★Circulatory and Digestive System★

★How the Systems Interact★

Since the circulatory system pumps blood, when the blood reaches the digestive system it picks up the nutrients from you last meal. These systems need each other because the more food you digest the more nutrients the blood can carry and spread around to help with daily body functions

★Circulatory System★

★Diseases Related to the Circulatory System★

Heart attacks, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, heart failure, strokes etc.

The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body .

The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. Parts of the circulatory system include the heart, blood vessels, blood lymph and lymphatic vessels.

The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

★Digestive system★

★Diseases Related to the Digestive System★

Constipation, hemorrhoids, irritable bowl syndrome, stomach flu, gluten sensitivity, celiac disease etc.

★How Does it Work?★

Subtopic

5: Large Intestine, Rectum and Anus The large intestine (or colon) is a 5- to 7-foot long muscular tube that connects the small intestine to the rectum. It’s responsible for processing waste. On average, it takes about 36 hours for waste, or stool, to get through the colon and exit the rectum through the anus

4: Small Intestine Most nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, where food is broken down even more by enzymes released from the pancreas and bile from the liver. Anything left in the small intestine moves into the large intestine

3: Stomach Your stomach is where food is stored and further broken down by acid and powerful enzymes. From there, food moves into the small intestine.

2: Esophagus Next, it moves through your esophagus, which is the pipe that connects your mouth to your stomach. A process called peristalsis which is the tightening and relaxation of muscles in the intestine to transport food and waste products. It allows food to move more smoothly through the digestive tract.

1: Mouth/Salivary Glands To more easily absorb different foods, your saliva helps break down what you’re eating and turn it into chemicals called enzymes.

★What is it?★

The digestive system is the parts of the body that digest food. These parts include the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.

★What Does it Do?★

Your digestive system breaks nutrients into parts small enough for your body to absorb and use for energy, growth, and cell repair.
