Question

Sammi is studying the interaction of the digestive and circulatory systems in the human body. She has listed

processes that occur in each of the systems. Put the processes in order to describe the interaction between these

two systems.

Answer 1

Incomplete question. The remaining part of the question read;

Put the processes in order to describe the interaction between these  two systems.

• Then Blood is pumped through the circulatory system to deliver nutrients to other organs.
• Digestive processes break nutrients down in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.
• Nutrients are ingested at the mouth. Nutrients enter the capillaries of the circulatory system.
• Nutrients diffuse through the villi of the small intestine.

Explanation:

The correct order of processes:

1. Nutrients are ingested at the mouth.
2. Digestive processes break nutrients down in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.
3. Nutrients diffuse through the villi of the small intestine.
4. Nutrients enter the capillaries of the circulatory system.
5. Then, Blood is pumped through the circulatory system to deliver nutrients to other organs.

So, the first sequence begins when nutrients from the food we eat enter the mouth. Our digestive system begins to work as we chew the food using our teeth. When the food is swallowed into the stomach the digestive process continues until nutrients contained in the food are then diffused or absorbed by the Villi; a part of our small intestine, to be used by other body organs. Then, Blood is pumped through the circulatory system to deliver nutrients to other organs.
