QUIZ 1- CIRCULATORY AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

How do circulatory system and respiratory systems work together?

• Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea , bronchi, and bronchioles.

• Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart

• The circulatory and respiratory systems work together through absorbing oxygen from the air and transfer it to all parts of the body while absorbing carbon dioxide from the body and releasing it into the air.

• All of the above

Why is oxygen important to blood and to the cells?

• Oxygen helps the blood to clot

• Oxygen is necessary for cell growth and energy.

• Oxygen brings food to the cells.

• Systemic Circulation

• All of the above

What is the main function of the blood in circulatory system?

• Where the carbon dioxide is absorbed

• Where the exchange of gases and nutrients take place

• Carries the gases, nutrients and other molecules to and from the different parts of the body

Which of the following choices is the function of the respiratory system?

• absorption of nutrients

• transport of oxygen

• gas exchange

• skeletal support

• Veins have thinner walls than arteries

• The atria pump blood out of the heart
