Food and nutrients in blood give energy to the muscles The liver removes waste products from the blood Blood brings important nutrients from food (like calcium) to the bones 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. Nutrients from food are provided for bones (calcium for strong bones) muscles of the respiratory system need energy from digested food in order to function Blood, oxygen, and food are pumped to the muscles Muscles of the digestive system need oxygen to function Diaphragm, an involuntary muscle, forces breath in and out When there is a tear or injury in muscle nerves send messages to the brain digestive system sends messages to brain when your hungry or full
