Insights Human Body Systems

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

How do the digestive and circulatory systems work together to get nutrients (food) to the cells?

How do the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to get oxygen to the cells?

6C(3-5)#1: From food, people obtain energy and materials for body repair and growth. The undigestible parts of food are eliminated.

6C(6-8)#3: ~~To burn food for the release of energy stored in it, oxygen must be supplied to the cells, and carbon dioxide removed~~ . Lungs take in oxygen ~~for the combustion of food~~ and they eliminate the carbon dioxide. ~~The urinary system disposes of dissolved waste molecules,~~ the intestinal tract removes solid wastes, ~~and the skin and lungs rid the body of heat energy~~. The circulatory system moves all these substances to or from cells where they are needed or produced, responding to changing demands.

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.
