Answer:
See Below.
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the role of the respiratory system?
The respiratory system is responsible for breathing, which is the process of exchanging gases between the body and the outside air.
_______ is the process that exchanges gases between the body and the outside air.
Respiration.
_____ are the main organs of the respiratory system and are located in the rib cage.
Lungs.
Describe what each part of the respiratory system does when you take a breath:
• Pharynx (throat).Passageway for air and food.
• Trachea (windpipe).Carries air to the lungs.
• Diaphragm.Muscle that contracts to expand the chest cavity and draw air into the lungs.
• Bronchi.Branches of the trachea that carry air into the lungs.
When you _________, your chest cavity grows bigger, lowering the pressure inside your lungs and increasing pressure outside your body.
Inhale.
When you _________, carbon dioxide and water pass from the blood out into the air.
Exhale.
_________ are the tubular structures that carry blood through tissues and organs.
Blood vessels.
What are the circulatory system’s four primary jobs?
Transport oxygen and nutrients to cells.
Remove waste from cells.
Help fight infections.
Help regulate body temperature.
Describe each structure of the heart
• Septum: Divides the heart into left and right sides.
• Left and right atrium: Upper chambers that receive blood.
• Pacemaker: Group of cells that regulate the heartbeat.
• Left and right ventricles: Lower chambers that pump blood out of the heart.
• Valves: Flaps of tissue that prevent blood from flowing backward in the heart.
Describe how blood flows through the circulatory system in each of these circuits
• The pulmonary circuit: Carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood to the heart.
• The systemic circuit: Carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body's tissues and returns deoxygenated blood to the heart.
What are each of these blood vessels responsible for when it comes to transporting blood in the body?
• Arteries: Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues.
• Capillaries: Tiny vessels that allow for the exchange of nutrients, waste, and gases between the blood and body's tissues.
• Veins: Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
_______ is the fluid connective tissue that circulates through the vessels in the body.
Blood.
What four ingredients make up blood?
Red blood cells
White blood cells
Platelets
Plasma
How does air pressure affect breathing?
Air pressure affects breathing by creating a pressure difference that causes air to flow into or out of the lungs.
How do alveoli help gas exchange in the lungs?
Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the air.
Explain the job of the diaphragm muscle.
The diaphragm muscle contracts to create a vacuum in the chest cavity, causing air to be drawn into the lungs.
What two body functions do lungs support?
The lungs support the respiratory and circulatory systems by providing oxygen to the body's cells and removing carbon dioxide waste.
