What does red blood cells contain
Red blood cells contain haemoglobin which contains lots of iron
What shapes do the red blood cells have and why
They have a flat concave shape which allows it to enter oxygen fast which they need to have a better gas exchange they need a bigger surface area
Why is having a flexible shape good
They can enter every part of our body
What does blood collect and why
Water oxygen and nutrients
To provide them to the cells
Why does Rae blood collect carbon dioxide and waste
To get rid of it
What are capillaries
They are the final distanition of the oxygen
How does capillaries look like
They have small holes between them and only cell walls that are thick
Vocabulary of our respiratory system
Lungs ribcage ( bones ribs and muscles - diaphragm and intericoastal
Inhale
Air gets in because it increases the size of my ribcage I create an under pressure
When inhale what happens to the diaphragm
Flattens and is contracted
Exhale
Put more pressure diaphragm rises
Aerobic respiration
Oxygen reacts with glucose to produce carbon dioxide and water and energy a lot which we need for living
Calcium
Strong teeth and bones
Nose - …
Nose throat trachea bronchi bronchioles alveoli
Diffusion
When there is any particles that are going from a high concentrated place to a low concentrated
What does the Alveoli and capillary do
Alveoli and then the capillary are taking the oxygen in and the carbon dioxide out
When you breathe in:
Your diaphragm goes down
Your intercostals muscles contract causing your ribs to expand your lungs get bigger
When you breathe out
Your diaphragm goes up your intercostal muscles relax and your ribs move inwards your lungs get smaller
Skeleton
Skull Mondible- in the mouth Neck Scapula - near the shoulders Ribs Humerus / upper arm Vertebrae bone connecting ribs Pelvis Radius - middle of arm Ulna - 1 of the bones in the arm Femur - upper leg Tibia - down leg Patella - knee
What bones does the skull protect t
The brain
Name the bones found i. Your neck
7
Describe the role of your ribs
Protecting our lungs
Common name for tibia
Shin
Name the bones that form the hip
Pelvic bone
