Identify the organ systems that utilize the various forms of energy (chemical, electrical, mechanical, and radiant / electromagnetic)
The organ system that utizes chemical energy is digestive system .Chemical energy is used to perform various activities in our daily life.Food is digested and is converted to chemical energy.It is transformed into other forms of energy and is used by the cells.Theb chemical reaction involved in digestion helps to maintain and repair the body.
The organ system that utilizes electrical energy is nervous system.For sending signals through out the body and to the brain electrical energy is required.
In order to stand or move or if we want to move our body in any condition ,we need mechanical energy.Food is digested and is converted into chemical energy.The chemical energy stored is converted into mechanical energy.Mechanical energy is used for the movement.
Electromagnetic energy is utilized by the cardiovascular systems.The heart is the main source of electromagnetic energy.Compare to brains electrical field ,it is 60 times greater in amplitude in heart.
