Can someone check this tell me if I matched them correctly?
Match the system responsible for each homeostatic relationship with the muscular system.
Endocrine -- releases hormones to contribute to muscle strength and mass
Immune – protects muscles from disease
Integumentary – regulates body temperature
Reproductive – releases testicular androgen to increase muscle size
Urinary – provides oxygen and gets rid of muscular waste
Respiratory – uses muscular activity for elimination behavior
To check if you've matched them correctly, we need to understand the functions of each system and how they relate to the muscular system.
Here are the correct matches:
1. Endocrine: Releases hormones to contribute to muscle strength and mass - This is correct. The endocrine system, which includes glands such as the pituitary and adrenal glands, produces hormones like testosterone and growth hormone that play a role in muscle development and strength.
2. Immune: Protects muscles from disease - This is incorrect. The immune system is primarily responsible for defending the body against pathogens and infections, but it does not specifically protect the muscles. The muscular system relies on other systems to protect it, such as the integumentary system.
3. Integumentary: Regulates body temperature - This is correct. The integumentary system, which includes the skin, regulates body temperature by controlling blood flow to the muscles and releasing sweat.
4. Reproductive: Releases testicular androgen to increase muscle size - This is correct. In males, the testes produce androgens like testosterone, which play a role in muscle growth and development.
5. Urinary: Provides oxygen and gets rid of muscular waste - This is incorrect. The urinary system, composed of the kidneys, bladder, and related structures, is responsible for filtering waste products and excess water from the blood. It does not directly provide oxygen to the muscles.
6. Respiratory: Uses muscular activity for elimination behavior - This is incorrect. The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, but it does not utilize muscular activity for elimination behavior.
Based on these corrections, the correct matches would be:
Endocrine – releases hormones to contribute to muscle strength and mass
Immune – not related to the muscular system
Integumentary – regulates body temperature
Reproductive – releases testicular androgen to increase muscle size
Urinary – not related to the muscular system
Respiratory – not related to the muscular system
