People choke when food particles enter the airway, specifically the trachea, instead of the esophagus. This can obstruct airflow, making it difficult to breathe and potentially leading to asphyxiation. Choking often occurs when food is not chewed properly or when a person eats too quickly. Immediate intervention, such as the Heimlich maneuver, may be necessary to dislodge the obstruction.

How do the circulatory and digestive system work together to deliver food to all of the cells of the body?

Digestive system brakes down the food to elementary particles. These are absorbed in the blood stream. These elementary food particles pass to body via circulatory system. At the proximal end of the capillaries food particles enter the interstitial compartment. They go to each and every body cell. Body cells then utilize the food particles, as per need.
