Oxygen and particles of digested food get into the cells from the small intestine, from there they drain into the hepatic portal vein. The hepatic portal vein goes to the liver to filter out nutrients required and excesses are metabolized and converted.

What do the arteries contain?
Arteries contain digested food and is rich in oxygen. Edit (Wolf5370): Completely incorrect. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart (under pressure as they are under direct pressure from the heart). They delivery oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body.
Blood receive oxygen in the?
Blood gets oxygen in the cells. This is part of the body system.
How is the blood different in the arteries going out to body cells compared to the blood coming back to the heart from the body cells?
I'm no anonomy expert, but the blood carried from the heart to the body is oxygen rich while the blood coming from the body has had it's oxygen absorbed so it goes through the heart to the lungs, where it gets oxygen, back to the heart and out to the body again.
Blood comes from the heart to lungs to have what done?
To get rid of the carbon dioxide produced in the cells of your body, and to get new oxygen to transport to your cells.
Some babies are born with an opening between the left and right ventricles of the heart How would this heart deffect affect the ability of the cardiovascular system to deliver oxygen to body cells?
It would affect it because the body cells would not be getting oxygen.
How do you call the process where digested food and oxygen are distributed to the body cells?
circulation
The respiratory system complements the digestive system in that the body cells use the oxygen to create energy from digested food?
True .
Where in the human body cillia move substances?
The respiratory system is loaded with ciliated cells which move trapped particles up towards the throat where they can be swallowed and digested.
What carrys oxygen to your body's cells?
The blood carries oxygen around your body and to the body's cells.
How does circulation of the blood help the cells?
It supplies Oxygen to the cells and tissues and excrete Carbondioxide from them
Why is the heart important to human health?
Simply saying heart is a pumping organ , which pumps blood into the whole part of the body. The oxygen from lungs dissolve in it and the cells get oxygen through this circulation of blood. Food get digested and cells get food through the blood. thus the cells live with the help of heart. Our body is made up of cells and the cells live with the help of heart means the whole body live with the help of heart
Does the circulatory system carry nutrients to the cells?
No, lymph doesn't do that. Blood (specifically red blood cells), a part of the cardiovascular system, carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
In the human body digested food is transported to cells by what system?
digestive
Digested foods are transported to the body cells by what?
aerobic celular respiration
How does the digested food reach the body cells?
Nutrients are carried by the blood.
Why carbon monoxide in the air a problem?
When you breath in the carbon monoxide particles stick to your red blood cells instead of oxygen, so your body essentially becomes starved of oxygen.
What carry's oxygen to cells?
Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body and to the cells.
