New cards

function of circulatory

  • Function:  to transport water, nutrients, and waste to and from cells around the body.

    • Transports nutrients from digestive system

    • Transports oxygen and CO2 to and from lungs

    • Transports excess materials and waste to the excretory system

    • Transports hormones from the glands of the Endocrine System to different cells

2
New cards

three parts of circulatory system

blood, blood vessels, heart

3
New cards

blood

carries food, oxygen, waste through the body

4
New cards

blood vessels

routes blood travels

5
New cards

heart

pumps of pushes blood through body

6
New cards

red blood cells

  • Carry O2  to all parts of the body using a protein called hemoglobin


7
New cards

white blood cells

Fight and kill germs

8
New cards

plasma

  • Liquid part of blood (90% Water)

Carries much of the nutrients, water, and waste to different systems

9
New cards

platelets

10
New cards

three blood vessel

arteries, veins, capillaries

11
New cards

veins

  • Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the body.

12
New cards

capillaries

  • Smallest blood vessels

  • Connect the arteries and veins

responsible for the diffusion of O2 , CO2, nutrients and wastes to and from cells

13
New cards

arteries

Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to all parts of the body.

14
New cards

arterie

Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to all parts of the body.

15
New cards

parts of the excretory system

  • Lungs

  • Skin

  • Liver

  • Kidneys

16
New cards

lungs

  • Releases CO2, excess heat, and moisture


Blood containing CO2 is carried to the lungs 🡪 CO2 diffuses into lung tissue 🡪 you breathe out the CO2

17
New cards

skin

  • Removes excess salt, water, urea, and heat through sweat.

18
New cards

liver

  • Combines ammonia and CO2 to make urea which goes to the kidneys

Removal of various toxins (including drugs and alcohol)

19
New cards

kidneys

  • Cleans the blood by removing toxins, excess salts, glucose and water


Sends them to the bladder to be removed as urine

20
New cards

What is the bladder and what does it do?

A muscular organ that houses liquids from the kidneys temporarily 

21
New cards

how does the bladder signal to the brain when to urinate

As the Bladder fills the need to expel the urine is felt along the urethra that sends a signal to the brain 

22
New cards
23
New cards

what two gasses are involved with the lungs

The gasses involved with the lungs is  oxygen and carbon dioxide

24
New cards

nose hairs job

the nose hair catches dust particles

25
New cards

function of the epiglottis

The epiglottis keep food from entering the lungs 

26
New cards

What system does the respiratory system work closely with?

The circulatory system because of the heart.

27
New cards

how to the circulatory and respiratory system work together

The lungs take oxygen from the air and share it with the blood via the heart which pumps blood.

28
New cards
  1. What is the path the air takes after it enters the nose and mouth?

It goes down the trachea and into the bronchus that divides to reach each lung then it branches into smaller tubes called bronchioles. 


29
New cards
  1. What are the alveoli covered with?

A mesh of very small blood vessels. 

30
New cards
  1. What takes place in the alveoli?

Gas exchange 

31
New cards
  1. Thinking back to our notes on the cell membrane, what type of transport is taking place between the walls of the capillaries and the alveoli?

Diffusion

32
New cards
  1. How do we remove “stale air”?

exhale

33
New cards

air sacs at the end of the bronchioles are called

alveoli

34
New cards

This part of the respiratory system is protected by a flap of skin which closes when we swallow to prevent food entering the lungs.

trachea

35
New cards

nasal cavity

 Air is filtered by hairs and mucus. It is warmed by blood vessels and moistened by water vapour.

36
New cards

larynx

plates of cartilage at the top of the TRACHEA. It contains the vocal cords (Voice Box)

37
New cards

tranchea (windpipe)

  • made of rings of cartilage.

It is protected by a flap of skin (epiglottis) which closes when we swallow to prevent food entering

38
New cards

bronchi

Two branching tubes through which air passes into either lung.

39
New cards

bronchioles

Smaller and smaller branches of the bronchi inside the lungs.

40
New cards

lungs

  • Each one contains thousands of alveoli to increase the lungs surface area.

41
New cards

alveoli

  • Tiny sacs of thin membranes surrounded by capillaries.

  • Site of gas exchange

CO2 for O2

42
New cards

diaphragm

  • A muscle found below the lungs

  • moves down when you inhale.

moves up when you exhale.

43
New cards

oxygen is used in aerobic respiration by your cells in the production of what?

ATP

44
New cards

without oxygen….

your body cannot obtain enough energy from food to survive. 

45
New cards

carbon dioxide is produced as what

a waste product of aerobic respiration is toxic to cells and must be removed.

46
New cards

 What is the role of the diaphragm?

it aids in breathing and contracts and moves down so it pulls down the air into the lungs

47
New cards

what does the diaphragm do when you inhale

it contracts and moves down and causes the rib cage to push out

48
New cards

why does air rush into your lungs/

the volume of the chest cavity increases so air pressure reduces causing air to rush into the lungs

49
New cards

what does the diaphragm do when you exhale

It relaxes and moves up it decreases the volume of your chest cavity and increases pressure in the lungs

50
New cards

oxygen that enters the alveoli does what?

diffuses through the cell membrane and enters the capillaries that line the alveoli.

51
New cards

what oxygen passes through the plasma what happens next

is picked up by red blood cells that carry an iron-containing protein called hemoglobin.  The oxygen rich blood is then pumped to the heart and then to the tissues of the body.

52
New cards

how is carbon dioxide removed from the body

it travels back to the heart then to lungs as is released into alveoli where it leaves when you exhale 

53
New cards

what happens when oxygen reaches the tissues of the body

carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells to blood

54
New cards

why is oxygen needed in the body

cellular respiration
