Question

The model shows the digestive system in the human body.

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.

A.
cardiovascular

B.
excretory

C.
respiratory

D.
muscular

E.
nervous

F.
immune

Answer 1

The two systems that interact with the digestive system as described are:

A. cardiovascular - This system is responsible for delivering the nutrients absorbed from the digestive system to the rest of the body.

D. muscular - This system helps to move food through the digestive tract via mechanical digestion (peristalsis and muscle contractions).

So the correct selections are A and D.
