Q

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.
What happens in the exchange of gases?

(3)

A

Occurs between blood in the capillaries and the cells of the body. Oxygen is unloaded to the cells while carbon dioxide, resulting from cell metabolism, is given up to the blood.
Deoxygenated blood is carried back to the lungs where it unloads carbon dioxide.

Q

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM.

What is the diastole phase?

A

The muscles of both atria and ventricles relax and blood flows in to fill both the atria and ventricles in preparation for systole (contraction).

Q

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM.

What is the systole phase?

A

The atria contract first to further fill the ventricles. The ventricles then contract and push blood under pressure to the lungs and all parts of the body. As they contract, the rising pressure in the ventricles forces that atrioventricular valves to close and opens the valves in the arteries leaving the heart.
