Pulmonary Circulation

The portion of the cardiovascular system which

carries deoxygenated blood from the right
ventricle away from heart to lungs by passing
through the pulmonary artery and return
oxygenated blood from lungs through the
pulmonary vein entering the left atrium of the
heart, then the oxygenated blood will be pump
by the left ventricle to the rest of the body.

Systemic Circulation
The portion of the cardiovascular system which
carries oxygenated blood away from the left
ventricle passing though aorta to the body and
return deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Respiratory system:
Air enters the respiratory system through the
mouth and the nose. The air then passes through
the larynx (where speech sounds are produced)
and the trachea which is a tube that enters the
thorax. In the thorax, the trachea splits into two
smaller tubes called the bronchi. Each bronchus
then divides again forming the bronchial tubes.
The bronchial tubes lead directly into the lungs
where they divide into many smaller tubes which
connect to tiny sacs called alveoli. The cells
which form the organs and tissues of the
respiratory system have a number of roles
including the exchange of carbon dioxide and
oxygen.

How gas transfer to the blood:

Alveolar air is separated from the blood by a very
this respiratory membrane. Gas exchange takes
place across this membrane. Oxygen diffuses
into the red blood cells within the blood
capillaries and is carried to the tissues attached
to the hemoglobin molecules. Carbon dioxide
diffuses from the tissues into the capillaries and
is returned in the blood via the heart to the blood
capillaries surrounding the alveoli in the lungs.

The cardiovascular system is responsible for the

transport of blood, carrying various substances,
throughout the body.

Introduction:
The body cells depend upon products of both the
respiratory and digestive systems' functions in

order to maintain themselves. To produce energy,

cells burn nutrient molecule fuel in oxygen. The
digestive tract provides the nutrient molecules,
through the process of digestion, while the
respiratory tract provides oxygen. As such, the
two systems work together to give your cells the
ingredients they need to produce energy, which
they use to communicate, build cellular products
and grow.

Digestive system:
The small intestine is the principal site of
digestion and absorption. There, enzymes and
secretions from the pancreas, liver, gallbladder,
and the small intestine itself combine to break
down nutrients so that they can be absorbed. The
absorption of nutrients in the small intestine is
facilitated by tiny projections called villi, which
provide more surface area for absorption. The
nutrients pass through the intestinal membranes
into the circulatory system, which transports
them to body tissues. Nutrients are then
absorbed into the cells.
