PowerPoint Presentation Resp and Circ

The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to transport oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove carbon dioxide and other wastes. The respiratory system inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide through the lungs. The circulatory system transports blood to and from the lungs and throughout the body using the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. Together, these systems maintain homeostasis in the body.

1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions

KEY CONCEPT
The respiratory and circulatory systems bring oxygen
and nutrients to the cells.
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions
The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to
maintain homeostasis.
• The circulatory system transports
blood and other materials. Oxygen-poor blood

– brings supplies to cells


– carries away wastes
– separates oxygen-poor and
oxygen-rich blood

Oxygen-rich blood
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions

• The respiratory system is where gas exchange occurs.


– picks up oxygen from inhaled air
– expels carbon dioxide and water

nose

mouth
epiglottis
trachea

lungs
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions
The respiratory system moves gases into and out of the
blood.
• The lungs contain the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.
• Millions of alveoli give the lungs a huge surface area.
• The alveoli absorb oxygen from the air you inhale.
alveoli
bronchiole
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions

• Breathing involves the diaphragm and muscles of the rib


cage.
• Air flows from areas of high pressure to low pressure.

Air inhaled. Air exhaled.

Muscles and
rib cage relax.
Muscles contract and
rib cage expands.

Diaphragm flattens Diaphragm relaxes


and moves downward. and rises.
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions
The circulatory system moves blood to all parts of the
body.
• The system includes the heart,
veins
arteries, veins, and capillaries.
– heart pumps blood throughout body
– arteries move blood away from
heart
– veins move blood back to heart
– capillaries get blood to and from
cells
arteries
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions

• There are three major functions of the circulatory system.


– transporting blood, gases, nutrients
– collecting waste materials
– maintaining body temperature
