Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Human Body Puzzles
To solve this matching task, we need to pair each body system name with the correct organ and the correct full-body diagram. Let’s go step by step.

We have four systems shown on the left:
- Digestive system (appears twice)
- Respiratory system
- Excretory system

And on the right, we have three organ cards and three full-body diagrams that match them:

Organ cards (top to bottom):
1. Brain → matches Nervous System (but “Nervous system” isn’t listed on the left — wait, let’s check again)
Wait — actually, looking at the full-body diagrams:

Full-body diagrams (right side, top to bottom):
1. Person with brain highlighted → Nervous System
2. Person with lungs highlighted → Respiratory System
3. Person with stomach and intestines highlighted → Digestive System

But the labels on the left are:
- Digestive system (twice)
- Respiratory system
- Excretory system

Hmm — there’s a mismatch? Let’s look more carefully.

Actually, the organ cards are:
Top: Brain → should match nervous system, but “nervous system” is not among the labeled cards on the left.
Middle: Lungs → respiratory system
Bottom: Stomach → digestive system

The full-body diagrams:
Top: shows brain and nerves → nervous system
Middle: shows lungs and trachea → respiratory system
Bottom: shows stomach and intestines → digestive system

But the labeled cards on the left are:
- Two “Digestive system”
- One “Respiratory system”
- One “Excretory system”

Wait — one of the full-body diagrams must be excretory? But none show kidneys or bladder clearly.

Let’s re-express:

Perhaps the “excretory system” card on the left is meant to match... but which organ? The image doesn’t show kidneys. However, in many elementary curricula, the excretory system is sometimes paired with the urinary system, and may be represented by the lower abdomen area — but here, the bottom full-body diagram shows stomach AND intestines — which is digestive.

This suggests there might be an error — OR — perhaps one of the “digestive system” cards is mislabeled? No, let’s think differently.

Actually, looking again at the left-side cards:

There are FOUR labeled cards:
1. Digestive system (with figure showing stomach/intestines)
2. Respiratory system (with figure showing lungs/trachea)
3. Excretory system (with figure showing... what? It looks like it’s showing the same as digestive? Wait no — let’s describe the figures on the left:

Left column figures (from top to bottom):

First card: Figure has red hair, and internal organs shown: esophagus, stomach, intestines → that’s digestive → label says “Digestive system”

Second card: Figure has green lungs and trachea → respiratory → label says “Respiratory system”

Third card: Figure has... orange kidneys? Or maybe bladder? Actually, it looks like it’s showing the urinary tract — two bean-shaped organs (kidneys) and tubes going down → that’s excretory/urinary → label says “Excretory system”

Fourth card: Same as first — stomach and intestines → label says “Digestive system”

So now, the right side:

Top row: Organ = Brain; Full body = person with brain/nerves → this is NERVOUS SYSTEM — but there’s NO “nervous system” card on the left! So this pair does NOT match any of the given labels. That means we ignore it? Or perhaps the task is only to match the ones that DO correspond?

Wait — the instruction is to solve the problem — meaning, match the correct pairs from the available options.

Looking at the layout, it seems the student is supposed to connect each labeled card on the left to the correct organ + full-body pair on the right.

So let’s list the labeled cards and find their matches:

Card 1: “Digestive system” → needs organ: stomach → and full-body: person with stomach/intestines → that’s the BOTTOM row on the right.

Card 2: “Respiratory system” → needs organ: lungs → and full-body: person with lungs → that’s the MIDDLE row on the right.

Card 3: “Excretory system” → needs organ: kidneys/bladder — but there’s no kidney card on the right! The organs shown are brain, lungs, stomach. None are kidneys.

Problem: There is no organ card for excretory system on the right.

Unless… perhaps the “excretory system” is mistakenly included? Or maybe in this curriculum, they consider part of the digestive as excretory? Unlikely.

Wait — let’s count:

Left: 4 labeled cards
Right: 3 organ cards + 3 full-body cards = 3 complete pairs

That means one labeled card on the left does NOT have a match on the right.

Which one? The “excretory system” — because there’s no kidney organ shown.

Also, the top-right pair (brain + nervous system body) has no matching label on the left.

Therefore, the correct matches are:

- “Respiratory system” ↔ lungs organ ↔ middle full-body (lungs highlighted)
- “Digestive system” (first one) ↔ stomach organ ↔ bottom full-body (stomach/intestines highlighted)
- The second “Digestive system” card — duplicate? Probably also matches the same as above — but since there’s only one digestive pair on the right, perhaps it’s a trick? Or maybe both digestive cards point to the same pair? But physically, you can’t split one puzzle piece.

Alternatively, perhaps the “excretory system” card is meant to match... nothing? That doesn’t make sense.

Another possibility: Maybe the “excretory system” figure on the left is actually showing the urinary system, and the corresponding full-body on the right is... but none show kidneys.

Wait — look at the bottom full-body diagram: it shows stomach AND intestines — that’s purely digestive. The middle shows lungs — respiratory. Top shows brain — nervous.

None show excretory.

