The digestive system helps to maintain glucose levels in the blood in various ways. This is done mainly through the pancreas which will release glucagon that will help insulin to maintain the normal glucose levels.

Where do nutrients from the digestive system go?
Nutrients from the digestive system enter the circulatory system. From there, they are transported to all body cells.
How is digested food carried to your cells?
The digested food is in form of glucose which is broken down in mitochondria to release energy.
Where do all the nutrient go in the digestive system?
by blood to the liver to get cleaned ( from any poisonous substances) then again by blood to the cells hope i helped :D by hala saad
What organ does not need insulin?
Every organ is made up of many cells and each of these cells need glucose for the provision of energy. Glucose molecules cannot enter the cells however unless they are each joined with a molecule of insulin. This is why the blood glucose is raised with diabetes. No insulin, then no glucose entering the cells. Hope this helps.
The main function of the human digestive system is to-?
The primary function of the digestive system is to disassemble food we consume into its component molecules, so it can be used as energy for the body. There are many stages in the process of digestion.
How does the digestive system work with the respiratory system in sequence for respiration?
respiration and digestive systems are connected in many ways. respitory gives off oxygen which. gives in carbon dioxide which travels through the body and down to the lungs ( by the stomach)(above)blood flow
How does the digestive system and the circulatory system work in conjunction during digestion?
First, with the help of digestive system the food is broken down into smaller pieces which we eat and nutrients are separated which are further transported with the help of blood circulatory system.
How does food enter your blood system during the digestive system?
small intestine
What happens to most of the harmful bacteria the enter the digestive system?
They are destroyed
What part of the digestive system does food not enter?
Food does not ordinarily enter the appendix. If it does, it could lead to appendicitis.
What does 'villi' have to do with respiration?
Glucose is absorbed from the food in our small intestine. Inside the small intestine we have small finger like structures called villi. The glucose is absorbed by the villi. The glucose is absorbed (moves through) the villi and enter our blood system. Glucose is transported by our blood to all the cells in our bodies. Respiration takes place in our cells (in the mitochondria of cells). Respiration is where glucose (our bodies fuel) combines with oxygen (we breath in) to give us ENERGY, carbon dioxide and water.
Why is insulin so important to the body?
Insulin is important for the body because it helps glucose enter the body's cells. The glucose is then used for energy.
