems can cause wastes to build up. |
| 45 | Gas exchange | Alveoli let oxygen enter the blood and carbon dioxide leave it. |
| 46 | Homeostasis | Thirst helps the body maintain water balance. |
| 47 | To allow exchange of gases, nutrients, and wastes | Thin walls make it easy for materials to move between blood and body cells. |
| 48 | Liver | The liver makes bile, which helps digest fats. |
| 49 | It delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes wastes | Blood carries materials that cells need and helps remove carbon dioxide and other wastes. |
| 50 | Sample answer: Muscular system, because nerves tell muscles when to contract and move. | Many systems work with the nervous system; the key idea is that nerves send signals that control body actions. |
