Best answer

(1) The digestive system breaks down the food into nutrients. 

(2) The transfer of food particles from the digestive system to the circulatory system takes place at the inner lining of the small intestine, through millions of finger-like projections called villi, which contain a network of capillaries. 

(3) The transfer of food particles is possible because of absorption. 

(4) Circulatory system transports the nutrients to different cells of the body.
