Understand the Problem
This question is asking how the digestive system interacts and works with other body systems. It requires providing at least two complete sentences describing the interaction of the digestive system with two different body systems.
Answer
The digestive system works with the circulatory system to transport nutrients and with the nervous system to control the digestive process.
The digestive system works with the circulatory system by breaking down food into nutrients that are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported throughout the body. The nervous system also works with the digestive system by controlling the digestive process; for example, when you see or smell food, your brain sends signals to your digestive system to prepare for eating.
