- Humans use their respiratory system to inhale air.
- The air enters the alveoli, millions of tiny sacks in the lungs, that are surrounded in capillaries (tiny vessels that contain blood).
- The oxygen from the air then diffuses into the capillaries. The blood inside them has now become oxygenated.
- The tissues and organs of the body receive this oxygen with the circulatory system.
- The oxygenated blood travels via the pulmonary veins to the heart, where it is pumped through the aorta (a large artery at the top of the heart) towards the body's tissues via arteries and capillaries.
- Oxygen, water and nutrients reach organs when they diffuse out of the capillaries and become tissue fluid. This process is called pressure filtration.
- The oxygen in the tissue fluid diffuses into cells. This oxygen is then used by the mitochondria, an organelle which produces ATP (the type of energy that the body gets from oxygen).
- Oxygen is necessary to survive because the body needs it to produce ATP, an energy that is needed for the body's cells, tissues and organs to function. The energy gained from food isn't sufficient enough to keep humans alive, and this is why we need to respire.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name for blood that has most of its oxygen given to the bodys cells is called?
Deoxygenated blood, also referred to as oxygen-poor blood or venous blood. This blood is returning to the heart after delivering oxygen to the body's cells.
What two organs work together to receive oxygen in our body?
The lungs and the heart work together to receive oxygen in our body. The lungs take in oxygen from the air during inhalation, where it diffuses into the bloodstream. The heart then pumps this oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body, ensuring that all tissues and organs receive the oxygen they need for cellular processes. This collaboration is essential for maintaining overall health and sustaining life.
The group of organs that take in oxygen from the air is called the?
The group of organs that take in oxygen from the air is called your respiratory system.
What organs are involved in the systemic circuit?
The systemic circuit involves the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. It transports oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body's tissues and returns oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. This circuit supplies oxygen and nutrients to the body's organs and removes waste products.
What is an abdominal evisceration?
An abdominal evisceration is the presence of the viscera, the internal organs of the body, outside of the body, particularly through a wound.
The organs that controls the bodys vistion are-?
The vestibular organs, the eyes and the brain are the body organs that control the body's vision.
Name 2 things that blood carries to each body cell?
oxygen and nutrients
What is the name for the portion of the body which houses most of the bodys vital organs?
The name for the portion of the body that houses most of the body's vital organs is the abdomen. It contains organs such as the stomach, liver, intestines, and kidneys, which are crucial for digestion, metabolism, and waste elimination.
What passes through the body organs?
Blood and oxygen.
What is a characteristic that helps a living thing survive and reproduce?
reproductive organs. some are designed to reproduce outside of the body, but others, internally.
What does blood carry to the other organs in the body?
oxygen and nutrients
Where does the hemoglobin go?
All of the body's organs to give them oxygen.
Which systems work together to provide the bodys cells with oxygen?
The circulatory system and respiratory system work together to provide the body's cells with oxygen and to carry away the carbon dioxide that cells generate as respiratory waste. The respiratory system gets air into lungs and in the small air sacs were oxygen is transported into the blood, and the circulatory system carries the oxygen in the red blood cells and delivers it to cells in need of oxygen. The oxygen is stored in the hemoglobin in the blood, and the blood is pumped around the bodily organs by the heart, releasing oxygen at the organs.
What do the blood vessels do for the body?
Carry oxygen and nutrients to organs and carbon dioxide and metabolites away from organs
What do the organs of the respiratory do to help the body?
The organs in the repiratory system, help you breathe. When the oxygen is in the body, the heart pumps it around to help the blood.
What carries oxygen to all the organs in your body?
red blood cells
What helps protect the internal organs that are connected to the outside body?
chillen
