30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
KEY CONCEPT The respiratory and circulatory systems bring oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
Oxygen-poor blood
Oxygen-rich blood
The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to maintain homeostasis.
• The circulatory system transports blood and other materials. – brings supplies to cells – carries away wastes – separates oxygen-poor and
oxygen-rich blood
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• The respiratory system is where gas exchange occurs.– picks up oxygen from inhaled air – expels carbon dioxide and water

lungs
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
The respiratory system moves gases into and out of the blood.
• The lungs contain the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. • Millions of alveoli give the lungs a huge surface area.• The alveoli absorb oxygen from the air you inhale.

• Breathing involves the diaphragm and muscles of the rib cage.
• Air flows from areas of high pressure to low pressure.
Air inhaled.
Muscles contract andrib cage expands.
Diaphragm flattensand moves downward.
Air exhaled.
Muscles andrib cage relax.
Diaphragm relaxesand rises.

veins
arteries
The circulatory system moves blood to all parts of the body.
• The system includes the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. – heart pumps blood throughout body – arteries move blood away from
heart – veins move blood back to heart– capillaries get blood to and from
cells
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
– collecting waste materials– maintaining body temperature
• There are three major functions of the circulatory system.– transporting blood, gases, nutrients
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs.
• Oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood to and from the alveoli.– oxygen diffuses from alveoli into capillary – oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells – carbon dioxide difuses from capillary into alveoli
ALVEOLI GAS EXCHANGES

O2 diffusesinto blood.
30.2 Respiration and Gas Exchange
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. • Breathing is regulated by the brain stem. It monitors CO2
levels, not O2

30.2 Respiration and Gas Exchange
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
Respiratory diseases interfere with gas exchange.
• Lung diseases reduce airflow and oxygen absorption.– Emphysema destroys alveoli.– Asthma constricts airways.– Cystic fibrosis produces sticky mucus.
30.2 Respiration and Gas Exchange
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• Smoking is the leading cause of lung diseases.
30.2 Respiration and Gas Exchange
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• The heart has four chambers: two atria, two ventricles.
• Valves in each chamber prevent backflow of blood.
• Muscles squeeze the chambers in a powerful pumping action.

30.3 The Heart and Circulation
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
– SA node, or pacemaker, stimulates atria to contract– AV node stimulates ventricles to contract
SA node
VA node
• The heartbeat consists of two contractions.
30.3 The Heart and Circulation
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• Blood flows through the heart in a specific pathway.

30.3 The Heart and Circulation
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• Blood flows through the heart in a specific pathway.
– oxygen-poor blood enters right atrium, then right ventricle
– right ventricle pumps blood to lungs
– oxygen-rich blood from lungs enters left atrium, then left ventricle
– left ventricle pumps blood to body

30.3 The Heart and Circulation
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
The heart pumps blood through two main pathways.
• A double-loop system
• Pulmonary circulation occurs between the heart and the lungs.– oxygen-poor blood enters lungs– excess carbon dioxide and water
expelled– blood picks up oxygen – oxygen-rich blood returns to heart
30.3 The Heart and Circulation
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• Systemic circulation occurs between the heart and the rest of the body. – oxygen-rich blood goes to organs,
extremities– oxygen-poor blood returns to
heart • The two pathways help maintain a
stable body temperature.
30.3 The Heart and Circulation
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
Arteries, veins, and capillaries transport blood to all parts of the body.• Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
– blood under great pressure– Thicker, more muscular walls

30.4 Blood Vessels and Transport
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• Veins carry blood back to the heart.
– blood under less pressure– thinner walls, larger diameter– valves prevent backflow

• Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood pushing against artery walls. – systolic pressure:
left ventricle contracts
– diastolic pressure: left ventricle relaxes
• Shrinking diameter due to plaque increases blood pressure.• High blood pressure can precede a heart attack or stroke.
30.4 Blood Vessels and Transport
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
Lifestyle plays a key role in circulatory diseases. • Some choices lead to an increased risk of circulatory
diseases.– smoking– long-term stress– excessive weight– lack of exercise – diet low in fruits
and vegetables,high in saturatedfats
30.4 Blood Vessels and Transport
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• Circulatory diseases affect mainly the heart and the arteries.– artery walls become thick and inflexible– plaque blocks blood flow in arteries
30.4 Blood Vessels and Transport
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
Blood is composed mainly of cells, cell fragments, and plasma.
• Whole blood is made up of different materials.– plasma– red blood cells – white blood cells – platelets
red blood cells,white blood cells,and platelets
plasma• Plasma is a key factor in maintaining
homeostasis. – molecules diffuse into and out of
plasma– contains proteins that stabilize
blood volume– contains clotting factors – contains immune proteins
30.5 Blood
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
Platelets and different types of blood cells have different functions.• The bone marrow manufactures most of the blood
components.

30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
• Red blood cells make up 40-45 % of all blood cells.– transport oxygen to cells and carry away carbon dioxide– have no nuclei and contain hemoglobin

• White blood cells fight pathogens and destroy foreign matter.

• Protein markers define blood types and Rh factors.
– ABO blood group the most common
– Rh factor can be negative or positive– blood types must be compatible for transfusions

Lymph is collected from tissues and returned to the circulatory system.
• The lymphatic system collects fluid that leaks out of the capillaries.– Lymph vessels have valves to
prevent backflow.– Lymph nodes filter the lymph
and destroy foreign matter.– Lymph vessels return cleaned
fluid to the circulatory system. • If lymph vessels or nodes are
damaged, lymph collects in an area.

30.6 Lymphatic System
30.1 Respiratory and Circulatory Functions TEKS 4B, 10A, 10C
tonsils
thymus
spleen
The lymphatic system is a major part of the immune system.
• Structures in the lymphatic system help fight disease.– tonsils filter bacteria
and viruses– thymus develops white
blood cells – spleen filters lymph,
contains immune cells
• Lymphocytes help destroy pathogens, parasites, and foreign matter.
