Circulatory System

Respiratory System

Skeletal System

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the primary function of each organ system listed in the options. The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting blood, nutrients, gases, and wastes. The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Understand the role of the skeletal system in the context of blood cell production. The skeletal system includes bones, which house the bone marrow.

Recognize that bone marrow, found within certain bones, is the site of hematopoiesis, the process of producing blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Connect the condition of pernicious anemia to the production of blood cells. Pernicious anemia is a type of anemia caused by the inability to absorb vitamin B12, which is crucial for the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.

Conclude that the skeletal system is primarily responsible for the production of blood cells, as it contains the bone marrow where hematopoiesis occurs, making it the correct answer to the problem.
