Which statements describe how systems interact to produce the fight-or-flight response?​Select the two correct answers.   A The digestive system interacts with the excretory system, supplying hormones to slow the production of urine.   B The endocrine system floods the circulatory system with hormones that affect several other body systems.   C The endocrine system supplies the lungs with insulin, allowing increased absorption of oxygen.   D The digestive system creates hormones that are sent to the muscular system, resulting in increased blood flow to muscles.   E The muscular system sends receptors to the circulatory system to increase blood pressure and heart rate.   F The circulatory system experiences a change in blood flow, which allows the muscular system to obtain additional glucose.
