Explanation:

• Diarrhea: The digestive system is responsible for processing food and absorbing nutrients. When there is an issue like diarrhea (frequent loose or watery stools), it indicates a failure in the digestive system's normal functioning (e.g., problems with absorption, secretion regulation in the intestines).
• Hypothermia: The nervous system (along with the endocrine system to some extent) plays a role in thermoregulation. The nervous system detects changes in body temperature (sensors in the skin and internal organs) and sends signals to initiate responses (e.g., shivering - muscle contractions to generate heat, vasoconstriction - reducing blood flow to the skin to conserve heat). If the nervous system fails to properly regulate these responses, hypothermia (abnormally low body temperature) can occur.
• Low blood oxygen: The respiratory system's main function is gas exchange (taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide). If there is a problem in the respiratory system (e.g., issues with lungs - like in pneumonia where gas exchange is impaired, or problems with the mechanics of breathing - like in some neuromuscular disorders affecting the diaphragm), it can lead to low blood oxygen levels.

Answer:

• Diarrhea - digestive system
• Hypothermia - nervous system
• Low blood oxygen - respiratory system
