Answer 1

Skeletal System: Provides nutrients for bone growth and repair Muscular System: Provide nutrients for muscles to do work Respiratory System: Provides diaphragm with nutrients in order to facilitate breathing half the equation for respiration Cardiovascular System: Provides heart with nutrients so it can keep beating Urinary System: Provides Nutrients so kidneys can clean blood of waste Nervous System: Provides energy for the brain to all the thinking and controlling all the other system

Digestive System-lnterconnections Intequmentary System Cardiovascular System The bloodstream carries absorbed nutrients to all body cells. Vitamin D activated in the skin plays a role in absorption of calcium from the digestive tract. Skeletal System Lymphatic System Bones are important in mastication The lymphatic system plays a major role in the absorption of fats Muscular System Respiratory System The digestive systenm Muscles are important in mastication, swallowing, and the mixing and moving of digestion products through the gastrointestinal tract. and the respiratory system share common anatomical structures. Nervous System Urinary System The nervous system The kidneys and liver work together to activate vitamin D Digestive can influence digestive system activity System The digestive system ingests, digests, and absorbs nutrients for use by all body cells.
