Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary function of each organ system listed in the options.
Consider the circulatory system: It is responsible for transporting blood, which carries nutrients, gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide), and waste products throughout the body.
Examine the respiratory system: Its main function is to facilitate the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the blood and the environment, but it does not transport nutrients or waste products.
Analyze the nervous system: It is primarily involved in transmitting signals throughout the body to coordinate actions, but it does not transport nutrients, gases, or waste products.
Review the digestive system: It is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, but it does not transport gases or waste products throughout the body.
