Step-by-step solution for: Body Systems Matching Practice | PDF | Human Body | Animal Anatomy
Let's solve this step by step.

We are given 11 body systems and 11 corresponding functions (A–K). We need to match each system to its correct function.
---
1. Respiratory System
→ C. Gas exchange
*Explanation:* The respiratory system (lungs, trachea, etc.) allows oxygen to enter the blood and carbon dioxide to be removed — gas exchange.
---
2. Circulatory System
→ A. Transport of nutrients and gases
*Explanation:* The heart and blood vessels transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.
---
3. Skeletal System
→ G. Support
*Explanation:* Bones provide structural support for the body and protect internal organs.
---
4. Excretory System
→ H. Excretion of wastes
*Explanation:* Organs like kidneys, ureters, bladder remove metabolic wastes (e.g., urea) from the body.
---
5. Lymphatic System
→ B. Removes fluids that leak from blood vessels
*Explanation:* The lymphatic system collects excess interstitial fluid (lymph), returns it to circulation, and helps in immune defense.
---
6. Muscular System
→ F. Movement
*Explanation:* Muscles contract to produce movement of the body and limbs.
---
7. Integumentary System
→ D. Cover – first line of defense
*Explanation:* The skin (integumentary system) protects the body from pathogens and physical damage — it's the first line of defense.
---
8. Endocrine System
→ K. Secretion of hormones
*Explanation:* Glands like the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream to regulate body functions.
---
9. Reproductive System
→ I. Reproduction
*Explanation:* This system produces gametes (sperm and eggs) and supports reproduction.
---
10. Nervous System
→ E. Sending signals
*Explanation:* The brain, spinal cord, and nerves transmit electrical signals to coordinate body activities.
---
11. Digestive System
→ J. Breakdown of Nutrients
*Explanation:* The digestive tract breaks down food into absorbable nutrients (mechanically and chemically).

✔ Matching Summary:
| Number | System | Letter | Function |
|--------|----------------------|--------|------------------------------------------|
| 1 | Respiratory | C | Gas exchange |
| 2 | Circulatory | A | Transport of nutrients and gases |
| 3 | Skeletal | G | Support |
| 4 | Excretory | H | Excretion of wastes |
| 5 | Lymphatic | B | Removes fluids that leak from blood vessels |
| 6 | Muscular | F | Movement |
| 7 | Integumentary | D | Cover – first line of defense |
| 8 | Endocrine | K | Secretion of hormones |
| 9 | Reproductive | I | Reproduction |
| 10 | Nervous | E | Sending signals |
| 11 | Digestive | J | Breakdown of Nutrients |

Now let’s identify the systems shown in the diagrams.
We’ll go through them one by one:
---
12.
👉 Shows bones (spine, skull, ribs, limbs)
→ Skeletal System
---
13.
👉 Shows reproductive organs (uterus, ovaries, testes, penis)
→ Reproductive System
---
14.
👉 Shows kidneys and urinary tract (bladder, ureters)
→ Excretory System
---
15.
👉 Shows stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas
→ Digestive System
---
16.
👉 Shows yellowish structure with bones again (same as #12 but different angle)
→ Skeletal System *(Note: Could be same as 12, but possibly a duplicate or alternate view)*
Wait — actually, looking closely:
- 12 is full skeletal system
- 16 is also skeletal system — likely another view
But since both show bones, both are Skeletal System
However, let's check others.
---
17.
👉 Red muscles visible (biceps, quadriceps, etc.)
→ Muscular System
---
18.
👉 Heart, arteries, veins (blue and red)
→ Circulatory System
---
19.
👉 Lungs and trachea
→ Respiratory System
---
✔ Final Answers for Identification:
| Number | System Identified |
|--------|-------------------------|
| 12 | Skeletal System |
| 13 | Reproductive System |
| 14 | Excretory System |
| 15 | Digestive System |
| 16 | Skeletal System |
| 17 | Muscular System |
| 18 | Circulatory System |
| 19 | Respiratory System |
