Step-by-step solution for: Muscular System Cloze Activity Worksheets
I'll solve this worksheet on "The Muscular System" by filling in the blanks using the provided word bank. Let me go through it step by step.
First, I need to understand what each blank is asking for and match it with the most appropriate word from the word bank.
Let me start with the first sentence:
"There are over 650 muscles in the body, which are made up of specialized body ________."
This is asking for the basic unit that makes up muscles. Looking at the word bank, "tissues" (item 14) is the correct answer since muscles are made up of muscle tissue.
Next: "Muscles found throughout the body not only produce ________ but they also provide heat, and ________."
- The first blank should be "movement" (item 13) since muscles produce movement.
- The second blank should be "support" (item 8) as muscles provide support to the body.
Then: "There are three types of muscles in the human body: skeletal, ________, and ________."
- The three types are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. So the blanks should be "smooth" (item 4) and "cardiac" (item 1).
Continuing: "Our skeletal and muscular systems work very closely together to move various parts of the body. Skeletal muscles are what help the human body perform ________ tasks like reaching, jumping, walking and dancing."
- This should be "physical" (item 18) as these are physical activities.
Next: "These are the muscles that also hold our bones in place and provide us with the ability to ________."
- This should be "move" (item 13), though "movement" is already used. Looking at the word bank again, "move" isn't listed, but "movement" is. Perhaps it's asking for "control" (item 16) since muscles provide control over our movements.
Actually, let me reconsider. The sentence is about holding bones in place and providing ability to... The most logical answer would be "move" but since it's not in the word bank, maybe "control" (item 16) is intended.
Moving on: "The smooth muscles can be found lining most of the ________."
- Smooth muscles line internal organs, so "organs" (item 9) is the correct answer.
Then: "Smooth muscles help the respiratory and ________ systems perform their functions like push air and through the body by contracting and ________."
- The first blank should be "digestive" (item 3) as smooth muscles are in the digestive system.
- The second blank should be "relaxing" (item 6) as muscles contract and relax.
Next: "The cardiac muscle is responsible for ________ blood throughout the body."
- This should be "pumping" (item 2) as the heart pumps blood.
Then: "The muscles we have ________ of are the muscles, they are voluntary. However, the smooth and cardiac muscles are involuntary and we don't have control over those, they continue to work ________ when one contracts, the other relaxes."
- The first blank should be "control" (item 16) as we have control over skeletal muscles.
- The second blank should be "automatically" (item 12) as involuntary muscles work automatically.
Continuing: "As smaller muscles contract, they help to keep the body warm, when it's cooler, the muscles expand to release ________ and help cool the body."
- This should be "heat" (item 11) as muscles release heat.
Finally: "Muscles also provide protective tissue layers on most of our organs. Muscles rely on the brain to tell them what to do. Muscles need ________ adequate sleep and good nutrition to function well."
- This should be "exercise" (item 17) as muscles need exercise, sleep, and nutrition.
Let me verify all my answers against the word bank:
1. tissues
2. movement
3. support
4. smooth
5. cardiac
6. relaxing
7. digestive
8. control
9. organs
10. pumping
11. heat
12. automatically
13. exercise
Wait, I need to make sure I'm using the correct numbers from the word bank. Let me list them properly:
Word Bank:
1. cardiac
2. pumping
3. digestive
4. smooth
5. stand
6. relaxed
7. repeating
8. joints
9. organs
10. skeletal
11. heat
12. automatically
13. exercise
14. tissues
15. movement
16. control
17. protection
18. physical
Now let me fill in the blanks with the correct word bank numbers:
"There are over 650 muscles in the body, which are made up of specialized body 14."
"Muscles found throughout the body not only produce 15 but they also provide heat, and 16."
"There are three types of muscles in the human body: skeletal, 4, and 1."
"Our skeletal and muscular systems work very closely together to move various parts of the body. Skeletal muscles are what help the human body perform 18 tasks like reaching, jumping, walking and dancing."
"These are the muscles that also hold our bones in place and provide us with the ability to 13." (exercise doesn't quite fit here, but it's the closest available; perhaps "stand" (5) would be better, but "exercise" is more comprehensive)
Actually, let me reconsider the "ability to ________" blank. Given the context of holding bones in place, "stand" (item 5) might be more appropriate than "exercise".
"The smooth muscles can be found lining most of the 9."
"Smooth muscles help the respiratory and 3 systems perform their functions like push air and through the body by contracting and 6."
"The cardiac muscle is responsible for 2 blood throughout the body."
"The muscles we have 16 of are the muscles, they are voluntary. However, the smooth and cardiac muscles are involuntary and we don't have control over those, they continue to work 12 when one contracts, the other relaxes."
"As smaller muscles contract, they help to keep the body warm, when it's cooler, the muscles expand to release 11 and help cool the body."
"Muscles also provide protective tissue layers on most of our organs. Muscles rely on the brain to tell them what to do. Muscles need 13 adequate sleep and good nutrition to function well."
I think I've got all the blanks filled correctly now.
Final Answer:
The completed worksheet should read:
"There are over 650 muscles in the body, which are made up of specialized body 14 (tissues)."
"Muscles found throughout the body not only produce 15 (movement) but they also provide heat, and 16 (support)."

"The smooth muscles can be found lining most of the 9 (organs)."
"Smooth muscles help the respiratory and 3 (digestive) systems perform their functions like push air and through the body by contracting and 6 (relaxing)."
"The cardiac muscle is responsible for 2 (pumping) blood throughout the body."
