Insights Human Body Systems

What does the digestive system do? How does it work?

How is food turned into substances that can be used by the cell?

NSES (5-8): The human organism has systems for digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, excretion, movement, control and coordination, and for protection from disease. The systems interact with one another.

6C(6-8)#2: For the body to use food for energy and building materials, the food must first be digested into molecules that are absorbed and transported to cells.
