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
