Which systems are involved in cellular respiration?

Back

The respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems are involved in cellular respiration, providing oxygen and glucose necessary for energy production.

Front

What type of tissue carries signals from the brain to the heart?

Back

Nerve tissue carries signals from the brain to the heart, instructing it to pump blood.

Front

How does the immune system interact with the circulatory system?

Back

The immune system interacts with the circulatory system as white blood cells, which are part of the immune system, travel through the blood to fight infections.

Front

What is the role of blood in the body?

Back

Blood transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body, playing a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis.

Back

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and return carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.

Front

What is the role of the heart in the circulatory system?

Back

The heart pumps blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste products.

Front

What is the difference between arteries and veins?

Back

Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, while veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
