Question 6

Which two body systems contribute to acid- base balance of blood?&#10;A)nervous and urinary&#10;B)respiratory and endocrine&#10;C)cardiovascular and endocrine&#10;D)urinary and respiratory

Accepted Answer

The urinary and respiratory systems contribute to the acid-base balance of blood. The kidneys (part of the urinary system) regulate blood pH by excreting hydrogen ions and reabsorbing bicarbonate from urine. The respiratory system maintains pH balance by controlling the level of carbon dioxide in the blood, which influences the amount of bicarbonate, a base, in the blood.

Question 7

Question 8

The thyroid gland belongs to this organ system.&#10;A)lymphatic/immunity&#10;B)endocrine&#10;C)nervous&#10;D)respiratory

Accepted Answer

The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.

Question 9

Which of the following is an organ system?&#10;A)brain&#10;B)lungs&#10;C)heart&#10;D)urinary

Accepted Answer

The urinary system is an organ system consisting of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, which work together to remove waste products from the blood and regulate water and electrolyte balance. The other options (brain, lungs, heart) are individual organs, not systems.
