Q

It is the process of using oxygen
(oxidation) to break down sugar (glucose)
in food, producing energy (ATP) in cells
and releasing carbon dioxide as a waste
product

Q

contains the paranasal sinuses
where air is warmed and cilia which is
responsible for filtering out foreign bodies.

18
Q

is the common
space used by both the respiratory and
digestive systems.

A

pharynx (throat)

19
Q

conducts air into the
lower respiratory tract

A

Larynx (voice box)

20
Q

a is a flexible tube also called a
windpipe. Its main function is to carry air
in and out of your lungs and provides a
reliable pathway for oxygen to enter your
body

21
Q

The body’s cells are supplied with oxygen
and nutrients through the heart, blood, and
blood vessels.
Blood transports carbon dioxide to the
lungs (for exhale) and takes up oxygen
through the network of arteries, veins, and
capillaries

A

THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

22
Q

is the movement of blood
through the vessels of the body that is
induced by the pumping action of the
heart and serves and distributes nutrients
and oxygen to all parts of the body and
removes waste products as well.

23
Q

, located in your chest, is
tilted towards the left side.

24
Q

Types of blood vessels

A

Arteries, Veins, Capilliaries

25
carries everything. is a nonliving yellow liquid mainly composed of water (92%) and other materials (8%).
Plasma
26
are for gas exchange and oxygen and nutrient-transport. They are produced in the red marrow of long bones and destroyed in the liver and spleen. They contain the iron protein compound (Hemoglobin) whose chief function is to combine with oxygen and carry it to the cell
RED BLOOD CELLS
27
fight infection. also known as Lymphocytes or Leukocytes, are larger than red blood cells, but there are fewer of them.
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
28
are for clotting. are the smallest blood cells (fragments) that are needed for clotting. ● They create fibrin which is an enzyme that helps clot blood (tiny threads seal cuts).
Platelets
29
involves a series of enzyme-controlled reactions resulting in
Clotting
30
the heart uses the pulmonary arteries to pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and the pulmonary veins to return oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs.
pulmonary circulation
31
The oxygenated blood is pumped quickly from the heart into the aorta and then through other arteries to other regions of the body during the
systemic circulation
32
carry deoxygenated blood collected from different cells back to the heart, where it is pushed to the lungs for oxygenation
Venae cavae
33
The heart has its own supply of blood arteries that transport nutrients and oxygen to the cardiac muscle cells while also removing waste during
coronary circulation
34
e is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
tricuspid valve
35
is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
pulmonary valve
36
is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It has only 2 leaflets
mitral valve
37
e is located between the left ventricle and the aorta
aortic valve
38
is the pressure of the ventricles contracting
Systolic
39
is the pressure during the relaxation or ventricles refilling.
Diastolic
40
Pressure cuff is called a
sphygmomanometer
