    Circulatory and respiratory systems

    These systems work together; the respiratory system brings in oxygen, and the circulatory system transports it to cells, returning carbon dioxide for exhalation.

    Alveoli in lungs

    Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs that increase surface area for oxygen absorption; their absence can lead to breathing difficulties.

    Study Notes

    Respiratory System

    • Function: Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide.
    • Entry points: Nose/mouth.
    • Trachea: Air passage.
    • Bronchial tubes: Distribute air.
    • Lungs: Expand and contract for gas exchange.
    • Alveoli: Tiny sacs where gas exchange occurs.

    Digestive System

    • Function: Breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.
    • Route: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum.
    • Mouth: Mechanical and chemical breakdown (teeth, saliva).
    • Esophagus: Transports food.
    • Stomach: Mechanical (muscle squeezing), chemical (acid digestion).
    • Small intestine: Nutrient absorption, further chemical digestion.
    • Large intestine: Water absorption.
    • Rectum: Waste removal.
    • Waste products: Feces, urine, carbon dioxide.

    Alcohol Consumption

    • Effects: Depresses brain's behavioral control, liver damage (toxins build up), affects nervous, circulatory, and other systems.
    • Liver diseases: Liver disease, cirrhosis, hepatitis.

    Leading Cause of Death (USA)

    • Heart disease.

    Human Heart

    • Function: Pumps blood throughout the body.
    • Average beats per minute: 60-80.
    • Blood flow from heart: Left ventricle to body, right ventricle to lungs.
    • Lub-dub sound: Caused by valve closing.

    Heart Problems

    • Diagnosable problems with stethoscope: Irregular heartbeat, valve problems, holes in heart wall.
    • Coronary blockage: Heart attack.
    • Treatment Options: Angioplasty, bypass surgery.
    • High blood pressure: Enlarged and weakened heart, stiff arteries.
    • Risk factors (voluntary/involuntary):
      • Voluntary: Smoking, diet (alcohol, cholesterol), exercise
      • Involuntary: Family history, high blood pressure, age, gender

    Heart as Two Pumps

    • Left ventricle: Pumps blood to body.
    • Right ventricle: Pumps blood to lungs.
    • One-directional blood flow.

    Cellular Respiration

    • Process producing carbon dioxide: Cellular respiration.
    • Purpose: Cells use oxygen and nutrients for energy.
    • Waste product: Carbon dioxide.

    Respiratory and Circulatory Systems

    • Collaboration: Respiratory system brings oxygen, circulatory system distributes it and removes carbon dioxide.

    Infant Lung Development

    • Alveoli: Tiny air sacs in lungs that increase surface area for oxygen absorption.
    • Lack of alveoli: Reduced oxygen absorption (difficulty breathing, shortness of breath).

    Student Height Investigation

    • Hypothesis: 80% of students grow at least 4 inches between 7th and 8th grade.
    • Prediction stated in the hypothesis
    • Procedure Outline:
      • Sample size: 100 students
      • Height measurement: Remove shoes, use clipboard to flatten, measure in cm/inches.
      • Record: Height at 7th grade start, height at 8th grade start, difference height.
      • Data Table: Suggested headings are provided in the prompt.
    • Data Analysis:Calculate the percentage of students meeting the growth criteria after collecting and recording data.
