Question

Systems in the Human Body

The human body is made up of different systems that interact with each other to achieve homeostasis for the body. All of the organ systems are made up of organs that are made from tissues and cells. The cells that form the tissues of an organ depend on the function of the organ. Three of the body’s systems—the circulatory, digestive, and excretory system—are shown.



Multiple Choice Question

Which statement best describes an interaction between the circulatory system and the digestive system?

A. 

The circulatory system transports hormones that signal the digestive system to excrete urine from the body. 

B. 

The digestive system absorbs nutrients from food, and the circulatory system processes the waste from the food. 

C. 

The digestive system absorbs nutrients from food, and the circulatory system carries the nutrients throughout the body. 

D. 

The circulatory system transports oxygen throughout the body, and the digestive system removes carbon dioxide from the body. 

Answer 1

The statement that best describes an interaction between the circulatory system and the digestive system is:

C. The digestive system absorbs nutrients from food, and the circulatory system carries the nutrients throughout the body.

This interaction highlights the role of the digestive system in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, which are then transported by the circulatory system to cells and tissues throughout the body for use.
