    The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients that the body can use through both mechanical and chemical digestion processes. Respiration brings oxygen into the body through the respiratory system where it is transported through the circulatory system to cells and is used for energy production, expelling carbon dioxide as a waste product. The circulatory system carries oxygenated blood throughout the body and deoxygenated blood back to the lungs for expiration in a continuous cycle that supports the function of all body systems and structures.

    • Digestion is the process of
    Breaking down food into Nutrients
    that the body can use.
    The primary functions of the gastrointestinal
    system are:

    • The digestion and absorption of food and its nutrients.


    • Elimination of waste products.

    The nutrients absorbed by the intestinal wall are


    essential for the function of all body systems
    and structures.
    Digestion
    Digestion begins in the oral cavity.
    There are two parts to digestion (Turley, 2007)

    Mechanical Chemical

    Mastication Amylase

    Hydrochlori
    Deglutition
    c acid

    Peristalsis Pepsinogen

    Gastrin

    • Chemical digestion is completed in • Undigested food and water move

    alveoli and into the blood.
    Internal Respiration
    • Oxygen molecules enter the cells and are used to produce energy for
    the cells. This process is also called metabolism.

    • Carbon dioxide leaves the cells and enter the blood, travels back through
    the heart and into the lungs where it is expelled.
    Circulation
    Heart: The heart pumps blood
    through the arteries and the
    pulmonary system

    Arteries: Arteries and arterioles


    carry oxygenated blood to all
    body systems and structures.

    Veins and Capillaries: Carry the


    blood back to the heart.
    Cardiopulmonary Circulation
    Systemic Circulation Pulmonary circulation

    Digestion
    The nutrients absorbed by the intestinal wall are essential for the function of all body
    systems and structures.

    Respiration
    Respiration brings oxygen into the body where it is transported to the cells and are used
    to produce energy and to expel carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism.

    Circulation
    The circulatory system carries the oxygenated blood cells through out the body delivering
    energy to all body systems and structures and carries carbaminohemoglobin back to the
    lungs for expiration.
