Solution

1. Respiratory system: The respiratory system (airways and lungs) works closely with the digestive system, as it provides oxygen for the complete breakdown of food in the body.

2. Circulatory system: The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients that are transported to all parts of the body through the circulatory system. Thus, the body derives energy from the nutrients absorbed to carry out various life processes.
