Q

What do platelets do?

A

Platelets are involved in blood clotting and regeneration of connective tissue.

17
Q

What part of Blood with Cheerios represent and why?

A

Red blood cells because they are similar in shape and size.

18
Q

Your body needs oxygen in order to get______ from the food you eat.

A

Energy

19
Q

There are six places oxygen needs to travel through on its way through the respiratory system to the circulatory system lets them in order.

A
  1. Nasal cavity
  2. Pharynx
  3. Trachea
  4. Bronchi
  5. Bronchioles
  6. Alvioli
20
Q

What is the purpose of the bronchi?

A

To lead the oxygen into the lungs.

21
Q

What is the purpose of the alveoli?

A

To exchange the oxygen and carbon dioxide.

22
Q

What does the nasal cavity do?

A

Filters and warms the air that goes to the lungs.

23
Q

What is another name for your windpipe?

A

Trachea

24
Q

What is another name for the throat?

A

Pharynx

25
Q

And moves into the lungs when the diaphragm muscle does what?

A

Goes down or contracts.

26
Q

What are the alveoli surrounded by that lets the oxygen into the blood?

A

Capillaries

27
Q

Describe how the respiratory and circulatory system are connected.

A

The respiratory system is responsible for getting oxygen into the body in the circular system takes the oxygen and distributes it.

28
Q

What does the circulatory system consist of?

A

Your heart, blood, and blood vessels, arteries, veins, and capillaries.

29
Q

What does the atrium do?

A

The atrium transports the blood and nutrients to the cells.

30
Q

What does the ventricle do?

A

The ventricle pushes the blood out of the heart.

31
Q

Describe how the heart works in three phases

A
  1. blood enters the atria and The left atrium receives oxygen rich blood. The left atrium receives oxygen poor blood.
  2. What is squeezed into ventricles
  3. Ventricles push blood out of the heart. Right goes into the lungs left goes to the rest of the body.
32
Q

Describe the first loop of blood flow.

A

The right ventricle pumps oxygen poor blood into the lungs. The Blood takes up oxygen in the capillaries.

33
Q

Describe the second loop loop of blood flow.

A

Oxygen rich blood is pumped into arteries and then capillaries. Oxygen, water, and nutrients are transported to the cells of the body. Where is the carried away.
