Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the primary function of each body system listed in the options.
Understand that the respiratory system is primarily responsible for gas exchange, which involves moving oxygen into the blood and removing carbon dioxide from it.
Recognize that the digestive system is mainly involved in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, not gas exchange.
Acknowledge that the nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body and does not directly handle gas exchange.
Note that the circulatory system transports gases, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body, but the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs in the respiratory system.
