Welcome back. Let's look at the next question. Organs are grouped into organ systems where they collaborate on a specific task for the organism, which of the following pairs of organs and organ systems is incorrect. So we'll just talk about each answer. Choice in turn, as we look for an incorrect pairing of organs with their organ system. So we're calling that within an organ system, organs are working together to accomplish the specific task of that system. So choice A says mouth and salivary glands, respiratory system. Well, right away, we've hit on our incorrect answer. We know we don't have more than one and the mouth. I don't know, you might be tempted to think it might be part of the respiratory system. It is possible to breathe through your mouth and have air coming in. It's connected to the trachea, but it's not part of the respiratory system. It's not accomplishing the goal of respiration. Whereas if we talk about the mouth and salivary glands, this would be be digestive system. It's where you take in food. And then of course, the salivary glands release those enzymes that begin to break food down in the process. Of digestion. So we've already got an incorrect answer, but we'll go through and look at our other answer choices to be thorough here. Choice B is brain and spinal cord nervous system and yes, those are organs of the nervous system. So not our answer. Choice. C heart and blood vessels, cardiovascular system. And that is correct, accomplishing that task of circulating blood through the body and choice, the stomach and gallbladder, digestive system. And that again is also a correct statement. Those are organs of the digestive system. So not the answer we're looking for. So again, the incorrect statement, uh the the or the incorrect pair pairing of organ and organ systems is choice a mouth and salivary glands, respiratory system. See you in the next video.
