select the statement(s) that accurately describe an organ system and the correct organs.
□ respiratory - lungs, nose
□ digestive - large intestine, stomach
□ reproductive - gonads, pelvis
□ circulatory - heart, blood vessels
□ nervous - nerves, kidney

Explanation:

• The respiratory system functions in gas exchange, with lungs (primary gas exchange organ) and nose (entry/exit for air) as key organs.
• The digestive system breaks down food, with the stomach (food breakdown) and large intestine (water/ nutrient absorption) as core digestive organs.
• The circulatory system transports blood, with the heart (pump) and blood vessels (transport pathways) as its main components.
• The reproductive system handles reproduction: gonads produce gametes, and the pelvis contains reproductive structures.
• The nervous system coordinates body functions, but the kidney belongs to the urinary system, not nervous.

Answer:

• respiratory - lungs, nose
• digestive - large intestine, stomach
• circulatory - heart, blood vessels
• reproductive - gonads, pelvis
