How does the muscular system help out the digestive system?
Smooth muscle allows organs to contract to push food through the esophagus, stomach and intestines
400
What is the main function of the large intestine?
To absorb excess water from undigested food
400
How does the circulatory system work with the excretory system? Think about how urine is made!
Kidneys filter blood to remove waste and eliminate it out of the body in urine
400
How does the respiratory system work with the circulatory system?
Blood carries oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the lungs
500
How does the skeletal system help out the circulatory system?
Bones produce blood cells and the rib cage protects the heart
500
How does the muscular system help the circulatory system?
The heart is a muscle made of cardiac tissue Blood vessels are lined with smooth muscle to push blood through
500

What is the function of the veins?

they carry blood back to the heart

500

How does the circulatory system work with the digestive system?

The blood carries nutrients absorbed from digested food

500
What do breathing with lungs and cellular respiration that takes place in the mitochondria of cells have in common?
Both involve gas exchange, breathing is the inhale and exhale of the lungs (whole organism) Cellular respiration is using oxygen to break down sugar to create energy, carbon dioxide and water (each tiny cell)
