D. Bone
Answer: The kidney is an organ made of several tissues, whereas muscle, blood and bone are tissues.
A. Transport of oxygen
B. Breakdown of food into absorbable simple substances
C. Production of hormones
D. Movement of the skeleton
Answer: The digestive system breaks complex food into simple substances that can be absorbed by the body.
A. Respiratory system
B. Excretory system
C. Circulatory system
D. Digestive system
Answer: The circulatory system, comprising the heart and blood vessels, transports blood throughout the body.
A. Epiglottis
B. Larynx
C. Oesophagus
D. Nasal cavity
Answer: The epiglottis closes the opening of the windpipe during swallowing so that food passes only into the oesophagus.

Answer: Kidneys filter blood to remove waste and form urine, which is expelled through the excretory system.
A. Brain, spinal cord and nerves
B. Heart, arteries and veins
C. Kidneys and bladder
D. Lungs and trachea
Answer: The brain, spinal cord and nerves together form the nervous system that controls and coordinates body activities.
A. Digestion of food
B. Carrying oxygen
C. Supporting the body and protecting vital organs
D. Producing hormones only
Answer: The skeleton gives the body its shape, supports it and protects organs such as the brain and heart.
A. Skeletal system
B. Endocrine system
C. Muscular system
D. Nervous system
Answer: The endocrine system is made of ductless glands that release hormones into the blood.
A. Hormones
B. Digestive enzymes only
C. Antibodies only
D. Haemoglobin
Answer: Endocrine glands secrete hormones that regulate growth, metabolism and other body functions.

A. Collenchyma
B. Sclerenchyma
C. Xylem
D. Cork
