Answer:
- Kidneys and ureters are organs of the urinary system.
- The pituitary gland and thyroid gland are organs of the endocrine system
- Which organ system removes carbon dioxide from the bloodstream? Respiratory system.
- Skin, hair, and nails are associated with the integumentary system.
Explanation:
The urinary system is a system located below the rib cage that serves to filter blood and generate urine as a waste by-product. This system is composed of two kidneys, two ureters, the bladder, and the urethra. Kidneys and ureters are structures of the urinary system which are required for urine production and urine transport to the bladder. The endocrine system is an organ system composed of many glands: 1-the thymus is located between the lungs; 2-the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and pineal gland are located in the brain; 3-the thyroid and parathyroid glands are located in the middle portion of the neck; 4-the adrenals glands are located on top of both kidneys, and 5-the pancreas is located behind the stomach. The glands of the endocrine system secrete key hormones which are responsible for regulating different bodily functions. The respiratory system is primarily located at the thorax, it consists of the nose, oropharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and two lungs. This system is responsible for absorbing oxygen (O2) from the air (inhalation) and eliminate carbon dioxide (CO2, exhalation) during respiration. Finally, the integumentary system is located all over the body, it consists of the skin and accessory structures (e.g., hair, nails, specialized glands, and nerves). The integumentary system is responsible for protecting other organ systems from injury and pathogenic infections, although other functions of this system include sensory roles, thermoregulation, and Vitamin D production.
