Answer 10

The nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs.

Question 11

Answer 11

The ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, clitoris and vulva.

Question 12

What makes up the male reproductive system?

Answer 12

The scrotum, testes, epididymides, ductus deferentia, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, penis and urethra.

Question 13

How does the nervous system work?

Answer 13

It acts through electrical signals

Question 14

What is the purpose of the nervous system?

Answer 14

It controls rapid responses of the body. It is also responsible for higher function, consciousness, memory and creativity.

Question 15

What is the purpose of the endocrine system?

Answer 15

Secretes hormones into the blood, which controls metabolic activities, water and ionic balance, and other processes that require duration rather than speed.

Question 16

What is the purpose of the immune system?

Answer 16

Defends against foreign bodies and cancer cells. Paves way for tissue repair.

Question 17

What is the purpose of the integumentary system?

Answer 17

Serves as a protective barrier between external environments and the remainder of the body, sweat glands and adjustments in blood flow to skin are in Portland in temperature regulation.

Question 18

What is the purpose of the muscular and skeletal systems?

Answer 18

Supports and protects body parts and allows body movement. Calcium is stored in bones and heat generating muscles important in temperature control.

Question 19

What is the purpose of the respiratory system?

Answer 19

Obtains O2 from and eliminates CO2 to external environment. Helps regulate pH by adjusting the rate of removal of acid-forming CO2.

Question 20

What is the purpose of the Urinary System?

Answer 20

Removes wastes and excess water, salt and other ions from plasma and eliminates them in the urine, important in regulating the volume, ionic composition and pH of the internal to external environment.

Question 21

What is the purpose of the Reproductive System?

Answer 21

Not essential for homeostasis. But required for continuation of the species.