Therefore, the only valid matches are:

- Respiratory system → lungs → middle right pair
- Digestive system → stomach → bottom right pair

The other two labeled cards (“Digestive system” again and “Excretory system”) do not have matching organ/full-body pairs on the right.

But that seems odd for a homework task.

Perhaps I misidentified the excretory figure.

Look at the third labeled card on the left: “Excretory system” — the figure shows two reddish-orange organs near the back (kidneys?) and tubes going down to a bladder? Yes — that’s excretory/urinary.

But on the right, there is no such organ card.

Unless... the task is to match ONLY the ones that have counterparts, and leave the others unmatched? But the user didn’t specify.

Given the context of a school task, likely the intended matches are:

Match each labeled system to its correct organ and full-body illustration.

So:

“Respiratory system” → matches the lungs organ and the full-body with lungs highlighted.

“Digestive system” → matches the stomach organ and the full-body with stomach/intestines highlighted.

Now, what about the second “Digestive system” card? It’s identical to the first — probably a duplicate for practice or error. We can assign it to the same match, but since it’s a physical puzzle, perhaps it’s meant to be matched to the same pair — but that’s not possible with jigsaw pieces.

Alternatively, maybe the “excretory system” is incorrectly placed, and one of the “digestive” is meant to be “excretory”? But the figures don’t support that.

Another idea: Perhaps the bottom full-body diagram is meant to represent both digestive and excretory? But it clearly shows stomach and intestines — digestive.

I think the most reasonable conclusion is:

The correct matches are:

- “Respiratory system” ↔ lungs organ ↔ middle full-body diagram
- “Digestive system” (either one) ↔ stomach organ ↔ bottom full-body diagram

The “excretory system” card and the second “digestive system” card do not have matching pairs on the right, and the top-right pair (nervous system) has no matching label on the left.

But since the task is to “solve the problem”, and assuming it’s a matching exercise where each label should connect to one pair, perhaps there’s a mistake in my reasoning.

Let me try a different approach: maybe the “excretory system” is matched to the stomach? No, that’s wrong.

Or perhaps in some curricula, the large intestine is considered part of excretory? Still, the organ shown is stomach, not colon.

I recall that in some simplified models, the excretory system is taught alongside digestive, but the organ would still be kidneys.

Given the images provided, the only logical matches are:

Label: "Respiratory system" → Organ: Lungs → Body: Middle right

Label: "Digestive system" → Organ: Stomach → Body: Bottom right

The other labels ("Excretory system" and the second "Digestive system") cannot be matched to any of the right-side pairs because the required organs (kidneys for excretory, and only one stomach for digestive) are not present.

However, since this is likely a designed activity, and there are 4 labels and 3 pairs, perhaps the intention is to match the three that fit, and the fourth is extra.

But the user expects a solution.

Perhaps I missed something: look at the top-left labeled card — it's "Digestive system" with a figure that has stomach and intestines — matches bottom right.

Second labeled card: "Respiratory system" with lungs — matches middle right.

Third labeled card: "Excretory system" with kidneys — no match on right.

Fourth labeled card: "Digestive system" again — same as first — could match bottom right, but already taken.

Top-right pair: brain + nervous body — no label on left.

So, the solvable matches are only two out of four.

But that seems incomplete.

Another possibility: maybe the "excretory system" is meant to be matched to the stomach? No.

Or perhaps the bottom full-body diagram is intended to be excretory? But it shows stomach and small/large intestine — definitely digestive.

I think there might be an error in the materials, but for the purpose of this task, we'll match what we can.

Final decision:

The correct pairings are:

- "Respiratory system" matches with the lungs organ and the full-body diagram showing the respiratory system (middle right).
- "Digestive system" matches with the stomach organ and the full-body diagram showing the digestive system (bottom right).

The "excretory system" and the second "digestive system" cards do not have corresponding matches among the provided organ/body pairs on the right.

Since the task is to solve the matching, and assuming we are to provide the correct connections, we state the valid matches.

But the user might expect all cards to be matched, so perhaps in this context, the "excretory system" is incorrectly labeled, or vice versa.

Let's double-check the figures:

On the left, the "excretory system" card shows a figure with two kidney-like organs and ureters — that's correct for excretory.

On the right, no such organ.

Unless... the bottom organ is not just stomach — but it's drawn as a J-shaped organ, which is stomach.

I think we have to conclude that only two matches are possible.

But let's see the answer format — it should be the final answer.

Perhaps the task is to identify which labeled card goes with which right-side pair.

So for the three right-side pairs:

1. Brain + nervous body → no match on left
2. Lungs + respiratory body → matches "Respiratory system" label
3. Stomach + digestive body → matches "Digestive system" label

The other two labels on left have no match.

So the solution is to connect:

- "Respiratory system" to the middle right pair
- "Digestive system" to the bottom right pair

And leave the others unmatched.

For the sake of providing a clear answer, I'll state the correct matches.

Final Answer:
- Match "Respiratory system" with the lungs organ and the full-body diagram showing the respiratory system.
- Match "Digestive system" with the stomach organ and the full-body diagram showing the digestive system.
- The "Excretory system" and the second "Digestive system" cards do not have matching pairs in the given set.
