Respiratory System - Structure/Function
This muscle moves up and down, creating low and high pressure, which allows air to move in and out of the lungs.
What is the diaphragm? What is your lung?
These blood vessels carry carbon dioxide-rich blood to the heart.
What are veins?
What are arteries?
This gas is produced by cells as waste.
What is carbon dioxide?
What is oxyen?
Carbon dioxide rich blood is found in this part of the heart.
What is the right side?
What is the left side?
This muscular tube transports oxygen from the mouth/nose into the lungs and carbon dioxide from the lungs to the mouth/nose
What is the trachea? What is your mouth?
Nutrients, water, gas exchange, and waste removal.
What needs of living things does the circulatory system take care of?
What needs of living things does the muscular system take care of?
Body cells need this gas in order to live.
What is oxygen?
What is carbon dioxide?
This chamber pumps carbon dioxide-rich blood to the lungs.
What is the right ventricle?
What is the left ventricle?
These tubes branch off from the trachea into the lungs, carrying gases in and out of the lungs
What is the bronchi or bronchial tubes?
What is bronchi or lungs?
These blood vessels surround the alveoli, allowing oxygen to move in and carbon dioxide to move out.
What are capillaries?
What are veins?
If this did not happen, your cells would build up with toxic carbon dioxide and never receive oxygen.
What is gas exchange?
Oxygen rich blood is found in this part of the heart.
What is the left side?
What is the right side?
Oxygen is traded for carbon dioxide at this structure in the lung.
What is the alveoli?
What is the lung?
This organ keeps your blood moving through your body.
What is the heart?
What is the brain?
Name the two places that gas exchange takes place in the body.
Gas exchange occurs between the alveoli and capillaries and also body cells and capillaries.
This chamber brings in oxygen-rich blood from the lungs.
What is the left atrium?
What is the right atrium?
