How does the circulatory system interact with the digestive system ?

Biology

Alexandra [31]3 years ago

The digestive system breaks down food molecules into their component parts, which are then absorbed by the circulatory system in the small intestine and circulated throughout the body. The digestive system diffuses nutrients into the capillaries and then through the circulatory system. The small intestine has folds called villi, and the villi contain tiny projections called microvilli. The microvilli absorb nutrients from digested food and transport it directly into the bloodstream where it can be used. Without the circulatory system, the body would not be able to absorb nutrients from the food we eat.

The circulatory system supplies the organs with blood and oxygen to keep them alive. Oxygen travels throughout the body including the digestive system. Like any organ, the digestive system requires more oxygen when metabolically active, for example after a meal. In addition, the digestive system plays a role in the acid-base balance in the body. Since H+ + HC03- exchanges with H20 and C02 within the intestine there is a production of carbon dioxide from the gut to the lungs.

The bloodstream carries nutrients that are broken by the digestive system from the food you eat. The circulatory system provides nutrients and oxygen to the organs of the digestive system.

raketka [301]

Answer:

The glyptodon is found to be similar to the armadillo.

Explanation:

A piece of evidence that supports the theory of evolution is that the glyptodon is found to be similar to the armadillo. Glyptodons and armadillos have many things in common, expect that glyptodons are much larger (the size of a Volkswagen beetle!) than an armadillo. The change from the prehistoric glyptodon to our modern day armadillo helps support that there is evolution because they still have many things in common. They are genetically related.
