Question

the small intestine is part of the digestive system. which statement describes how another organ system interacts with the digestive system?
the nervous system breaks down foods into smaller nutrients.
the circulatory system delivers nutrients to other parts of the body.
the respiratory system determines the location of needed nutrients.
the muscular system transmits signals that regulate nutrient absorption.

Explanation:

The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients. The circulatory system then picks up these nutrients from the digestive organs (like the small intestine) and transports them to other parts of the body for use. The nervous system is involved in regulating digestion but not in breaking down food into nutrients. The respiratory system is mainly for gas - exchange and not for determining nutrient location. The muscular system helps with movement of food through the digestive tract but not in transmitting signals for nutrient absorption.

Answer:

B. The circulatory system delivers nutrients to other parts of the body.
