Question

question 5 of 10 stress can cause a change in eating habits. which body system would this affect? a. endocrine system b. cardiovascular system c. musculoskeletal system d. digestive system

Explanation:

Eating habits relate to the intake, digestion, and processing of food. The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. Changes in eating habits (like overeating, undereating, or unhealthy food choices due to stress) directly impact the digestive system's function (e.g., altering digestion rate, gut motility, or enzyme production). The endocrine system regulates hormones (stress affects it, but the question is about the system affected by eating habit changes, not the cause). Cardiovascular is about blood/circulation, musculoskeletal about movement/support—neither relate to eating/ digestion.

Answer:

D. Digestive system
