Numbers may be used more than once.arrow_forwardFill in the organ system table below by either describing the function of the organ system or by identifying the organ system described. Organ System Function Integumentary system Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter blood and are distributed to body cells; indigestible foodstuffs eliminated as feces. Respiratory system Filters blood and excretes metabolic wastes; regulates fluid and electrolyte balance, and pH homeostasis. Endocrine system Returns fluid leaked from blood vessels to blood; disposes of debris; houses white blood cells; carries out immune responses. Cardiovascular system Produces and transports gametes (sperm and egg cells); growth and development of new offspring. Muscular system Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework for muscles used to cause movement; forms blood cells and stores minerals.

Other examples of a frog's organs are its eyes, heart, lungs, and stomach. Several organs working together are called an organ system. The digestive system of a frog is an organ system that provides the frog with a way of getting energy from food sources. The digestive system includes the mouth, stomach, small and large intestines, and other organs. Other systems common to most ani- mals are the respiratory system (used for breathing), the circulatory system (used for moving blood), the nervous system (used for transmitting messages to and from the brain), the reproductive system (used for reproduction), and the ex- cretory system (used for the elimination of waste). Vertebrates (animals with backbones) also have a skeletal system that serves as a support structure.
