Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy. Food and drink must be broken down into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body. This food is then used to power movement by the body. What system is NOT described in the interaction?

Only 1 in 300 million sperm will reach the fallopian tube during reproduction. In order for a baby to be created, the egg of the female must simultaneously move through the Fallopian tube, via muscular contractions, as the sperm make their journey. Once the sperm encounters, penetrates and fertilizes the ovum (egg), a zygote is created. This entire process is simulated by the release of hormones in the body. Which system is NOT described in the interaction?
