Body Systems Trashketball 3

Which of the following correctly describes an interaction that occurs between two body systems of a rabbit that helps the rabbit outrun a pursuing coyote?

• The skeletal system releases additional calcium, and the circulatory system retains more sodium in the blood to provide muscles with ions for contraction.

• The digestive system increases the rate of digestion, and the excretory system ceases to provide tissues with more nutrients.

• The respiratory system increases the breathing rate, and the circulatory system increases blood pressure to provide tissues with more oxygen.

• The endocrine system releases hormones that prepare the immune system to deal with

  possible injuries.
