Question

Match each organ or function with its body system.

1.Produces urine
2.Ureters
3.Filters blood
4.Absorbs nutrients from food
Excretory-
Digestive-

A) Excretory - 1, Digestive - 6.
B) Excretory - 3, Digestive - 5.
C) Excretory - 5, Digestive - 6.
D) Excretory - 1, Digestive - 3.

Answer 1

The excretory system includes functions 1 (produces urine), 2 (ureters), and 3 (filters blood) while the digestive system includes function 4 (absorbs nutrients from food). None of the provided options A, B, C, or D fully capture the correct match between the organs/functions and their respective body systems.

Step-by-step explanation:

The human body has various organ systems that perform specific functions. The excretory system is responsible for removing waste products and maintaining a balanced internal environment, whereas the digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.

With respect to the functions listed:

1. 
   
3. Produces urine - This is a function of the kidneys within the excretory system, which filter waste from the blood and produce urine.
4. 
   
6. Ureters - These are part of the urinary system which is a subset of the excretory system, tasked with carrying urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
7. 
   
9. Filters blood - This refers to the kidneys again, more specifically to the action of the nephrons within the kidneys as part of the excretory system.
10. 
    
12. Absorbs nutrients from food - This is a key function of the small intestine within the digestive system.

Therefore, the correct matching would be that the excretory system includes the organs and functions 1, 2, and 3, while the digestive system includes function 4. It is important to note that both systems are interconnected and work collaboratively to maintain the body's homeostasis.

Answer 2

The correct matches are:

1. Produces urine - Excretory

2. Ureters - Excretory

3. Filters blood - Excretory

4. Absorbs nutrients from food - Digestive

Let's match each organ or function with its respective body system step by step:

1. Produces urine - This function is performed by the kidneys, which are part of the excretory system. So, Excretory - 1.

2. Ureters - Ureters are the tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder. They are also part of the excretory system. So, Excretory - 2.

3. Filters blood - This function is performed by the kidneys, which filter waste products from the blood to form urine. So, Excretory - 3.

4. Absorbs nutrients from food - This function is performed by the small intestine in the digestive system. So, Digestive - 4.

Now, let's match them:

A) Excretory - 1, Digestive - 4. (This is not correct as the digestive system is not matched correctly.)

B) Excretory - 3, Digestive - 4. (This is not correct as the digestive system is not matched correctly.)

C) Excretory - 2, Digestive - 4. (This is not correct as the functions are not matched correctly.)

D) Excretory - 1, Digestive - 4. (This is not correct as the functions are not matched correctly.)
