How it works with other systems
- It works with the Muscular system because of the jaw muscles, which initiate the digestion process.
- Works with the Nervous system because impulses are sent to the brain/muscles to make digestion actions.
- Woks with the Circulatory system because the digestive system produces compounds that are absorbed by the body cells carried through out the circulatory system.
