How does the digestive system work with the other systems?
(1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go. (2) Filters out waste from food and pushes it through intestines and out the body (and you know how and where it gets out).
How does the digestive and urinary system work together?
The urinary system works as a filter, removing toxins and wastes from your body through urine. It uses a series of tubes and ducts to pass this waste. These tubes are connected to your blood vessels and digestive system. Your urinary system helps the rest of your body work properly.
What does the digestive system help your body produce?
The digestive system converts the foods we eat into their simplest forms, like glucose (sugars), amino acids (that make up protein) or fatty acids (that make up fats). The broken-down food is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and the nutrients are carried to each cell in the body.
What body system supports the digestive system?
Learning Objectives
| Contribution of Other Body Systems to the Digestive System | |
|---|---|
| Body system | Benefits received by the digestive system |
| Muscular | Skeletal muscles support and protect abdominal organs |
| Nervous | Sensory and motor neurons help regulate secretions and muscle contractions in the digestive tract |
How important it is for the different system to work together?
Just as the organs in an organ system work together to accomplish their task, so the different organ systems also cooperate to keep the body running. For example, the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce.
What are the six functions of the digestive system?
The six major activities of the digestive system are ingestion, propulsion, mechanical breakdown, chemical digestion, absorption, and elimination. First, food is ingested, chewed, and swallowed.
What is systems work very closely with the digestive system?
The digestive system works very closely with the circulatory system to get the absorbed nutrients distributed through your body. While the digestive system collects and removes undigested solids, the excretory system filters compounds from the blood stream and collects them in urine. Complete answer to this is here.
What system aids the digestive system?
Pancreas: an organ that aids in both the digestive system and the endocrine system. It aids in the digestive system by producing pancreatic juices, which contain digestive enzymes, which pass through the small intestine. These juices help break down carbohydrates, protien and fat in the chyme.
What other systems does the digestive system depend on?
The digestive tract is dependent upon the respiratory system, because your digestive tract functions by using muscular contractions to break up food and move it along the tract.
