10-Month-Old Revived Twice After Being Exposed to Fentanyl
Authorities in Massachusetts say a 10-month-old baby had to be revived twice after she was exposed to fentanyl.
Police arrived at the Methuen (mih-THOO'-uhn) residence early Saturday afternoon after receiving a report of a child not breathing.
First responders took the child to Lawrence General Hospital, where police say she stopped breathing twice and had to be resuscitated. She was later airlifted to Tufts Medical Center in Boston, where she's in stable condition.
Authorities say hospital tests indicate the baby had the potent synthetic opioid fentanyl (FEHN'-tuh-nihl) in her system.

取り上げる単語は"system"です。
「組織、制度、体系」などの意味が一般的ですが、ここでは違う意味で使われています。
『ジーニアス英和辞典』第4版(大修館)で確認してみると、第4語義に「身体、体」という意味がありました。
