There is around 4% of every breathe that the body intakes the oxygen is absorbed into the blood. There are two body systems that are involved in the getting the oxygen and energy into the blood‚ respiratory and digestive system. The role of a respiratory system goes through many steps before the oxygen gets into the blood. The first step is when the air enters the nose and mouth and travels down into through the pharynx‚ larynx and towards the trachea. After it pasts the trachea‚ the air will travel

Digestive System Digestive system includes the stomach‚ liver‚ pancreas‚ duodenum‚ ileum and colon. What is a Digestive system? Digestion is a breakdown and transportation of the solid and liquid food into microscopic substances therefore theses substances are then transported into different areas of the body The digestive system is a set of organs which transforms whatever we eat into substances that can be used in the body for energy‚ growth and repair. Once the food has been

for instance‚ into a blood stream. Digestion is a form of catabolism; a break down of macro food molecules to smaller ones. The digestive process also involves creating waste to be eliminated. The digestive track (gut) is a long twisting tube that starts in the mouth and ends at anus. It’s made up of a series of muscles that coordinate the movement of food and other cells that produce enzymes and hormones‚ to aid in the breakdown of food so then it can be absorbed to bloodstream. Along the way are

THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Functions of the Digestive System • Ingestion- where in food from outside of the body enters the alimentary tract through the mouth • Digestion- which could be mechanical (physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces or chemical (enzymatic action) • Absorption of digested materials into venous circulation as well as lymphatic capillaries • Provision of nutrients to the cells of the body • Elimination of undigested materials ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY OF THE DIGESTIVE

Purpose The digestive system prepares food for use by hundreds of millions of body cells. Food when eaten cannot reach cells (because it cannot pass through the intestinal walls to the bloodstream and‚ if it could would not be in a useful chemical state. The gut modifies food physically and chemically and disposes of unusable waste. Physical and chemical modification (digestion) depends on exocrine and endocrine secretions and controlled movement of food through the digestive tract. Mouth Mouth

The primary function of the digestive system is to break down food and help your body absorb the nutrients from this food. The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract‚ which includes the esophagus‚ stomach and intestines and other organs that aid in digestion such as the liver‚ pancreas and gall bladder. The breaking down of food for digestion begins in your mouth. As you eat something‚ your teeth break down the food‚ and your saliva helps to breakdown and it moistens the food so

The cardiovascular system is an organ system comprised of the heart‚ blood and blood vessels. The cardiovascular system forms a part of the circulatory system‚ which circulates blood‚ lymph and oxygen throughout the body. The cardiovascular system works in conjunction with the digestive system to move nutrients throughout the body‚ and is also closely related to nervous system function. Here are some facts and functions of the cardiovascular system. 1. The Heart is at the Center of the Cardiovascular

principal structure of the digestive system is an irregular tube‚ open at both ends‚ called the alimentary (al-i-MEN-tar-ee) canal or the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In the adult‚ this hollow tube is about 9 meters (29 feet) long Think of the tube as a passageway that extends through the body like a hallway through a building. Food must be broken down or digested and then absorbed through the walls of the digestive tube before it can actually enter the body and be used by cells The teeth are used to
