Explain how the structure of the heart supports its function in the circulatory system.

• The heart has a single chamber that pumps blood directly to the body.

• The heart has four chambers that separate oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, allowing efficient circulation.

• The heart is a solid muscle that stores blood.

• The heart has valves that prevent blood from entering the lungs.

Describe the role of hemoglobin in the human body.

• Hemoglobin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.

• Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

• Hemoglobin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach.

• Hemoglobin is a lipid that stores energy.

How does the endocrine system interact with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis?

• The endocrine system releases hormones that are directly controlled by the nervous system to regulate body functions.

• The endocrine system and nervous system operate independently without interaction.

• The nervous system produces hormones that are distributed by the endocrine system.

• The endocrine system uses electrical signals to communicate with the nervous system.

Compare and contrast the roles of the small intestine and large intestine in the digestive system.

• Both the small and large intestines absorb nutrients, but the small intestine also absorbs water.

• The small intestine absorbs nutrients, while the large intestine absorbs water and forms feces.

• The large intestine absorbs nutrients, while the small intestine absorbs water and forms feces.

• Both the small and large intestines are primarily involved in the breakdown of proteins.

Explain the process by which the nervous system transmits signals from the brain to the muscles.

• The nervous system uses chemical signals to transmit messages directly through the bloodstream.

• The nervous system uses electrical impulses to transmit signals through neurons to the muscles.

• The nervous system uses magnetic fields to guide signals from the brain to the muscles.

• The nervous system uses sound waves to communicate with muscles.

Plan a strategy to investigate the effects of exercise on heart rate and circulatory efficiency.

• Measure heart rate before and after exercise without considering any variables.

• Develop a controlled experiment where participants perform different types of exercise, measuring heart rate and recovery time to assess circulatory efficiency.

• Record heart rate once during exercise and compare it to a standard value.

• Ask participants how they feel after exercising and use their responses as data.
