question 4 of 16sci_bio_unit8a_2526_ksubmit testquestion 1-4biting flies can transmit diseases and cause loss of blood for animals in nature. horses have developed behaviors to repel biting flies, such as ear flicking, head tossing, leg stamping, and tail swishing.which statement best describes the interaction between body systems that allows horses to repel biting flies?○ the circulatory system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the nervous system to move.○ the integumentary system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the circulatory system to move.○ the muscular system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the integumentary system to move.○ the nervous system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the muscular system to move.

Explanation:

The integumentary system (skin, hair, etc.) detects the presence of biting flies first. It sends a signal to the nervous system, which then triggers the muscular system to produce movements like ear flicking or tail swishing to repel the flies. The correct option reflects this interaction pathway.

Answer:

O The nervous system senses the biting flies and sends a signal to the muscular system to move.
