Which is the best explanation of how the muscular system aids in delivering nutrients to cells?
a)
Layers of smooth muscle line the organs of the digestive system, pushing the meal through the system by involuntary contractions known as peristalsis.
b)
Epidermal cells mechanically break down food into smaller pieces so enzymes in the digestive system have a larger surface area to work on.
c)
Microvilli in the small intestine have a large surface area for small molecules to diffuse from the digestive system into the bloodstream.
d)
Large muscles require large amounts of energy to do work.
