Answer:

I am assuming the question is asking how do the processes relate to one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ventilation happens in the lungs, where carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged in the alveoli. This is done via cappilaries that surround the alveoli. Cappilaries are small blood vessels, which are collecitelvy part of the blood flow system (circulation) of the body. In reguards to the digestion, there are capillaries in the vili (which are tiny finger-like structures) so that they can pick up the nutrients during digestion. Another way blood flow and digestion are connected is because the stomach is a muscle, thus is moves and requires energy. That energy comes from the oxygen and nutrients that is supplied by the blood. These are just some examples.
