Question 7

What system of the human body that has the functions of the ff:

• Generates action potentials (nerve impulses) to regulate body activities
• Detects changes in the body’s internal and external environments, interprets the changes, and responds by causing muscular contractions or glandular secretions.

Answer 7

Nervous System

Question 8

What are the Components of the Nervous System?

Answer 8

Brain, spinal cord, nerves, and special sense organs, such as the eyes and ears.

Question 9

What system of the human body that has the functions of the ff:

Answer 9

Endocrine System

Question 10

What are the Components of the Endocrine System?

Answer 10

Hormone-producing glands (pineal gland, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thymus, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes) and hormone-producing cells in several other organs.

Question 11

What system of the human body that has the functions of the ff:

• Heart pumps blood through blood vessels.
• Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells
and carbon dioxide and wastes away from cells and helps regulate acid–base balance, temperature, and water content of body
fluids.
• Blood components help defend against
disease and repair damaged blood vessels.

Answer 11

Cardiovascular System

Question 12

• Absorbs nutrients
• Eliminates solid wastes.

Answer 13

Digestive System

Question 14

What are the Components of the Digestive System?

Answer 14

Organs of gastrointestinal tract, a long tube that includes the mouth, pharynx (throat), esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and anus; also includes accessory organs that assist in digestive processes, such as the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

Question 15

What system of the human body that has the functions of the ff:

• Produces, stores, and eliminates urine.
• Eliminates wastes and regulates volume
and chemical composition of blood.
• Helps maintain the acid–base balance
of body fluids.
• Maintains body’s mineral balance.
• Helps regulate production of red blood cells.

Answer 15

Urinary System

Question 16

What are the Components of the Urinary System?

Answer 16

Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.

Question 17

What system of the human body that has the functions of the ff:

• Returns proteins and fluid to blood.
• Carries lipids from gastrointestinal tract to blood.
• Includes structures where lymphocytes that protect against disease-causing microbes mature and proliferate.

Answer 17

Lymphatic System

Question 18

What are the Components of the Lymphatic System?

Answer 18

Lymphatic fluid (lymph) and vessels; also includes spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and tonsils.

Question 19

What system of the human body that has the functions of the ff:

• Gonads produce gametes (sperm or oocytes) that unite to form a new organism.
• Gonads also release hormones that regulate reproduction and other body processes.
• Associated organs transport and store gametes.

Answer 19

Reproductive System

Question 20

What are the Components of the Reproductive System?

Answer 20

Gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females) and associated organs (uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina in females and epididymis, ductus deferens, and penis in males).

Question 21

What system of the human body that has the functions of the ff:

• Transfers oxygen from inhaled air
to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to exhaled air.
• Help regulate acid–base balance of
body fluids.
• Air flowing out of lungs through vocal cords produces sounds.
