Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The respiratory system brings oxygen into the lungs when you breathe. The digestive system breaks food down into nutrients such as glucose. Now the circulatory system enters the picture. It transports glucose and other nutrients from the digestive system to the cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
