Identify each of the following anatomical structures.
The correct sequence of levels forming the body’s structural hierarchy is (a) organ, organ system, cellular, chemical, tissue; (b) chemical, tissue, cellular, organismal, organ, organ system; (c) chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal; (d) organismal, organ system, organ, chemical, cellular, tissue.
Identify the organ system by its function as described below. 1. Maintains blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels 2. Controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses; helps control homeostasis 3. Causes movement of bones 4. Waterproof barrier that blocks the entrance of pathogens into the body and prevents the loss of water from the body 5. Transports nutrients, oxygen, and carbon dioxide throughout the body 6. Changes food into absorbable nutrients; expels wastes 7. Regulates composition of blood by eliminating nitrogenous wastes, excess water, and minerals 8. Uses hormones to control cell function; helps control homeostasis 9. Provides framework for the body and protects body organs 10. Produces gametes (sperm and egg) 11. Returns fluid to the bloodstream and provides protection against pathogens that have entered the body
