Question: Kendall studied the ways in which human body systems work together. He compared the respiratory and circulatory systems. In which way are these two systems similar to each other?
Answer: They both bring oxygen to the body.
Hypothesis: the respiratory system and circulatory system are similar because they bring oxygen to the body
Supporting facts: sent1: if a part of a system performs a function then that system performs that function through that part sent2: bringing oxygen to the body is a kind of function sent3: lungs are used for breathing air by land animals / birds sent4: to transfer something somewhere can mean to bring something somewhere sent5: the respiratory system transfers oxygen to the circulatory system sent6: organ system means body system sent7: take in oxygen means get oxygen into the blood sent8: the lungs are a part of the respiratory system sent9: to transfer means to bring / to get something to sent10: blood is a vehicle for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body sent11: breathing in is when animals inhale air into their lungs sent12: if two things perform the same function then those two things are similar sent13: transferring is similar to giving sent14: to transfer is similar to transport sent15: breathing is when a lung converts from oxygen in air into oxygen in blood sent16: the lungs are a part of the body of an animal used for breathing air sent17: similar means in common sent18: both means two sent19: the circulatory system transports blood throughout the body sent20: if something is transported to something else then that something else receives that something sent21: the absorption of oxygen through the blood occurs in the lungs sent22: breathing is when animals convert oxygen into carbon dioxide sent23: transferring is similar to supplying sent24: distributing is similar to carrying sent25: blood absorbs oxygen in the lungs
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] the lungs are a part of the body of an animal used for breathing air [AND] the absorption of oxygen through the blood occurs in the lungs [INFER] int1: the lungs bring in oxygen from the air [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] bringing oxygen to the body is a kind of function [INFER] int2: the lungs perform the function of bringing in oxygen from the air [BECAUSE] if a part of a system performs a function then that system performs that function through that part [AND] the lungs are a part of the respiratory system [INFER] int3: if the lungs perform a function then the respiratory system performs that function through the lungs [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int3 [INFER] int4: the respiratory system takes in oxygen from the air through the lungs [BECAUSE] to transfer something somewhere can mean to bring something somewhere [AND] the respiratory system transfers oxygen to the circulatory system [INFER] int5: the respiratory system brings oxygen to the circulatory system [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] int5 [INFER] int6: the respiratory system brings oxygen from the air to the circulatory system [BECAUSE] blood is a vehicle for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body [AND] the circulatory system transports blood throughout the body [INFER] int7: the circulatory system brings oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] int7 [INFER] int8: the respiratory system and the circulatory system both work to bring oxygen from the air to the rest of the body [BECAUSE] if two things perform the same function then those two things are similar [AND] bringing oxygen to the body is a kind of function [INFER] int9: if two things both bring oxygen to the body then those two things are similar [BECAUSE] int8 [AND] int9 [INFER] int10: the respiratory system and circulatory system are similar because they bring oxygen to the body
