Question

When you eat a meal, the foods you eat are broken down by the digestive system into nutrients that can be used by the cells of the body. Consider the processes involved in the digestive system: ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination. How does the digestive system interact with other body systems to accomplish its purposes? Select ALL that apply.

Responses
A The respiratory system transports oxygen to the organs of the digestive system
B The nervous system controls the motion of the smooth muscles in the digestive tract.
C The circulatory system transports absorbed nutrients from the small intestine to the cells
D The digestive system eliminates carbon dioxide from the circulatory system.
E The endocrine system controls the release of hormones and enzymes required for digestion of food in the digestive tract.

Answer 1

A and E

Step-by-step explanation:

It's not C because the circulatory system doesn't transport nutrients, it transports blood to the body. It's not D because the digestive system eliminates some of the carbon dioxide produced from the digestion of the food, but not from the circulatory system. It's not B because the brain is what controls the muscle in the digestive tract, not the nervous system.
