Study Notes
Respiratory System
- The respiratory system consists of the nose, mouth, trachea, diaphragm, and lungs (left and right)
- Lungs are composed of bronchi, bronchioles, capillaries, and alveoli
Circulatory System
- The circulatory system includes the heart, left ventricle, right ventricle, left atrium, and right atrium
- Blood vessels are part of the circulatory system, including veins (e.g. pulmonary vein, inferior vena cava, superior vena cava) and arteries (e.g. aorta, pulmonary artery)
- The circulatory system is responsible for transporting nutrients from the digestive system to the body's cells
- The circulatory system also moves waste products from the cells to the kidneys
Gas Exchange
- Oxygen diffuses into the alveoli and binds to hemoglobin in the blood
- Carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli and is exhaled out of the body through the respiratory system
