What is the main role of the Digestive System? The Digestive System breaks down food into nutrients the body can absorb; it processes ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination of waste.
Which organs are part of the Urinary System, and what is the system’s overall function? The Urinary System includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Its function is to filter the blood, remove waste products and excess water/salts, producing urine for excretion.
What is the primary function of the Cardiovascular System? The Cardiovascular System transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and wastes throughout the body via blood and it delivers needed substances to cells and removes metabolic waste products.
