What two systems work together to break down and digest food?
(1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go. (2) Filters out waste from food and pushes it through intestines and out the body (and you know how and where it gets out).
What 2 systems work closely with the digestive system?
Your digestive system absorbs water and nutrients from the food you eat. Your circulatory system carries oxygen, water, and nutrients to cells throughout your body. Wastes from the cells are eliminated by your respiratory system, your excretory system, and your skin.
How does the digestive system break down food?
As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body.
What is the duodenum?
(DOO-ah-DEE-num) The first part of the small intestine. It connects to the stomach. The duodenum helps to further digest food coming from the stomach. It absorbs nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and water from food so they can be used by the body.
What are 3 body systems that work together?
The digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems work together to remove waste from the body while also absorbing necessary nutrients and compounds. Your circulatory system carries vital nutrients to the skeletal and muscular systems.
How does the respiratory and circulatory system work together?
The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.
What are the organ systems involved in digestion of food which we eat?
The human body uses the process of digestion to break down food into a form that can be absorbed and used for fuel. The organs of the digestive system are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine and anus.
What helps break down food in the mouth?
A digestive enzyme in saliva called amylase (pronounced: AH-meh-lace) starts to break down some of the carbohydrates (starches and sugars) in the food even before it leaves the mouth. Swallowing, done by muscle movements in the tongue and mouth, moves the food into the throat, or pharynx (pronounced: FAIR-inks).
What is the jejunum?
(jeh-JYOO-num) The middle part of the small intestine. It is between the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) and the ileum (last part of the small intestine). The jejunum helps to further digest food coming from the stomach.
How long is jejunum?
The jejunum is roughly 2.5 meters in length, contains plicae circulares (muscular flaps), and villi to absorb the products of digestion. The ileum is the final portion of the small intestine, measuring around 3 meters, and ends at the cecum.
The liver and pancreas are part of both the endocrine system and the digestive system.
What are 4 body systems that work together?
How do the two digestive systems work together?
SYSTEMS WORK TOGETHER!! These two systems work together in break down and move food through the gastrointestinal tract Nice work! You just studied 16 terms! Now up your study game with Learn mode.
Which two systems are involved in the elimination of metabolic waste?
Metabolic wastes are eliminated by these two systems. Digestive & Circulatory. These two systems act together to break down and distribute nutrients to cells. Respiratory & Circulatory. These two systems act together to bring in and distribute oxygen to the cells.
How do the two systems of the skin work together?
These two systems act together to break down and distribute nutrients to cells. These two systems act together to bring in and distribute oxygen to the cells. These systems work together as your skin senses the outside world. These two systems work together to produce and transport hormones organs and tissues.
How do the two systems interact to maintain homeostasis?
Causes movement by pulling on the bones, stabilizes body position, and generates heat; each muscle is an organ. Q. These two systems interact to allow our bodies respond to the environment and to maintain homeostasis. (Hint – they both send messages and one is fast, one is slow)
