Q

Match the systems and the description explaining how they contribute during exercise

Systems: Blood, Renal, CNS, Integumentary, Musculo-skeletal, Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Endocrine, Alimentary

Supports circulation control and regulates metabolism.

Provides 02 and removes C02.

Provides movement under CNS control.

Pumps the blood through the circulation.

Water and nutrient intake.

Involved in heat loss from the body.

Controls Musculo-skeletal system, circulation and body temperature.

Conserves water; contributes to maintenance of body pH.

Carries gases, nutrients and waste products.

A

Endocrine: Supports circulation control and regulates metabolism.

Respiratory: Provides 02 and removes C02.

Musculo-skeletal: Provides movement under CNS control.

CV: Pumps the blood through the circulation.

Alimentary: Water and nutrient intake.

Integumentary: Involved in heat loss from the body.

CNS: Controls Musculo-skeletal system, circulation and body temperature.

Renal: Conserves water; contributes to maintenance of body pH.

Blood: Carries gases, nutrients and waste products.
