How do the Digestive, Circulatory , and the Respiratory System work together to perfom cellular respiration?My liv env hw is about how the Circulatory System, Digestive System, and Respiratory System interact with each other to perfom cellular respiration. Please answer this and be specific! Try making it a paragraph or longer! In need help!?

IThe digestive system breaks down food using various enzymes (e.g. amylase) which break down starch into glucose.
This glucose is then absorbed into the circulatory system via the small intestine (villi). Once the glucose is in the circulatory system it can now access all over the body.
Respiration is the release of energy from food..... well the glucose of the food. It can be aerobic or anaerobic, aerobic provides ~20 times more energy (ATP).
The respiratory system is the lungs- these effect the cellular respiration by providing the oxygen via the red blood cells in the circulatory system. For aerobic cellular respiration you need the glucose from the digestive system, the oxygen from the circulatory system and the circulatory system to transport both of these to every cell in the body.

How about, read your textbook and do your own homework. Geez.
