Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by identifying the primary function of each organ system listed in the problem.
Understand that the digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, but not for transporting them throughout the body.
Recognize that the respiratory system is involved in the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) with the environment, but does not transport these gases throughout the body.
Consider the nervous system, which is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body, but not for transporting nutrients, gases, or waste products.
