b. His hand is highly receptive to changes in temperature.
c. The message travels fast to his hand
d. The message to and from the brain moves fast through the nerves.
_____10. Which of the following scenarios would most likely result in the efficient functioning of the nervous system?
a. A person who regularly consumes a high amount of alcohol, sleeps less, and has a high-stress job.
b. A person who exercises regularly, eats a balanced diet, manages stress, and gets adequate sleep.
c. A person who never exercises, consumes a diet low in essential nutrients, and frequently experiences
high stress.
d A person who sleeps adequately but consumes a high amount of caffeine, rarely exercises, and has a
high-stress job.
_____11. How digestive system do work with circulatory system?
a. Digestive system provides oxygen to the circulatory system and circulatory system provides nutrients to
the digestive system.
b. Digestive system provides support to the circulatory system and circulatory system pumps blood to the
digestive system.
c. Digestive system digests food into simpler form which will be needed by the circulatory system and the
circulatory system distributes nutrients to the body parts.
d. Digestive system excretes waste product produced by the circulatory system and the circulatory system
interprets message coming from the digestive system.
_____12. How respiratory system do work with circulatory system?
a. Respiratory system provides nutrients to the circulatory system, thus circulatory system provides oxygen
to the respiratory system
b. Respiratory system serves as pathway of blood carrying nutrients to the circulatory system, thus
circulatory system pumps blood to the respiratory system.
c. Respiratory system provides oxygen to the circulator system, thus circulatory system carry blood with
nutrients needed by the respiratory system.
d. Respiratory system carries carbon-dioxide to the circulatory system, thus circulatory system provide
oxygen needed by the respiratory system.
_____13. How does the nervous system work with the integumentary system?
a. The nervous system provides oxygen to the integumentary system, and the integumentary system
provides nutrients to the nervous system.
b. The nervous system sends signals to the integumentary system to regulate body temperature, and the
integumentary system sends sensory information back to the nervous system.
c. The nervous system digests nutrients for the integumentary system, and the integumentary system
filters waste products for the nervous system.
d. The nervous system pumps blood to the integumentary system, and the integumentary system provides
white blood cells for the nervous system.
_____14. Which of the following best evaluates the importance of the skeletal system's interactions with other
body systems?
a. The skeletal system's primary role is to provide a framework for the body, and its interactions with other
systems are minimal and not crucial for survival.
b. The skeletal system's interaction with the muscular system is the most important as it enables
movement, while its interactions with other systems are less significant.
c. The skeletal system plays a vital role in interacting with various systems such as the muscular system for
movement, the circulatory system for the production of blood cells, and the nervous system for protection
of vital organs, making all interactions equally important.
