Question 10 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 P Flag question system and its contribution to homeostasis? Select one: 0 a. The digestive system helps to maintain the correct amounts of nutrients for the body tissues to do their jobs. O b. The digestive system is responsible for monitoring the oxygen and carbon dioxide amounts in the blood and tissues . The digestive system breaks down food sources into the needed nutrients and deposits these nutrients into the blood for use by the cells. O O d. All of the above are true. Finish attempt oy

Explanation / Answer

The digestive system provides carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to the body in adequate amounts to maintain blood levels. It also supports homeostasis by maintaining the pH in the digestive tract. The bacteria present in the gut influence immunity in the body.

The oxygen and carbon dioxide amount in the blood is regulated by the respiratory system and not the digestive system. Hence, this is the untrue statement.
