Body Systems Cloze Exercise

Read the passage. Use the word bank to complete the cloze questions, then solve the body-systems clues. Use each word from the word bank once. Word bank: heart, pump, blood, oxygen, stomach, digest, nutrients, energy, muscles, contract.

A Body at Work

During a bike ride, several body systems work together. The circulatory system moves blood around the body. The heart pumps blood through blood vessels, and the blood carries oxygen from the lungs to body cells. Cells use oxygen and nutrients to release energy. The digestive system breaks food into smaller parts. The stomach helps break down food. Nutrients from digested food pass into the blood and travel to cells. Muscles help the rider pedal. Their repeated contractions move the rider's legs. The heart is a muscle too, and its steady contractions keep blood moving.
