Science-Body Systems
  1. Respiratory System
    1. respiratory system is responsible for getting oxygen into your body and carbon dioxide out.
      1. occurs when you inhale (breathe in)
        1. When you breathe in, you actually take in a mixture of gases (of which about 21 per cent is oxygen)
          1. air moves down your trachea (or windpipe)
            1. then down into one of two narrower tubes called bronchi (bronchus)
              1. then into smaller branching tubes called bronchioles
                1. which end in tiny air sacs called alveoli (alveolus).
            1. occurs when you exhale (breathe out).
            2. Circulatory System
              1. Work together to provide your cells with oxygen which is essential for cellular respiration
                1. involves the breaking down of glucose so that energy is released in a form that your cells can then use
                  1. carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product
                    1. Carbon dioxide then needs to be removed from your cells or it would cause damage or death to them.
                    2. circulatory system is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients to your body's cells, and wastes such as carbon dioxide away from them.
                      1. blood cells that are transported in your blood vessels and heart.
                        1. three major types of blood vessels
                          1. arteries,
                            1. which transport blood to the heart
                            2. capillaries,
                              1. in which materials are exchanged with cells
                              2. veins,
                                1. which transport blood back to the heart
                        2. Digestive System
                          1. Excretory System
