Question

Which statements describe how systems interact to produce the fight-or-flight response?

Select the two correct answers.

The digestive system interacts with the excretory system, supplying hormones to slow the production of urine.

The endocrine system floods the circulatory system with hormones that affect several other body systems.

The endocrine system supplies the lungs with insulin, allowing increased absorption of oxygen.

The digestive system creates hormones that are sent to the muscular system, resulting in increased blood flow to muscles.

The muscular system sends receptors to the circulatory system to increase blood pressure and heart rate.

The circulatory system experiences a change in blood flow, which allows the muscular system to obtain additional glucose.
