Study Guide for Thursday's Assessment

Here is the Review Powerpoint for the Circulatory and Respiratory Assessment.

Circulatory & Respiratory Study Guide

Both Systems:

Major structures & functions

• Circ. - Heart, blood vessels, blood
• Resp. - Lungs, diaphragm, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli

How the systems work together to collect & distribute oxygen & eliminate wastes (CO2) - Essay question

Circulatory System:

Functions of the chambers of the heart:  

• Atria - Collection, Ventricles - Pumping chambers

Blood flow throughout the heart & body

• PHSchool.com, code CEP-4031

Cardiovascular health - Diseases & preventions

• Heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure & atherosclerosis
• Healthy diet, avoid smoking, fatty/salty foods

Respiratory System:

Gas exchange process - What happens in & around around the alveoli in the lungs - Essay (see above)

Mechanics of breathing - Role of diaphragm in breathing

• PHSchool.com, code CEP-4041

Gasses in the air - Oxygen = 21%

Air passages & how they help in maintaining respiratory health

• Moisten, heat & filter the air we breathe

Monday 6th - Introduction to Respiratory System

Today we introduced the respiratory system and will look at how do the circulatory and respiratory system work together to produce energy in your body.

Here is an image of the respiratory system and its structures.

Here is an image of the gas exchange that occurs between the alveoli and the capillaries.

This is a really good interactive site for looking at the breathing process.
