Question
modeling body systems quick check
what is the role of the nervous system in digestion? (1 point)
to provide oxygen
to provide electrical signals to initiate peristalsis
to provide enzymes
to provide passage of nutrients throughout the body
The nervous system controls the muscles involved in peristalsis (the wave - like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract) by sending electrical signals. It does not provide oxygen (respiratory system), enzymes (glands in digestive system), or passage of nutrients (circulatory system).
