How does the circulatory system get oxygen and sugar to all the cells in the body?

When blood passes through the lungs, oxygen from the alveoli diffuse into the capillaries and is taken up by red blood cells. There it binds to hemoglobin. The red blood cells will travel through the arteries to the tissues where the oxygen will disassociate itself from the hemoglobin and diffuse into the tissues (cells).

What cells major basic needs?
Oxygen, Water, Glucose(Sugar), Proteins.......
What is the system function of the Respiratory System?
The function of the respiratory system is to allow gas exchange it, taking oxygen into the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the blood. The oxygen absorbed is used by the body cells to carry out respiration, the release of energy from food: sugar + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY The carbon dioxide made by respiration is removed when we breathe out.
What cell organelle makes sugar from carbon dioxide oxygen and water?
Chloroplasts are the organelle in plant cells that produce sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis.
What do gas cells need in order to release energy from sugar molecules?
to perform its metabolic activities
Why is oxygen important for all body cells?
Cells need oxygen to do a process called respiration.diffusion,and osmosis.The carbohydrates we eat turn into sugar. Your body stores this sugar in your liver until your body is ready to use it. Your pancreas releases insulin to tell your liver, "Release sugar." Then the sugar is carried to a cell. The cell places it in some mitochondria. It gets Oxygen from a red corpuscle. It takes the oxygen to the mitochondria. There it combines the Oxygen and the sugar and materials from the cell to create ATP or Adenosine triphosphate. ATP provides the power to run the cell. It acts like the gasoline in your car. Without gas your car won't go. If your body stops producing ATP, your cells don't go. You can use up all the carbohydrate stored in your liver and most of the fat stored in your body making ATP. Nothing can substitute for Oxygen.To fuel cellular respiration and the production of energy
How does the excretory system depend on circulatory?
The circulatory system provides the excretory with blood that has to be cleaned. so theres your answer.
What transports sugar to cells where they are used?
The digestive system breaks down the sugars from food and puts it into the blood stream and the circulatory system transports that to individual cells for cell respiration
Does the circulatory system break down sugars?
Blood sugar is broken down in muscle fibres to produce mechanical power, and in cells to produce heat.
How are sugars transported?
Simple sugars are considered carbohydrates, like starches are, and effects the blood sugar. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting the sugar through the body, first out of the digestive tract and then into the cells.
What 2 body systems would be working to get carbon dioxide out the body and oxygen into the body cells?
Circulatory and Respiratory systems, which is to say, the blood transport system and the breathing system.Specifically, the heme cells in the blood pick up oxygen at the lungs and take it to all the individual cells in the body, while at the same time picking up the by-product of cells burning fuel (glucose or blood-sugar) with the oxygen to make carbon-dioxide. When the heme cells returns to the lungs they exchange the CO2 for fresh O2, and the cycle repeats.
Why does the muscular system need the circulatory system?
the cardiovascular system needs the skeletal system because the skeletal system protects the organs of the cardiovascular system with the ribs and other bone parts. Also bone produces erythrocytes (red blood cells) and leukocytes (white blood cells) which of course are essential for the cardiovascular system
Can cancer following death still continue?
This is debatable in terms of the definition of death! Yes, for a little while until the cancer cells run out of a sugar source. If a person stops breathing for 2 minutes, this is not death if they begin to breath again right afterwards--this near death event will not cure cancer. Whereas normal cells require oxygen, cancer cells do not. Both normal and cancer cells both need sugar nutrients to live. When the circulatory system stops pumping blood via the heart, oxygen and sugar nutrients stop flowing to cells. Sugar already in the cells may be able to maintain the cancerous cell's life longer than normal cells whose oxygen supply is stopped upon the patient stopping breathing. The oxidation of sugar and the fermentation of sugar both produce heat. When the body has been dead long enough, the body temperature will drop rapidly indicating death at the cellular level.
What does Cells require to burn up food?
cells require oxygen to burn sugar.
What type of work is respiration?
Respiration is the process when the body creates energy. The body uses glucose (sugar) from the food that you have digested and oxygen from your lungs to produce energy. All living cells perform this process. Using the circulatory system the glucose and oxygen is absorbed in the blood which travels around your body in blood vessels. The waste products are water and carbon dioxide.
How are the circulatory system and diabetes type 2 related?
Type your answer here... to do with sugar content
Are leaves made of sugar and oxygen?
No, the leaves are made up of cells
How does the circulatory system aid in the production of energy?
the circulatory system is responsible for the distribution of all "fuels" in the body. These include gases (oxygen, etc), liquids (alcohol, juice,etc), and solids (sugar, caffeine, etc). All foods, gases and liquids that enter the body need to be distributed to other places ( like muscles, lungs, individual cells, etc.) to produce energy. If we don't get foods (and other things) from our stomachs\intestines to our muscles- we wouldn't be able to move. Simple as that
