The skeletal system
also stores minerals and lipids and forms blood cells. Bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments are all organs of the skeletal system.
Which tissue stores minerals and lipids and produces blood cells?
The major functions of
the skeletal system
are body support, facilitation of movement, protection of internal organs, storage of minerals and fat, and blood cell formation.
Which organ system carries lipids from the gastrointestinal tract to blood a?
| integumentary system A) supports and protects the body | muscular system F) transports oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide | nervous system G) returns proteins and fluid to blood, carries lipids from the gastrointestinal tract to blood, and protects against disease- causing organisms |

Which system houses cells that produce blood cells?
| System Organs in the System | Musculoskeletal Muscles Tendons and ligaments Bones Joints | Blood Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets Plasma (the liquid part of blood) Bone marrow (where blood cells are produced) Spleen Thymus |

Which system brings oxygen into the blood and removes carbon dioxide waste from the blood?
Your respiratory system
is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood.
Which organ system controls or regulates body activities by releasing hormones?
The endocrine system
, made up of all the body's different hormones, regulates all biological processes in the body from conception through adulthood and into old age, including the development of the brain and nervous system, the growth and function of the reproductive system, as well as the metabolism and blood sugar …
Which human body system is responsible for producing red blood cells?
In the human adult,
the bone marrow
produces all of the red blood cells, 60–70 percent of the white cells (i.e., the granulocytes), and all of the platelets. The lymphatic tissues, particularly the thymus, the spleen, and the lymph nodes, produce the lymphocytes (comprising 20–30 percent of the white cells).
How many systems are found making up the human body?
Ten
major systems include the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and the reproductive system.
What are the two types of bone marrow and their functions?
Bone marrow is found in the bones throughout your body. There are two types of bone marrow. Red bone marrow is involved in production of blood cells,
while yellow marrow is important for fat storage
. As you age, yellow bone marrow replaces red bone marrow.
Which type of marrow is involved in the storage and release of minerals and fats?
The red marrow
is responsible for forming red and white blood cells. It stores and releases minerals and fat.
What system regulates body activities?
Humans have two types of communication systems. These are the nervous system and
the endocrine (hormone) system
. These systems regulate body processes through chemical and electrical signals that pass between cells.
What organ system is the stomach in?
The organs of
the digestive system
are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Recognizing how these organs work together to digest food is key to understanding how digestion works. The digestive process begins in the mouth.
What organ system are responsible for the movement of the body?
The muscular system
is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
Does the heart clean your blood?
The heart pumps blood filled with oxygen through all parts of your body, including
the kidneys
. The kidneys clean the blood, removing waste products and extra water.
What organ removes waste from blood?
Your kidneys
remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. Your kidneys also remove acid that is produced by the cells of your body and maintain a healthy balance of water, salts, and minerals—such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium—in your blood.
What is the only vein in the body that carries oxygen-rich blood?
The
pulmonary veins
bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body from the left ventricle.
