The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract-a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus-and other organs that help the body break down and absorb food. Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine-also called the colon-rectum, and anus. Inside these hollow organs is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. The digestive tract also contains a layer of smooth muscle that helps break down food and move it along the tract. Two "solid" digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver's digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Parts of the nervous and circulatory systems also play major roles in the digestive system.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it necessary that blood is pumped to the digestive system?
Blood has to be pumped to the digestive system so that carbon dioxide can be extracted from it. The blood can also absorb nutrients that have just been collected from the digestive system.
What part of the alimentary canal absorbs nutrients?
The part of the digestive system that absorbs nutrients is the small intestines. They absorb essential nutrients from food into the blood stream.
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
What does the blood pick up the digestive system?
Nutrients
What does blood pick up from the digestive system?
Nutrients
What is a finger shaped projection in the digestive system that helps absorb food in to the blood stream?
The finger-shaped projections in the digestive system that help absorb food into the bloodstream are called villi. They are found in the small intestine and increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients from digested food. Villi have specialized cells that facilitate the absorption of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into the blood or lymphatic system.
What system supplies blood with glucose and other nutrients?
the digestive system
Blood picks up what from the digestive system and take it to the cell?
The circulatory system picks up nutrients from the digestive system and takes them to the cells. Absorption is the process of moving the nutrients from the digestive system to the circulatory system.
What does blood pick up from the digestive system and takes to cells?
The circulatory system picks up nutrients from the digestive system and takes them to the cells. Absorption is the process of moving the nutrients from the digestive system to the circulatory system.
How do the digestive and skeletal system work together?
The digestive system provides essential calcium requirements and other nutrients the skeletal system needs. The skeletal and digestive system are connected because they skeletal system makes the blood and if the skeleton can't make the bone the nutrients can't go to every part of our body.
Does the circulatory system moves the nutrients absorbed by the digestive system to the cells in your body?
Yes, nutrients absorbed by the digestive system are transported around the body by the blood of the circulatory (or cardiovascular) system.
Nutrients travel from the digestive system to each cell of the body in the of blood?
Plasma in the blood.
