Circulatory System 100

What is the primary function of the heart?

Create pressure that pumps blood throughout the body

Circulatory System 200

What are the parts of the cardiovascular system?

Heart, blood, arteries, veins, and capillaries

Circulatory System 300

What is the primary function of the capillaries?

Allow an exchange of gasses between the blood and body

cells

Circulatory System 400

Describe the parts of blood.

Plasma – fluid part of blood

Red Blood Cells – carry oxygen

White Blood Cells – fight disease

Platelets – clot together to stop bleeding

Circulatory System 500

What is the function of platelets?

Stick together to form clots to stop bleeding and repair damaged blood vessels

Circulatory System 600

What is the function of red blood cells?

Carry oxygen to cells in the body and pick up waste from

cells in the body

Respiratory System 100

How is the respiratory system dependent on the muscular

system?

Inhaling can’t happen unless the lungs expand to take in air, and the diaphragm muscle contracts to inhale and relaxes to exhale

air

Respiratory System 200

What are the alveoli and why are they important?

Tiny air sacs that filter oxygen from the air into the blood

stream and get rid of carbon dioxide

Respiratory System 300

What is the main passage way to the respiratory

system?

Nose

Respiratory System 400

Describe in detail the path oxygen would take through the respiratory system and cardiovascular system.

Oxygen is in air we breathe and enters through the nose, then travels through the pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi

where it enters the lungs. Inside the lungs the air continues through the bronchioles and into the alveoli. The alveoli pass

the oxygen through the walls of the capillaries and to a red blood cell. The RBC takes the oxygen to the heart and the

heart pumps the blood throughout the body. The RBC delivers the oxygen to cells in the body where it is used in cellular

respiration to release energy.

Respiratory System 500

Explain the function of the epiglottis in the respiratory

system.

The epiglottis is a door or flap in the larynx that guards the trachea. It opens when we

breath and closes when we eat.

Respiratory System 600

What is the difference between respiration and cellular

respiration?Respiration is the process of how the

body gets and uses oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. Cellular

respiration is the process in which the cells use the oxygen to release energy.

Systems Working Together 100

How does the respiratory system depend on the

circulatory system?

The respiratory system needs the circulatory system to deliver the oxygen and pick up carbon dioxide from around the body

Systems Working Together 200

How does the cardiovascular system depend on the skeletal

system?

The bone marrow in the skeletal system makes new

blood cells for the cardiovascular system.

Systems Working Together 300

How does the circulatory system depend on the respiratory

system?

The circulatory system can’t bring oxygen into the body, so

depends on the respiratory system to bring in oxygen and

get rid of carbon dioxide.

Systems Working Together 400

Which two systems work together to exchange oxygen

and carbon dioxide?

Cardiovascular and Respiratory

Systems Working Together 500

How is breathing , respiration, and cellular respiration

related? Breathing (inhalation and exhalation) must

happen for respiration (getting and using oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide) to

occur. Cellular respiration can’t happen unless all the cells of the body have a way to

get oxygen.

Systems Working Together 600

At what point does the respiratory system interact with the circulatory system?

The gasses are exchanged between the alveoli and the red blood cells filing through the surrounding capillaries

Functions 100

What is the primary function that the cardiovascular and

respiratory system work together to perform?

Respiration

Functions 200

What is the primary function of the blood vessels?

To carry blood throughout the body

Functions 300

Draw a picture of alveoli with capillaries. Explain how these two structures work together.

Alveoli filter oxygen from the air and pass it through the thin walls to the blood stream.

Red blood cells traveling through the capillaries pass carbon dioxide into the alveoli

so the body can get rid of it.

Functions 400

What is the function of white blood cells in the body?

Destroy pathogens, fight disease & infection

Functions 500

What is the function of plasma?

The water in the plasma acts a temperature regulator as it circulates through the body

Functions 600

What is the function of blood?

Deliver nutrients and pick up waste around the body

Water 100

What is a property of water that is most beneficial to

organisms during hot weather?

Temperature Regulator

Water 200

What is a way that water is important to fish?

Carries dissolved oxygen

Water 300

What is the function of gills?

Filter dissolved oxygen from the water

Water 400

What organ in the human body is similar to gills in fish?

lungs

Water 500

What is the role of water in regards to respiration?

Water is one of the byproducts given off during

cellular respiration

Water 600

What are the roles of water in regards to the cardiovascular

system?

Temperature regulator – water absorbs heat during cold and the body releases water during hot

Metabolite – water helps with chemical reactions in cells
