Detailed explanation-1: -The small intestine absorbs most of the nutrients in your food, and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use. Special cells help absorbed nutrients cross the intestinal lining into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -(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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The heart, blood and blood vessels work together to service the cells of the body. Using the network of arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients and delivers them to every cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The portion of the circulatory system that carries nutrient-rich blood from the intestines to the liver is the hepatic portal system.

Detailed explanation-5: -The food is digested in the small intestine. It’s dissolved by the juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine. The contents of the intestine are mixed and pushed forward to allow further digestion. Last, the digested nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls.
