Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Begin by identifying the primary function of the organ systems listed in the problem. For example, the nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals, the digestive system processes food, and the respiratory system facilitates gas exchange.
Step 2: Recall the function of the circulatory system. It is primarily responsible for transporting blood, nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout the body via arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Step 3: Understand the components of the circulatory system. It includes the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood itself. The heart pumps blood, while the vessels serve as pathways for circulation.
Step 4: Compare the functions of the circulatory system with the other systems listed in the problem. The circulatory system is the only one directly involved in blood transport through arterial and venous systems.
Step 5: Conclude that the correct answer is the circulatory system, as it aligns with the description provided in the problem.
