Organ System Concept Map

Is one system required for the other to function

Yes, without the respiratory system, blood would be useless.

De-O2 blood -> heart for replenishment via veins

O2 blood -> organs+tissues via arteries

Structures Shared?

How do the 2 body systems work together

They work together to circulate blood containing oxygen throughout the body

RBC/Hemoglobin binds O2

Plasma holds CO2

Circulatory System

Transportation of blood

Respiratory System

Function

Respiration (Breathing)

Expiration

Inspiration

Structures

Lower Respiratory Tract

Lungs

Pulmonary ventilation

Bronchial Tree

Air distribution and exchange of gas

Trachea

Passageway for air to and from lungs

Made up of C-shaped rings to protect and maintain the open airway

Upper Respiratory Tract

Larynx

Air distribution

Pharynx

Passageway for air

the circular muscles form constrictions that help push food to the esophagus and prevent air from being swallowed

Nose

Warms and moistens air

narrower nostrils alter airflow in such a way that the mucus-covered nasal membrane can warm and humidify incoming air more efficiently
