Question

13/26
A rabbit is bitten by a predator, leaving an open wound. The rabbit's body responds by delivering oxygen to the wound site while blood cells fight off potential infections. Which systems are interacting in this process? SELECT
TWO
Select all correct options
Circulatory:
Circulation of blood to supply oxygen
Immune:
Protection against invading pathogens
Digestive: Transport of nutrients to cells
Integumentary:
Muscle contractions to close the wound
Digestive:
Absorption of nutrients from food to produce energy

Answer 1

In the scenario described, the two systems that are interacting in the process of the rabbit healing from the bite wound are:

1. **Circulatory**: Circulation of blood to supply oxygen to the wound site.
2. **Immune**: Protection against invading pathogens, as blood cells fight off potential infections.

The digestive system is not directly involved in this immediate response to the wound, nor is the integumentary system specifically described in terms of muscle contractions to close the wound. Therefore, the correct selections are **Circulatory** and **Immune**.
