describe the how the circulatory system that utilizes a gastrointestinal system functionsin a) delivering oxygen and nutrients and b) getting rid of CO2 and wastes
Circulatory system and digestive system. Systems of the body are made by the organ. The each organ is made of up of different tissue and the tissue is made of cells and each cells in the body need oxygen and nutrition in order to carry out function. The nutrition and oxygen is supplied by the circulatory function. Circulatory system depends on the digestive system function for the activities. The most of the nutrients are absorbed from the gastrointestinal system mostly small intestine under influence of many enzyme throughout the process
Delivering oxygen and nutrients: when the food is consumed into the digestive system, it breaks down into the small molecules. Carbohydrates as monosaccharide, proteins as amino acids, fats as fatty acids, vitamins, minerals are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in to the capillaries. Fluids which are consumed by the mouth, absorbed into circulatory tract.
Oxygen is carried out by the hemoglobin content of the red blood cells. Each hemoglobin finds to four hemoglobin for transport. Transport of oxygen is done by hemoglobin, but the hemoglobin is derived consumption of food. The iron content of food that reaches the gastrointestinal tract. Then it carries out circulatory system
Protein: the hemoglobin is the protein that helps to bind with oxygen in the red blood cells and carry out to the circulatory system. The protein is derived from the foods. The protein that helps in the osmotic pressure while exchange of the oxygen and carbon dioxide. When the osmotic pressure is low, delivering of oxygen and nutrient are taken place and when osmotic pressure is high; delivering of carbon dioxide and waste are occur.
Carbohydrate, protein and fat are energy source, it is simplified before transporting to the circulatory and provides energy source to each cell
Electrolyte: the function of each cell is maintained by the electrolytes. The food is absorbed into gastrointestinal tract and electrolyte is absorbed into circulatory system. Then it supplies to each cell. Because each cell has sodium, potassium and calcium in intracellular and extra cellular cation. Sodium plays a role as extracellular cation whereas Intracellular cation is potassium. These electrolytes help in maintaining homeostasis.
The water is consumed through the gastro intestinal tract and then it become absorbed into the circulatory system and maintains the hydration status of each cell.
The oxygen and nutrition transport and exchange in the capillaries. When the arterial end of capillaries pressure is high, it removes oxygen and nutrition to the cells by means of higher osmotic pressure and low osmotic pressure
Removal of waste and CO2:
The osmotic pressure is maintained by the protein mainly albumin. The carbon dioxide and waste from the cells to venous end when the osmotic pressure is high. If the protein is not supplied by the gastrointestinal tract, osmotic pressure cannot be maintained. Then the stagnation of carbon dioxide and waste could develop.
The cells has extracellular cation and intracellular cation, helps in maintaining homeostasis. If the nutrition and oxygen has not been supplied by the gastrointestinal system, there is imbalance of fluid shift between cellsa nd tissue anoxia occurs
Transport of co2 and waste. The waste and co2 from cells are removed from the body by means of circulatory system and circulatory system depends on protein which maintains osmotic pressure. When the hydrostatic pressure of arterial end is low, osmotic pressure is high, and then the carbodioxide and waste are removed from the cells
When the oxygen and nutrient is very important in each organ and each part of the body for carrying out function. It is carried by the arteries throughout the body. After delivering the oxygen and nutrition, the carbon dioxide and waste removed by the veins of the body. Therefore, cardiovascular system is depend on the digestive tract.
