Question 10 of 34 Which of the following best describes the function of the human nervous
system?
A. The nervous system transports oxygen and nutrients to the body's

B. The nervous system collects and responds to information about
the internal and external environment,
C. The nervous system protects internal organs and assists with
movement.
D. The nervous system protects the body against infection and helps
regulate body temperature,

B. The nervous system collects and responds to information about

the internal and external environment,

Explanation:

The nervous system is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the body. It is the center of all mental activity including thought, learning, and memory. Together with the endocrine system, the nervous system is responsible for regulating and maintaining homeostasis.

The correct option is;

The sum of angles A and B are supplementary to angle C

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements are analysed as follows

1. Angle A is congruent to itself reflective property

Which shows that ΔABC and ΔADE have a common and equal angle

2. Segment ED and CB are parallel

From the transversal line passing EB and CB which shows that the angles ∠ADE and ∠ABC are equal and also ∠AED and ∠ACB are equal

The statement is used to prove similarity between the ΔABC and ΔADE

3. The sum of angles A and B are supplementary to angle C

The above statements relates to only ΔABC and i does not show similarity between ΔABC and ΔADE.
