DIGESTIVE AND URINARY SYSTEMS

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

• Starts in the mouth and is mechanically digested
• Then food slides down the esophagus and is filtered by the epiglottis
• Food slides down into stomach where most of the chemical digestion happens
• Then food slides down into the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed
• Next the food is then moved into the large intestine

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

• Absorbing nutrients
• Removing waste
• Secretion
• Taking in food
• Mixing and moving food through the body

URINARY SYSTEM

• Kidneys break down liquid and filter nutrients into blood
• Then urine travels through the ureters into the bladder
• Bladder stores liquid until its time to come out
• Liquid waste exits the bladder
• Liquid waste comes out the urethra

URINARY SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

• Remove liquid waste from blood
• Maintain acid balance in body
• Maintain fluid balance in body
• Control blood volume
• Formation of urine

DIGESTIVE + URINARY SYSTEM

• Both systems work together to remove waste from body
• Both systems maintain glucose levels with the kidneys, and the liver.
• Liquid from the intestines travels into the blood and to the kidney to be filtered
