throughout the bloodstream

Floating topic

The brain muscle controls eating and
drinking behaviour. The digestive system sends sensory info to the brain.

Glucose manufactures energy for the cells, which is then delivered into the blood cells of the the cicrulatory system

Our body sends oxygen to our blood cells, without us even doing anything, and this all happens because of the brain

The heart is a major pathway for the
immune system cells to through into
the body

Bone marrow is where white cells grow

Movment of muscle help the lymph move
through the body
