Exploring Respiratory and Circulatory Systems

This lesson covers the respiratory and circulatory systems, focusing on the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste. It explains the functions of the lungs and alveoli in the respiratory system and the heart, blood, and blood vessels in the circulatory system. The lesson also discusses how these systems interact with the digestive system to transport nutrients and gases throughout the body.

What are the main objectives of this lesson?

• To study the skeletal system

• To model the process of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange

• To understand the structure of the heart

• To learn about the nervous system
