It delivers oxygen to the cells of the body for metabolic processes.
C
It breaks down chemical substances into a form that is usable by the body.
D
It generates electrochemical signals so that the body can react to stimuli.

Explanation

Neurons are specialized nerve cells that receive and transmit electrochemical signals. These signals carry information between the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body, allowing the body to detect and respond to stimuli. Antibodies are made by immune cells, oxygen is carried mainly by red blood cells, and digestion is performed by the digestive system.
