Circulatory System: The transportation system of the bodyBlood:Red Blood Cells – carry oxygen to the rest of the bodyPlatelets – form blood clotsWhite Blood Cells – protect your body from germs and other harmful things. Greater numbers in reponse to infectionHeart:-23837128194000 Veins - a blood vessel that takes blood from cells back to the heart Left Atrium Valve Left VentricleRespiratory system: Brings oxygen into the body and cells, removes carbon dioxide from the cells. Carbon dioxide builds up in the blood when you hold your breath. Your brain sends a signal telling you to breath.012128500 -Capillaries surround the wall of each air sacDigestive System: Begins when teeth grind foodFood then moves through the esophagus when rings of tiny muscles squeeze food down.The pancreas and liver send chemicals to the small intestine to help digest food.Villi in the small intestines provide more surface area to absorb food.Urinary System: involved in removing waste from the bodyKidneys:Clean the bloodRegulate the level of salt in the bloodControl the level of water in the bloodUrinary Bladder – stores a mix of wastes and water until the mix of wastes and water is ready to leave the bodyUrinary system and Circulatory systems work together:The urinary system cleans the blood in the circulatory system. Blood traveling back to the heart passes through the kidneys in the urinary system. The kidneys clean the blood and control the amount of salt, water, and other substances in the blood.Extended ResponseIdentify where the respiratory and circulatory systems worktogether in the human body. Explain how the two systems interactwith each other at this location. Then explain what happens to thecirculatory system when the respiratory system does not functionproperly.The respiratory and circulatory systems work together in the chest. In the chest, oxygentransfers from the alveoli to blood in the capillaries. The blood then travels throughoutthe body, distributing oxygen. Also, carbon dioxide leaves the blood at the alveoli andenters the lungs where it is then expelled. If the respiratory system does not function toits full ability, then the circulatory system cannot transport enough oxygen throughoutthe body. Without enough oxygen, other organs and tissues of the body will notfunction to their full ability. ................
