Answer 1

1. Related organ for each of the following special senses :-

Vision - Eye

Hearing - Ear

Smell - Nose

Taste - Tongue

Equilibrium - Ear

2. The organ that processes the information collected by the special senses is Brain .

3. The interrelationship between major components of the body systems and other structures :-

1) Chemical Level-Atoms combine to form molecules

2) Cellular level-Cells are made up of molecules

3)Tissue level-Tissues consist of similar types of cells

4)Organ level-Organs are made up of different types of tissues

5)Organ system level-Organ systems consist of different organs that work together closely

6) Organismal level-The human organism is made up of many organ systems.

11 organ systems of the body.,their components and major functions :-

1. Integumentary system: The organ system that provides a barrier between the body's internal organs and the outside environment.

2. Skeletal system: Protects and supports body organs, and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement. blood cells are formed within bones. Bones store minerals.

3. Muscular system: Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression. Maintains posture, and produces heat.

4. Nervous System: As the fast-acting control system of the body, it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands

5. Endocrine system: Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.

6. Cardiovascular system: blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, waste, etc. The heart pumps the blood

7. Lymphatic system/immunity: The organ system that regulates fluids in the body and defends the body against disease

8. Respiratory system: Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. The gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs.

9. Digestive system: Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells. Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces.

10. Urinary system: Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood.

11. Reproductive system: system of organs involved in producing offspring

4. When participating in passive physical activity, the parts of the body which are working are :-

- Head: part of the body that's on top of your neck

Ears: on each side of the head and used for hearing.

Neck: connects the head to the body.

Shoulder: connects the to arm and to the base of the neck

Navel: The little hole in in the center of a person's belly

Waist: Part of the body just above hips.

Elbow: is between the forearm and the upper arm

Forearm: Is between the wrist and elbow.
