TAKS 2.10A Functions of Body Systems

Match the body systems to their functions!


AB
Circulatory systemtransports oxygen and nutrients to cells and carries wastes away from cells.
Respiratory systemMoves oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body.
Digestive systemBreaks down food and absorbs nutrients using a variety of enzymes.
Nervous systemDetects changes outside and inside your body and controls the way your body responds to these changes!
Skeletal systemHelps you move, protects your internal organs, and gives your body shape and support. It also stores minerals and makes blood cells.
Muscular systemResponsible for voluntary movements (such as jumping and running) and involuntary movements (like your heart beating).
Endocrine systemProduces chemical messengers called hormones to control growth and maintain homeostasis.
Integumetary systemForms a protective barrier (skin) around the body. Helps prevent water loss and controls body temperature--and it contains sensors.
Immune systemProtects the body from infection by outside microbes.
Lymphatic systemTakes fluid from the spaces between cells and returns it to the circulatory system. It also filters bacteria and viruses from this fluid in nodes.
Reproductive systemProduces sperm in males, and eggs in females.
Excretory systemRemoves wastes from the body and helps maintain homeostasis by control blood volume and water.
