How does the digestive system contribute to cell respiration?

Back

The digestive system breaks down food into glucose, which is then transported by the blood to the cells for energy.

Front

What is the relationship between the circulatory and excretory systems?

Back

The circulatory system transports blood to the kidneys, where the excretory system filters out waste products for removal.

Front

How do increased blood flow and white blood cells respond to an injury?

Back

Increased blood flow carries white blood cells to the site of injury to help fight infection and promote healing.

Front

What is the primary function of the circulatory system?

Back

The primary function of the circulatory system is to transport nutrients, gases, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.

Front

What is the role of the immune system?

Back

Front

How do the circulatory and immune systems interact?

Back

The circulatory system transports immune cells, such as white blood cells, to areas of infection or injury.
