What happen if the digestive system was not function?
The digestive system is what converts regular food that we eat into useful form of nutrients which can be used by the rest of the body. Without these nutrients, the other organs would eventually shut down and die. The body does have the capability to convert energy from fat cells for use in the rest of the body. I'm not sure if this is a function of the digestive system, though.
How does the circulatory and digestive system depend on each other?
when the food gets digested it goes to small intestine then inside the small intestine there is the villi these absorb the nutrients(carbohydrates,proteins,fats) and then sent to the blood stream (circulatory system) and in the large intestine the water is absorb and sent to the blood stream
How does the digestive system meets the needs of the body?
The digestive system breaks down food that you eat. As it moves through the digestive system, the nutrients in the foods (ex. proteins, vitamins, etc.)are taken out and the rest is excreted. The digestive system gives you your energy and your nutrients. Without it, the food that you eat wouldn't be put to use. If you don't have a good, healthy digestive system, your digestive organs will not function as well and you will not receive all of the nutrients possible.
How does the digestive system affect the rest of the body?
The body get its energy from the processes of the digestive system.
How do rest and recreation affect your body?
the body get its energy from the processes of the digestive system.
How does the digestive system worksheet together with the circulatory system to keep your body healthy?
From what i can gather, the digestive system provides the circulatory system with all the nutrients the blood and body need. The digestive system provides the body with energy from food and that energy feeds the muscles surrounding the heart.
How is the digestive system vital to the human body?
The Digestive System is vital to the human body becasue it breaks down all of the food we eat into molecules. These molecules can then be absorbed into the bloodstream eventually to be used by the cells. The digestive system is made up of many different organs, all of which help with the process of taking the nutrients out of the food we eat, and turning it into energy for our bodies cells. Once all the nutrients has been transfered into energy and stored into the cells of the body, the undigestable food is then passed through the anus as faeces.
What is the ingestion or manufacture of food?
Most of the absorption of food in the body takes place in the small intestine. Nutrients and minerals are absorbed and unusable matter passes through the rest of the digestive system.
How is the mouth cavity connected to the rest of the body?
The oral cavity, or mouth, is connected the the rest of the digestive system via the pharynx.
How the circulatory system work without the digestive system?
The Circulatory System works with the Digstive System in several ways. One of them being that the digestive system breaks down food to get the nutrients, where it is then sent to the ileum (small intestine) to be absorbed by the villi that cover the walls of the ileum. In the villi there is a capillary that absorbs the nutrients into the lood stream and the blood then distributes these nutrients (or energy) around the body because of the pumping action of the heart. Hope this helps a bit :)
Were does the blood take oxygen and nutrients?
To the rest of the body. It exchanges the gasses and nutrients with the rest of the body at the capillaries.
