Cardiovascular And Respiratory System Research Paper
Both the cardiovascular and respiratory system help each other by working together to make sure that the tissues of the body are getting the correct amount of oxygen so that they can help the body to work efficiently as possible. They also help to make sure that carbon dioxide is forced out. The cardiovascular and respiratory system start to work together when the oxygen from the surroundings/environment enter through the nose, this will start the process where the body will receive the oxygen.
The blood vessels and the heart are part of the cardiovascular system. The respiratory organs that include trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and most importantly the alveoli. These organs are important because they make sure that in the body oxygen is delivered throughout. The trachea will help to move the oxygen and down to the alveoli. In the lung, the alveoli can be found as they are tiny air sacs.The alveoli can be greatly useful when oxygen move from the outside of the capillary into the blood vessels like the capillaries.When the oxygen have diffused into the blood vessel, red blood cells will carry the oxygen because of they have a pigment called hemoglobin that have an increased concave surface area to carry …show more content…
oxygen all the way to the tissues of the body. The red blood cells also help to make sure that carbon dioxide is forced out of the tissue and back into the lungs again. Once it is back into the lungs, the same process happens again and oxygen is newly absorbed into the blood. At this point, oxygen will be newly fresh in the blood, it will be returned to the heart so that it can deliver its content to all parts of the body. Pulmonary circulation involves the heart and lungs so therefore the two systems are closely connected to each other.
Digestion and absorption of food molecules starts at the mouth.
The food molecules must first be broken down following mechanical and chemicals processes. This happens so that stomach, duodenum and ileum can absorb it. The ileum is an area in the small intestine makes sure that these molecules are broken down into smaller molecules. These food molecules, after its been broken down, will diffuse away from your small intestines and into your bloodstream which will have steep concentration gradient.
The blood compared to the nutrients like glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol will have a higher concentration. Diffusion can happen thoroughly as possible because of the villi that can be found on small intestine that gives it a more larger surface
area.
Respiration releases energy for the cells to use from glucose. This can be aerobic respiration which needs oxygen or anaerobic respiration which is the opposite where it does not. So aerobic respiration happens all the time in animals and plants, where the mitochondria is responsible for this reaction because they are the organelles that are known as the powerhouses of cells.
