• The respiratory system passes the oxigen in the takes
• from the air to the blood
• the circulator carries the nutrients and the oxigen to
• your cells
• the digestive trasfrom the food we eat into nutrients
• and passes them to the blood
The excretory consists of the urinary syste and the sweat
glands

tongue mixes it with saliva from salivary glands.

stomach.
3the stomach secretes substances called gastric juices, which are mixed
with the bolus and from a paste called chyme.
4chyme reaches the small intestine, where it mixes with other juices from
the páncreas, the liver and the small intestine itself, to become chyle.
5the remains of food that has not been absorben in the smaler intestien
continues its journey to the large intestin. There, wáter is absorbed and
the remains are tramsformed into faeces and wait in the rectum to be
expelled from the body through the anus.
