Check understanding
- Describe how nutrients from digested food pass through the wall of the small intestine into the blood
- Explain that blood transports dissolved nutrients and water to all parts of the body
- Connect the digestive system and circulatory system as working together to deliver nourishment
“Can your child explain how the sandwich they ate at lunch actually gets to their muscles — from the stomach into the blood and then around the body?”
