Food and nutrients in blood give energy to the muscles Nutrients from food are provided for bones (calcium for strong bones) Diaphragm, an involuntary muscle, forces breath in and out muscles of the respiratory system need energy from digested food in order to function Oxygenated blood is pumped through the heart and then circulated through cells. Red blood cells move oxygen and carbon dioxide through the blood. Alveoli exchange gas with capillaries. Muscles of the digestive system need oxygen to function Brain regulates heart rate and blood pressure When there is a tear or injury in muscle nerves send messages to the brain The liver removes waste products from the blood Blood, oxygen, and food are pumped to the muscles digestive system sends messages to brain when your hungry or full Blood brings important nutrients from food (like calcium) to the bones
