Explanation: 

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 digestive system breaks down food to release nutrients. Here, your body removes nutrients it needs from food, and sends the nutrients to parts of the body through the circulatory system. Finally, the digested food is sent to the large intestine, out of your body… and beyond!

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
