Q

How do the Integumentary and Excretory systems work together?

A

16
Q

How do the integumentary system and circulatory system work together?

A

The circulatory system works with the integumentary to allow certain substances to enter the bloodstream through capillaries in your skin

17
Q

How did the integumentary system and nervous system work together?

A

The nervous system depends on the integumentary system since your skin controls your sense of touch

18
Q

How does the excretory and respiratory systems work together?

A

They both work together to get rid of carbon dioxide and water vapor in the lungs

19
Q

How does the excretory and digestive system work together?

A

They both work together to Process nutrients and get rid of waste

20
Q

How do you the excretory and circulatory system work together?

A

The excretory removes the waste from the blood

21
Q

How do the excretory and nervous systems work together?

A

The excretory system helps the nervous system by getting rid of the waste from the nervous system send signals

22
Q

How do the respiratory and digestive systems work together?

A

The respiratory delivers adequate oxygen to the blood to allow the digestive system to break down food and use muscular contractions to move the food through the digestive tract

23
Q

How do the respiratory and circulatory systems work together?

A

The respiratory system brings oxygen int the body, which the circulatory system then delivers to various parts of the body. The circulatory system collects carbon dioxide and other wastes, bringing it back to the lungs which then rid the body of the wastes.

24
Q

How do the respiratory and nervous systems work together?

A

The respiratory system supplies oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide in the brain

25
Q

How do the digestive and nervous system’s work together?

A

Autonomic nervous system controls the tone of the digestive track the brain controls drinking and feeding behavior and also controls muscles for eating in elimination

26
Q

How do the circulatory and nervous system’s Work together?

A

The circulatory system provides your brain with a constant supply of oxygen rich blood while your brain regulates your heart rate and blood pressure
