Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary function of each system listed in the options. The skeletal system, digestive system, endocrine system, and muscular system each have distinct roles in the human body.
Consider the skeletal system: it is composed of bones and cartilage, providing structural support and protection to vital organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs.
Examine the digestive system: its main function is to break down food and absorb nutrients, not primarily to protect organs.
Look at the endocrine system: it regulates bodily functions through hormones but does not provide physical protection to organs.
Review the muscular system: it facilitates movement and stability but does not primarily serve as a protective barrier for major organs.
