Cells and Organ Systems Review (IPP)


Match each organ system with the correct description of that system’s function.


   A. circulatory     _____ controls many functions in the body by releasing hormones

   B. endocrine       _____ controls activities through electrical impulses

   C. muscular        _____ supports soft tissues and protects organs

   D. skeletal        _____ responsible for voluntary and involuntary movements

   E. nervous         _____ carries oxygen-rich blood to cells


Match each body system with the correct set of organs and tissues.


   A. circulatory     _____ neurons, cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem

   B. endocrine       _____ bones, cartilage, ligaments

   C. muscular        _____ skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle

   D. skeletal        _____ pituitary, thyroid, adrenal gland, pancreas, adrenalin, insulin

   E. nervous         _____ blood, heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, cardiac muscle

     Match the word to the correct description:

A. adrenaline            ______ tissue that makes up the walls of many internal organs and
                                blood vessels
B. arteries              ______ gland which produces the hormone insulin as well as
                                digestive juices
C. bone marrow           ______ master gland which controls the output of hormones by
                                other glands
D. cardiac muscle        ______ band of tissue that connects muscle to bone
E. neurons               ______ blood vessels that carry blood to the heart
F. pancreas              ______ tissue that attaches to the skin and to bones, whose
                                voluntary contractions and expansions allow us to move
G. pituitary             ______ spongy tissue where blood cells and platelets are
                                produced
H. skeletal muscles      ______ hormone released when body is under stress, it increases
                                blood pressure, heart rate and blood flow to muscles
I.    smooth muscle      ______ liquid portion of the blood
      tendon             ______ tissue that makes up the walls of the heart
J. thyroid               ______ blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the body
K. veins                 ______ gland that controls the metabolism of the body
                                                        Name:__________________________
