Other systems interact with the digestive system
to maintain homeostasis. One system moves
food through the digestive system so that it can
be broken down into nutrients through
mechanical digestion. Another system then
delivers those nutrients from the digestive system
to the rest of the body. Select the two systems
which are responsible for these interactions.

Respiratory


Nervous


Cardiovascular


Muscular


Excretory


Immune

Answer 1

The two systems responsible for the interactions with the digestive system as described in your question are:

1. **Muscular System** - This system is responsible for mechanical digestion, as it helps move food through the digestive tract through muscle contractions (peristalsis).

2. **Cardiovascular System** - This system is responsible for delivering the nutrients absorbed from the digestive system to the rest of the body. The bloodstream transports these nutrients to various cells and tissues.

So the correct selections are **Muscular** and **Cardiovascular**.
