- A.
Muscular System
- B.
Nervous
- C.
Skeletal
- D.
Integumentary
Correct Answer
A. Muscular SystemExplanation
The correct answer is Muscular System. The muscular system is responsible for movement in the body, including the movement of the body itself and bodily fluids. It consists of three types of muscles: skeletal muscles and tendons, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles and tendons allow for voluntary movement and are attached to bones. Smooth muscles are found in the walls of organs and blood vessels, and they help with involuntary movements. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood. Therefore, the muscular system is the correct answer as it encompasses all these types of muscles and their functions.Rate this question:

To deliver "goods" and to take wastes from all the cells of the body. -Heart,-Blood Vessels(two circuits) -Blood
- A.
Respiratory
- B.
Lymphatic
- C.
Cardiovascular
- D.
Nervous
Correct Answer
C. CardiovascularExplanation
The cardiovascular system is responsible for delivering "goods" (such as oxygen and nutrients) to all the cells of the body and removing waste products. It consists of the heart, blood vessels (which include two circuits - systemic and pulmonary), and blood. The respiratory system is involved in gas exchange, the lymphatic system is responsible for immune function and fluid balance, and the nervous system controls and coordinates bodily functions. Therefore, the cardiovascular system is the correct answer as it specifically addresses the transportation of goods and waste throughout the body.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. RespiratoryExplanation
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gases, specifically oxygen and carbon dioxide, in the body. It includes the lungs, airways, and the process of breathing, known as ventilation. The other options, lymphatic, cardiovascular, and urinary, are not directly involved in the exchange of gases.Rate this question:

- D.
Respiartory
Correct Answer
B. LymphaticExplanation
The lymphatic system is responsible for returning fluid and defending the internal body from foreign bodies. It consists of lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, and lymphatic organs such as the spleen and thymus. Lymphatic vessels collect excess fluid from tissues and transport it back to the bloodstream, helping to maintain fluid balance in the body. The lymph nodes filter the lymph fluid, removing bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances. Additionally, the lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immune response by producing and storing white blood cells called lymphocytes.Rate this question:

Collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate your body's growth, metabolism and sexual development and function.
- A.
Endocrine
- B.
Nervous
- C.
Skeletal
- D.
Muscular
Correct Answer
A. EndocrineExplanation
The endocrine system is a collection of glands that produce hormones to regulate various processes in the body, including growth, metabolism, and sexual development and function. These glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, which then travel to target cells and organs to exert their effects. Unlike the nervous system, which uses electrical signals to transmit information, the endocrine system relies on chemical messengers (hormones) to communicate and coordinate different bodily functions. The skeletal and muscular systems are responsible for supporting and enabling movement, respectively, and are not directly involved in hormone production or regulation.Rate this question:
