1. Firstly, the cracker enters the mouth. This is where the cracker is physically broken down by chewing, and chemical digestion of carbohydrates begins. Salivary glands in the mouth produce saliva which moistens dry food and contains salivary amylase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates. The cracker is then swallowed. Paristalsis (involuntary muscle contractions) push food down the esophagus. In the stomach the cracker bathes it in gastric juices. Gastric juice is composed of three main parts; hydrochloric acid, mucus, and pepsin. Hydrochloric acid helps to digest the cracker chemically and protects the body by killing bacteria present in the cracker. Mucus acts as a protective barrier preventing the gastric juice from burning …show more content…
This is called inhalation. Exhalation occurs when the diaphragm moves upward, forcing the chest cavity to get smaller and pushing the air up and out of the nose and mouth.
Every few seconds, with each inhalation, air fills a large portion of the millions of alveoli. In a process called diffusion, oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood through the capillaries lining the alveolar walls. Once in the bloodstream, the hemoglobin in red blood cells picks up oxygen. This oxygen-rich blood then flows back to the heart. It leaves the heart and goes out into the body (e.g. it pumps through the body to the femoral vein in the thigh). Oxygen in the blood diffuses into tissues as blood travels. Finally, oxygen diffuses into the mitochondria.
3. In the tiny capillaries of the body tissues, oxygen is freed from the hemoglobin and moves into the cells. Carbon dioxide, which is produced during the process of diffusion, moves out of these cells into the capillaries, where most of it is dissolved in the plasma of the blood. The blood is now deoxygenated, and returns to the heart via the veins. From the heart, this blood is pumped to the lungs, where carbon dioxide passes into the alveoli and back into the lungs to be

From the right atrium the blood moves into the right ventricle through the AV valve. When the ventricles contract the blood is moves through the semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery. This artery then branches off into the left lung and the right lung so that the blood can become oxygenated. The oxygen-rich blood returns to the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
4. The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes, like excess water, and produce urine. The ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra together form the urinary tract, which drain urine from the kidneys. They also store the urine then release it during urination. The kidneys filter metabolic wastes, excess ions, and chemicals from the blood to form urine.
Gravity as well as peristalsis of muscle tissue in the walls of the ureters move urine toward the bladder. The ends of the ureters extend into the urinary bladder and are attached to the ureterovesical valves. These valves prevent urine from flowing back towards the kidneys.
The urinary bladder is used for the storage of urine. Urine entering the urinary bladder from the ureters slowly fills the bladder and stretches
The respiratory system and the cardiovascular system work together by oxygen being inhaled by the mouth and nostrils and then the oxygen enters the respiratory system. When the oxygen enters the respiratory system, oxygen enters the alveoli which are located in the lungs and then it diffuses through the alveolar wall. After when this process is complete, it enters the cardiovascular system. The oxygen is then mixed with hemoglobin, which forms oxyhaemoglobin. The blood is then circulated all around the body. While the blood is mixed with the oxygen, a waste gas gets produced, which is carbon dioxide. The excess gas then exists out by going through the respiratory system and then it is exhaled out from the mouth.
Gas exchange is when oxygen is delivered from the lungs to the blood stream and carbon dioxide is taken out of the bloodstream and into the lungs. Gas exchange occurs within the lungs between the alveoli and capillaries which are in the walls of the alveoli. The walls of the alveoli share a membrane with the capillaries in which oxygen and carbon dioxide move freely between the respiratory system and the bloodstream. Oxygen molecules attach to red blood cells, which travel back to the heart. At the same time, the carbon dioxide in the alveoli are exhaled out of the body.
The function of ureters is to enter the urinary bladder at an angle to help prevent any back flow (reflux) of urine back into the ureter. The ureter connects the kidney to the urinary bladder and urine is drained from the kidney and stored in the bladder it’s a passage through which urine passes from kidneys to the urinary bladder.
The circulatory system and the respiratory system work closely together to ensure that organ tissues and systems receive enough oxygen. Oxygen is required for cellular functions such as cell respiration. This is so the body’s organs and cells can work at fully; it is done by releasing chemical energy with in stored foods. The air breathed in and held in the lungs is transferred to the blood. The blood is circulated by the heart, which pumps the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body organs and returns with deoxygenated blood.
Answer 2: The respiratory system functions in the exchange of gases with the outside environment. Oxygen is inhaled through the nasal cavity or the mouth, and it travels to the alveoli in the lungs. There, the capillaries exchange the oxygen for carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood flows back to the heart from the lungs. It enters the left side of the heart and is delivered to all the body tissues via the aorta. In the capillaries of the body tissues, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. This deoxygenated blood flows back to the right side of the heart and then to the lung. In the capillaries that run across the alveoli, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen that has recently been inhaled. The carbon dioxide will then be exhaled through the mouth and nasal cavity.
The oxygen rich blood returns from the lungs and it goes through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium.
First the de-originated blood goes into the right atrium. And the originated blood goes through the left atrium. The right atrium then pumps blood through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, and the left atrium pumps blood through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. The right ventricle contracts, semi lunar valve opens and deoxygenated blood travels back to the lungs. The left ventricle contracts, semi lunar valve opens and oxygenated blood goes out to the body.
The right atrium is where the process begins. Then, blood travels through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle, and from there to the pulmonary artery. Once the blood travels through the pulmonary artery, it reaches the lungs. While in the lungs, the blood goes through a gas exchange: deoxygenated blood gets oxygenated (The gas exchange takes place in the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs in the bottom of the lungs
The renal system also known as the urinary systems purpose is to eliminate wastes from the body, regulate blood pressure, and regulate blood pH.
Small air sacks called alveoli are at the tips of the bronchioles. When air reaches them, the oxygen concentration is high, which causes diffusion into red blood cells travelling through pulmonary capillaries (7). The red blood cells then distribute the new oxygen to the rest of the body. When they reach the alveoli again, they exchange carbon dioxide (a form of cell waste) for new oxygen, and repeat the process. The carbon dioxide is moved through the bronchioles, bronchi, and trachea in the form of exhalation.
Most urinary tract infections are primarily caused by bacteria that live in the bowel region of the body. The bacterium Escherichia coli, commonly referred to as “E. coli”, causes most UTIs. The urinary tract has several systems to prevent infection. The points where the ureters attach to the bladder act as only one way valves to prevent urine from moving back up toward the kidneys. Urination is intended to wash microbes and any infectious bacteria out of the body. In males, the prostate gland produces secretions that slow down bacterial growth in the urinary tract. In both woman and men, immune defenses try to prevent infections, but despite these safety procedures put in place by the body, infections still do occur in some individuals.
• A thin, flexible tube (catheter) will be passed through your urethra and into your bladder. This drains urine into a bag outside of your body.
Within the alveoli, the oxygen is transferred to the blood whilst simultaneously collecting waste carbon dioxide for excretion as we breath out. This transference is known as diffusion and is linked to the cardiovascular system.
2. The exchanges of gas begins with the diffusion of oxygen down its gradient; oxygen present in the environment is greater compared to oxygen in tissues and vice versa for carbon dioxide. After the oxygen is inhaled, the oxygen binds to hemoglobin and then travels via the bloodstream into the alveolar capillaries in the lungs. The oxygen rich blood goes into the right side of the heart and the left side pumps it to the rest of the body while exhibiting a greater oxygen partial pressure at this point than the atmosphere. The exchanges of gases between the capillaries and the cells of the body occur by the diffusion of
How many of us really think about our ability to urinate, I know I never did, but for my Uncle and Cousin, they could only wish to do what comes so naturally to us. When you have kidney disease and suffer Renal failure, which is what both of my relative's had, the kidneys are unable to remove those wastes through urinating. When the kidneys no longer perform these functions adequately, wastes and excess fluid build up in the blood. Some of the warning signs of kidney disease are as follows:
