The stomach
What is the main function of the lungs?
They fill with air when we breathe and then transports the oxygen into the bloodstream and releases carbon dioxide when exhaling.
What is the primary function of the heart?
To circulate blood in our blood vessels through our body, sending oxygen to our cells and getting rid of carbon dioxide.
What are the three main types of muscles?
Smooth, cardiac, and skeletal
How do the digestive and circulatory systems work together?
The digestive system provides nutrients for the circulatory system to send to the cells in our bodies.
What is the function of the stomach?
It holds food that is further broken down more by stomach acids and enzymes.
What is the role of the diaphragm when breathing?
It's the muscle that contracts and relaxes to allow your lungs to expand and relax when breathing.

How do bones and muscles work together?
Bones act as a frame that supports your muscles and your muscles contract and relax to move your bones.
What role does the respiratory system play in the
circulatory system?

Name the process that breaks down food into nutrients.
Digestion
Name the pathway the air takes when you inhale.
How does blood travel through the body?
It is pumped by the heart through the arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Name one function of the skeletal system.
2. Protects or internal organs.
3. Holds our muscles so we can move.
4.Produce blood cells.
How do muscles and bones interact with the circulatory system?
Muscles receive oxygen and has it's waste products removed by your circulatory system. The skeletal system creates blood cells and protects your heart.
What role do the liver and pancreas play during digestion?
Sends acids and enzymes to the small intestine to break food down.
What are the gases we need and expel from are bodes when we breathe?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
What is the role of the red blood cells?
Red blood cells transport oxygen to the cells in the body and carbon dioxide away from them.

What happens to airways when people have Asthma?
They get swollen, smaller and filled with mucus.
What is the importance of the circulatory system in nutrition distribution?
The nutrients from the food we eat are extracted by the digestive system and given to the circulatory system to be distributed to the cells in our bodies.
How does the musculoskeletal system support movement?
Skeletal muscles move our bones and our muscles are connected to bones with tendons.
How does the skeletal system interact with the respiratory system?
It protects the lungs, trachea and diaphragm.
