The Digestive System
Part C
Digestion is the procedure of breaking down food into smaller parts. Most of the food humans consume should be digested into more basic parts, in order for it to be absorbed into the body and used within the body. Additionally, nutrients are the most important substances that allow the body to perform daily activities. Furthermore, carbohydrates, fats and proteins are the chief nutrients that the human body needs, in order to grow, repair, move, and maintain homeostasis. These nutrients are broken down and absorbed into the body at different rates, and into precise arrangements, as they travel through the organs throughout the digestive system.
• Carbohydrates are the body's preferred energy source, and are found in the forms of starch, sugar and fibre. Additionally, carbohydrates move into the small intestine, where enzymes released by the pancreas break those carbohydrates into simple forms, so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Lipids that are consumed, are mainly fats. …show more content…
The respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together to perform the gas exchange. Without gas exchange, the cells would die. Therefore, it is vital for these systems to work together. Through the respiratory system, oxygen enters the body, and then it is transported as oxyhaemoglobin to the cells, and this is with the help of the cardiovascular system. Additionally, the cardiovascular system also transports the waste. For example, carbon dioxide. The waste is transported to the respiratory system, which gets rid of unwanted substances. Furthermore, without the respiratory system, oxygen will not be able to enter the body, and it could not release the carbon dioxide waste. Therefore, without the cardiovascular system, the oxygen and carbon dioxide could not travel throughout the body, in order for us to
