The correct answer is the nervous system.
The body system that interacts with the one shown in the image to let you know that you are hungry is the nervous system.
To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the process of hunger. When you feel hungry, it is your body's way of signaling that it needs nourishment. This signal is initiated by the digestive system, which produces hormones that stimulate the sensation of hunger. These hormones are then detected by specialized nerve cells, known as hunger receptors, in the stomach and intestines.
Once these hunger receptors are activated, they send signals to the brain through the nervous system. The brain interprets these signals and generates the sensation of hunger, prompting you to eat.
Therefore, the nervous system collaborates with the digestive system to inform you that you are hungry.
