14. Extended Response: Answers will vary.
Students must cite at least two body
systems that are used when eating
lunch. For example:
• The nervous system sends messages
to your hands and mouth to raise
the food to your mouth and to chew
the food. Tastes are sensed in the
mouth, and this information is sent
to the brain.
• The muscular and skeletal systems
work together to lift food to
your mouth.
• The digestive system breaks down
the food and prepares it to be
digested, and then used for energy.
• The excretory system removes waste
from the foods that your body does
not need and prepares to get rid of
it later.
• The respiratory and circulatory
systems keep oxygen-rich blood
moving through your body while
you eat.
