Tremel, Isaiah, and Kyree are studying biology. They are discussing the function of the nervous system. Kyree thinks it's to provide nutrients for the body, Isaiah thinks it's to send and receive messages, Tremel thinks it's to circulate oxygen to cells, and their teacher thinks it's to remove carbon dioxide from blood. Who is correct?
Daniel - provide nutrients for the body
Grace - send and receive messages
Abigail - circulate oxygen to cells
Teacher - remove carbon dioxide from blood
