Explain How The Cardiovascular And The Digestive System Interrelate To Perform Energy Metabolism

Analyse how the cardiovascular and the digestive system interrelate to perform energy metabolism.

Energy is used up all the time for body processes. Energy starts at conception and continues to carry on until you die. The amount of energy you need depends upon your age, sex and your level of activity. Food provides the energy we use; our foods bring us the vital energy that our body is burning throughout the day. Body growth, development and functioning are some of the vital and fundamental aspects of life. They cannot be explained without referring to energy, fuel of life is dependent on energy transformations. Energy assumes several forms; it may be thermal (which is in the form of heat), electrical, mechanical, chemical, radiant, or kinetic.
Potential Energy is stored energy. Examples of potential energy are oil sitting in a bucket, or water in a river in the mountains. This energy is referred to as potential energy, because if it were released, it would do a lot of work. Energy can change from one form to another. A good example is a Roller Coaster. When it is on its way up, it is using kinetic energy since the energy is in motion. When it reaches the top it has potential energy. When it goes down the hill it is using kinetic energy again, this is a simple easy understanding of how they change from one from to another. An example of potential energy within the body lays in adipose tissue, potential energy waiting to be used during exercise, such as running or kicking a ball. Kinetic energy is physical movement in the body every moving objects has kinetic energy. The more mass an object has the faster it moves the kinetic energy it has. Kinetic energy can also be transferred from one body to another in a collision, which can be elastic or inelastic. One example of an elastic collision would be one billiard ball striking another. Ignoring the friction between the balls and the table or any spin imparted to the cue ball, ideally the total kinetic energy of the two balls after the collision is equal to the kinetic energy of the cue ball before the collision. An example of kinetic energy is while we go to sleep our body is at rest, our heart
This process is called digestion. It takes place in your digestive tract or gut, which is a long tube with muscly walls that runs from your mouth to your bottom which is called your anus. Some parts of your digestive system mash up food physically, just like a food processor. Your mouth breaks down food into tiny junks. Your stomach then churns these around until they form a slushy liquid. Some digestive organs also release juices that contain enzymes. These are special chemicals that speed up processes in the body and which, in the digestive tract, break down substances in food. Digestive enzymes turn large food molecules into small food molecules that are absorbed into your
