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