The respiratory system provides oxygen to the blood in the body, while removing carbon dioxide. Which system directly interacts with the respiratory system to maintain homeostasis?
A. the excretory system when it sends out liquid waste as urea
B. the skeletal system when oxygen and glucose around the ribs are absorbed
C. the nervous system when the brain regulates the body’s breathing and heart rate
D. the digestive system when food is broke n down for nutrients
Which statement correctly describes two organ systems working together when the body increases its movement?
A. The excretory system releases extra waste, and the digestive systems breaks down nutrients quickly to replace the waste.
B. The digestive system breaks down nutrients quickly, and the respiratory system delivers the nutrients to the working muscles.
C. The respiratory system increases gas exchange, and the circulatory system circulates blood faster to deliver oxygen to muscles.
D. The circulatory system picks up more carbon dioxide waste from the muscles, and the excretory system releases the carbon dioxide.
