Anatomy & Physiology Part 7: Final Comprehensive Review
An integrative quiz testing your knowledge across all major organ systems.
📖 Core Concepts Review: System Integration
| Function | Primary Systems Involved | How They Connect |
|---|---|---|
| 🏃 Responding to a Threat | Nervous, Endocrine, Circulatory, Respiratory, Musculoskeletal | Nervous system perceives a threat, triggering the Endocrine system (adrenal gland) to release epinephrine. This hormone uses the Circulatory system to increase heart rate, dilate bronchioles (Respiratory), and deliver more oxygenated blood to the Muscles, preparing them for action. |
| 🍽️ Processing a Meal | Digestive, Endocrine, Circulatory | The Digestive system breaks down food into glucose. The Endocrine system (pancreas) releases insulin. Insulin travels via the Circulatory system to body cells, signaling them to absorb the glucose. |
| 💧 Maintaining Blood Pressure | Excretory, Endocrine, Circulatory, Nervous | The Excretory system (kidneys) regulates blood volume. The Endocrine system (ADH, Aldosterone) directs the kidneys. The Nervous system can directly influence the Circulatory system (vessel constriction/dilation). |
