Question

Animal body systems often coordinate their

actions to carry out specific functions for the
whole animal. Which of these correctly
describes the interaction of two biological
systems for a specific purpose in the human
body?

Answer 1

Answer: The circulatory system and nervous system interact to absorb nutrients. The circulatory system and digestive system interact to defend the body from diseases. The circulatory system and nervous system interact to maintain homeostasis.

Answer 2

The correct description of the interaction of two biological systems for a specific purpose in the human body is:

Infection Defense:

As parts of the integumentary system, skin and nostril hairs help keep invading pathogens out.

Within the immune system, antibodies are produced by B lymphocytes to defend against invaders that enter.

In this case, the integumentary system and the immune system coordinate their actions to protect the body from pathogens, demonstrating a specific purpose – infection defense.
