MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The circulatory system is responsible for the flow of blood throughout the body, and in doing so, ensuring each part of the body obtains the necessities for activity, whereas the digestive system is responsible for the ingestion, break down, absorption, and excretion of nutrients and minerals.

Detailed explanation-4: -As food is digested, blood flows through the capillaries in the intestines. These tubes pick up nutrients. These include glucose (sugar), vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are sent to the body tissues by the blood.
