Question

1.

Which organ system provides support for the body, stores minerals, and produces red blood cells?

		Endocrine
		Muscle
		Cardiovascular
		Skeletal

2.

Which of the following is the term for the tissue that functions to support, bind, or attach other tissues or organs?

		Epithelial tissue
		Connective tissue
		Muscle tissue
		Nervous tissue

Answer 1

Ans.1

The answer is 'Skeletal; System.

Explanation:

The skeletal system of the body which is composed of bones,ligaments,cartilages and other tissues,perform the essential functions in providing strength to the body, stores minerals, and produces red blood cells in the following ways:

• The strength comes from all the bones that is a part of the skeletal system,which provide structural support to rest of the body.
• Bone contains calcium that stores minerals that can be later broken down to increase the blood calcium levels.
• The interior region of the bones contains bone marrow,the connective tissue that fills the interior of the bones.These bone marrow is the site for development of red blood cells.

Let us also understand the functioning of other organ system given as answer options:

1. Endocrine System - It is the organ system that makes hormones,the chemical messengers that carries' information from one cell to another all through the body.They release hormones into the bloodstream,which on other hand regulates various other functions of the body.
2. Muscular System -Its main function is to allow the movement through contraction.All the functions that involves movement like heartbeat,breathing,digestion,speaking etc,rely on the muscular system.A muscular systems consists of more than 500 muscles that works together and enable the full body functioning.
3. Cardiovascular System -The cardiovascular system is responsible for the circulation blood throughout the body through a network of vessels and provides individual cells with oxygen and nutrients and also helps in disposing the metabolic wastes.Heart is an important part of the cardiovascular system,that pumps the blood around the blood vessels.

Ans.2

The answer is 'Connective Tissue'.

Explanation:

The binding of cells and organs of the body together is done by the connective tissue,made up of fibers,ground substance and cells.It also helps in the protection,support and joining of all parts of the body.

Let us also understand the functioning of other types of tissues given as answer options:

1. Epithelial tissue -The function of epithelial tissue is to cover the exterior surfaces of the body,formation of certain glands and lining the internal cavities and passage ways.
2. Muscle tissue -Its function is to provide movement by contracting and responding to various simulations.
3. Nervous tissue -It helps in the propagation of electrochemical signals in the form nerve impulses and communicate between different parts of the body.
