What human body systems means

You learn how the body moves food, blood and air to keep you alive. This matters because each system has a clear job, and you need to match the organ with its function in questions.

What you will practise

  • Identify where starch digestion starts.
  • Match the heart with pumping blood.
  • Choose the alveoli as the site of gas exchange.
  • Link each organ to its main function.

Before you start

You should already know the names of basic organs in the body. It also helps if you can read simple science questions carefully.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Digestion of starch begins in the…

  • stomach
  • mouth
  • small intestine
  • liver
Answer: mouth

Working: Saliva contains amylase, which starts breaking down starch in the mouth.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Saying digestion of starch begins in the stomach instead of the mouth.
  • Choosing lungs as the gas exchange site and forgetting the alveoli.
  • Thinking the heart stores blood rather than pumps it around the body.
  • Mixing up digestion, circulation and breathing as if they do the same job.
