- Q 1/18Score 0The picture shows bean-shaped glands called nodes. The clusters of cells in nodes include macrophages that break down viruses and other potentially harmful materials. Nodes also contain cells that produce protein particles capable of capturing harmful materials that flow in tissue fluid through the nodes. Different parts of the body are drained by nodes in different regions of the body. Which body systems are directly responsible for regulating these nodes and protecting the body from harmful materials in tissue fluid?29Endocrine and digestive systemsCirculatory and nervous systemsImmune and lymphatic systemsDigestive and nervous systems

- Q1The picture shows bean-shaped glands called nodes. The clusters of cells in nodes include macrophages that break down viruses and other potentially harmful materials. Nodes also contain cells that produce protein particles capable of capturing harmful materials that flow in tissue fluid through the nodes. Different parts of the body are drained by nodes in different regions of the body. Which body systems are directly responsible for regulating these nodes and protecting the body from harmful materials in tissue fluid?Endocrine and digestive systemsCirculatory and nervous systemsImmune and lymphatic systemsDigestive and nervous systems30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q2Which of the following is an example of the endocrine system directly interacting with the nervous system?Hormones provide feedback that affects neural processingThe vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injurySensory receptors in bones send signals about body position to the brainThe brain sends signals that control the speed at which food moves through the intestines30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q3A student studying interactions between body systems constructs this table. The student plans to fill out the table with phrases that describe an interaction between each pair of systems. Which of these phrases could be placed in the position marked with an X?Provides nutrients to nerve cellsProvides nutrients to kidney cellsProvides nutrients to brain cellsProvides nutrients to muscle cells30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q4During the final stages of human gestation, receptors for the hormone oxytocin increase on the smooth muscle cells of the uterus. The release of oxytocin during labor stimulates the smooth muscle tissue in the wall of the uterus. The vigorous contraction of the uterine smooth muscle helps push the baby through the birth canal so that delivery can occur. This process involves the interaction of which organ systems?Endocrine and reproductive onlyEndocrine and muscular onlyEndocrine, muscular, and reproductiveEndocrine, reproductive, and excretory30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q5Scientists studying illnesses caused by chemically contaminated food conduct research to minimize the effects of these diseases on society. These chemicals harm the body through interactions between the digestive system and the immune system. Scientists conducting this research are likely to describe which of these interactions between the digestive and immune systems?Chemicals enter the immune system through a break in the skin. The chemical contamination is then passed to the digestive system by the circulatory systemWhen contaminated foods are eaten, the immune system prevents the chemicals from entering the digestive systemThe immune system transforms the chemicals in the contaminated foods into harmless chemicals. These harmless chemicals are then broken down by the digestive systemChemicals enter the digestive system through contaminated foods. Once in the body, the chemical contaminants impair the body’s ability to fight off infectious diseases30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q6Kidneys are part of the excretory system in a human body. They purify the impure blood and send it back to the rest of the body. Which system is mainly responsible for the transport of plasma to the kidneys?Circulatory systemRespiratory systemNervous systemMuscular system30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q7An informational pamphlet in a health clinic describes an interaction between body systems. Which statement identifies the body systems that are directly involved in the interaction described and explains how they accomplish the interaction?The nervous system produces hormones that stimulate the ovum, and the circulatory system moves the ovum into the uterine tubeThe reproductive system produces the ovum, and the muscular system causes the migration of the ovum by peristaltic contractionsThe circulatory system supplies the uterine wall with oxygenated blood, and the immune system prevents damage to the ovumThe excretory system expels the ovum from the ovary, and the nervous system causes the contractions of the smooth tissues of the uterine wall30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q8Coracias garrulus is a blue bird with an orange-brown back. The offspring of this bird have an effective defense mechanism. The young birds vomit and cover themselves in a foul-smelling orange liquid when they sense a threat by predators. Which two systems alert the young bird to the danger and help produce the vomit it uses as a defense?Nervous and digestive systemsExcretory and reproductive systemsImmune and respiratory systemsIntegumentary and muscular systems30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q9Animal body systems often coordinate their actions to carry out specific functions for the whole animal. Which of these correctly describes the interaction of two biological systems for a specific purpose in the human body?45sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q10What two human systems work together to provide body cells with a constant supply of oxygen while removing carbon dioxide waste products?Respiratory and circulatoryExcretory and integumentaryNervous and endocrineMuscular and skeletal30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q11When a person is suddenly cut by a sharp object, a nervous impulse is sent along a sensory neuron to the spinal cord. The impulse is immediately transmitted through motor neurons to produce a response. Which of the following correctly identifies and describes this response?It is a conditioned response that occurs only to prevent injuryIt is a learned response that does not occur in infants and small childrenIt is a voluntary response that is initiated only after the impulse has been carried to the relevant area in the brainIt is a reflex response that causes various muscles to contract in order to move away from the object30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q12Toxoplasmosis is an infection producing brain lesions caused by the parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. Mice with their gonads removed are more resistant to T. gondii and develop very few lesions on their brain tissue. The graph shows the results of a scientific study of normal adult mice infected with T. gondii. Which systems most likely interact and cause the severity of infections to vary?Nervous and integumentaryExcretory and respiratoryImmune and endocrineMuscular and skeletal30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q13Health-care workers are exposed to many different types of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms. Which body systems work together to protect the body from pathogens?Muscular and vascularDigestive and excretoryCirculatory and immuneEndocrine and reproductive30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q14Which of the following correctly describes an interaction that occurs between two body systems of a rabbit that helps the rabbit outrun a pursuing coyote?The endocrine system releases hormones that prepare the immune system to deal with possible injuriesThe digestive system increases the rate of digestion, and the excretory system ceases to provide tissues with more nutrientsThe respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygenThe skeletal system releases additional calcium, and the circulatory system retains more sodium in the blood to provide muscles with ions for contraction30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
- Q15The human digestive system is approximately 900 cm long. Food is moved through the digestive tract primarily by —bile produced by the pancreashydrochloric acid in the stomachmuscular contractionsthe enzymes amylase and pepsin30sB.10.A: Animal Systems
