carry oxygenated blood away from the heart Veins take blood back to
the heart Capillaries carry blood from the arteries to the
cells
Slide 5
Common Problems with Circulatory System Anemia shortage of red

function properly Main organ: Lungs take air in and exchange gases
with the blood Blood takes oxygen to the body (inhale) Then carries

Slide 7
Problems with Respiratory System Common cold effect ability to
exchange gases efficiently Pneumonia- infection of the lungs
causing difficulty in breathing Asthma passages in the lungs swell
and shrink making it difficult to breathe
