How does the Digestive System work? Working Together

Digestion begins with chewing. Swallowed food
goes into the stomach. The stomach mixes food.
The food moves to the small intestine and becomes
liquid. Nutrients from the liquid are passed into
your blood.
The circulatory system and digestive system work
together. Blood vessels pick up nutrients in the small intestine.
Blood carries the nutrients through your blood vessels to the
rest of your body.

Salivary glands pump about three cups of saliva into your mouth every day. Saliva helps break down food. Once
you swallow the food, it takes about 10 seconds for it to reach your stomach.

 The Circulatory System
Adapted from PebbleGo

What is the Circulatory System? Parts of the Circulatory System

The circulatory system carries blood to every part
of your body. Your heart beats to pump blood throughout your
body. Blood helps your body to stay warm and to move.
The heart is a muscle inside your chest. Your
heart is joined to blood vessels. These thin tubes
take blood to all parts of your body. Arteries,
veins, and
capillaries are kinds of blood vessels.

How does the Circulatory System work? Working Together

The heart pulls in and pumps out blood. Arteries carry blood
away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart. Blood carries
oxygen and nutrients to your body parts. Blood also removes
waste from your body.
Every part of your body needs oxygen. Your
lungs
breathe in oxygen. Blood carries the oxygen to
all
parts of the body. The circulatory system helps
your body stay strong and healthy.

Did you know?

Your heart never stops pumping blood. It works all the time to move blood around your body. It pumps
all of your blood around your body about 1,000 times each day!
