Match each system in column A with its corresponding function in column B. umn A endocrine COLUMN B a. Provides movement,body posture, and heatb. Uses hormones toregulate body functionc. Transports fatty nutrientsfrom the digestive systeminto the blood d. Causes physical andchemical changes in nutrients so they can be absorbed into the blood e. Cleans the blood of metabolic waste and regulates water and electrolyte balance f. Protects underlying structures, has sensory receptors, and regulates body temperature g. Responsible for the transport of substances from one part of the body to another h. Ensures the survival of the species rather than the individual i. Uses electrochemical signals to integrate and control body functions j. Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide and helps regulate acid-base balance k. Provides a rigid framework for the body and stores minerals
