Hi, everyone. Let's look at our next question. The respiratory system is responsible for a promoting growth and development. B, the exchange of gasses between the body and the environment. D excreting salt and urea or D supporting and protecting the internal organs. So when we think about the respiratory system, hopefully it's pretty easy to pick choice B the exchange of gasses between the body and the environment, maintaining normal cellular function by the intake I 02 and the release of CO two. So let's just look briefly at our other answer. Choices, choice, a promoting growth and development. That would be the endocrine system. So that's not what we're looking for. So I see excreting salt and urea would be the urinary and integumentary systems. So not our answer. And then finally, choice D supporting and protecting the internal organs would be the skeletal system so we can eliminate that. So once again, the respiratory system responsible for choice B the exchange of gasses between the body and the environment. See you in the next video.
