Which organ system is used in enteral nutrition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Digestive system
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients through the gastrointestinal tract, which is the digestive system. The nutrients may be taken by mouth or delivered through a tube into the stomach or intestine, but they still use the gut for digestion and absorption. Respiratory, skin, and hair systems are not enteral routes, so option C is correct.
