The lungs, nose, and trachea are part of which organ system? Digestive Respiratory Muscular Circulatory Correct Wrong The respiratory system contains muscles, vessels, and organs that are designed to enable us to breathe. This system also assists in vocalization and our sense of smell. 2. The kidneys and urethra are part of which organ system? Computer artwork of two sectioned human kidneys.. PASIEKA/Science Photo Library/Getty Images Skeletal Digestive Urinary Reproductive Correct Wrong The kidneys and urethra are part of the urinary system. Urine is formed in the kidneys and excreted from the body through the urethra. 3. Which of the following is not part of the integumentary system? Nails Hair Skin Teeth Correct Wrong The integumentary system is composed of skin and its accessory components including hair, nails, sweat glands, and oil glands. Teeth are a component of the digestive system. 4. Which system supports and protects the body while giving it shape and form? Rear view shot of the highlighted joints in a runner's foot.. PeopleImages.com/DigitalVision/Getty Images Skeletal Reproductive Circulatory Nervous Correct Wrong The skeletal system is composed of bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. These connective tissues support and shape the body, while also allowing the body to be mobile. 5. The pituitary gland, pineal gland, and thyroid gland are part of which system? Nervous Endocrine Urinary Lymphatic Correct Wrong The pituitary gland, pineal gland, and thyroid gland are part of the endocrine system. This system regulates vital body processes through the secretion of hormones. 6. Which of the following is a digestive system organ? The digestive system processes the foods we eat to provide nutrients for the body.. Image Source/Getty Images Kidney Thymus Liver Lung Correct Wrong The liver is an organ of the digestive system and the largest gland in the body. In addition to performing many functions including fat metabolism, nutrient storage, and detoxification, the liver produces hormones involved in growth and platelet production. 7. Which system helps to protect the body by producing immune cells? Lymphatic Cardiovascular Digestive Respiratory Correct Wrong The lymphatic system helps to protect the body by producing and circulating lymphocytes. These white blood cells defend the body against cancerous cells, pathogens, and foreign matter. 8. Which system removes gaseous waste (carbon dioxide) from the blood? Stylized view of alveolar sacs from within the respiratory system.. Science Picture Co/Subjects/Getty Images Digestive Immune Respiratory Nervous Correct Wrong The respiratory system enables us to breathe. In this process, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen in the lung alveoli. Carbon dioxide is expelled from the body and oxygen is delivered to cells and tissues through blood circulation. 9. Most of the nutrient absorption that takes place during digestion occurs in the ____ . Liver Large Intestines Stomach Small Intestines Correct Wrong Most of the nutrient absorption that takes place during digestion occurs in the small intestines. Food in the small intestines is mixed with digestive juices from the pancreas and liver, which break down and release the stored nutrients. The nutrients are absorbed into the blood where they can be circulated throughout the body. 10. This system contains the largest organ of the body. Epidermis (skin surface). This is a colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of the skin of a 6-year-old. The outermost surface of the epidermis is composed of dead and dying skin cells from the underlying epidermis, which help to protect the delicate epidermal cells from the external environment..
