Circulatory System and Respiratory System

• It is made up of the heart, the blood vessels, and the blood.

• This system transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste through the body.

Arteries – capillaries – veins

It travels away from the heart in arteries.

It travels to small places in the capillaries.

It travels back to the heart in veins. 

The lungs clean the blood.

• Plasma - The liquid part of the blood that carries nutrients

• Red blood cells- carry oxygen, nutrients, and waste through the body.

  
  

• White blood cells - help fight infection

• Platelets - help the blood to clot.

• Arteries - They are tubes that lead blood away from the heart into capillaries

• Capillaries - Small tubes that carry blood to small places and back to the veins

• Veins - Veins return blood to the heart.

It receives blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body.

At the same time, it receives blood from the rest of the body and sends it to the lungs.

It is a group of organs and tissues that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between your body and the environment.

Oxygen taken in by the lungs (respiratory system) is carried by red blood cells (circulatory system) to each body cell.

• lungs - the main organ of the respiratory system

• trachea - windpipe

• Bronchi - the two tubes in your chest that branch off of the trachea

• alveoli - tiny air sacs at the end of bronchial branches

Carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged there.
