Your body cells use oxygen you breath to get energy from the foods you eat. The process is called "Cellular Respiration." This process or function consists of the cell using oxygen to break down sugars in the body. When the cell uses the oxygen to break down sugars, carbon-dioxide is produced and energy is released, thus producing the energy your body needs.


"Hemoglobin" is a protein with Red Blood cells (also referred to as RBC's) that are responsible for the transport of oxygen. The Cardiovascular System consists of the heart and vessels and may also be referred to as the vascular system or the circulatory system. The heart functions as a muscular pump that pushes blood through the vessels to all areas of the body and the vessels function to carry it back to the heart as well. Hence the name "circulatory."

Rina8888 [55]
The climate in Singapore is equatorial, ie hot, humid and rainy, throughout the year. The country, which is at the same time an island, a city and a state, is actually at the Equator, in an area where there is always the opportunity for the formation of showers and thunderstorms. 
Although the climate is fairly uniform, you may notice some changes in the course of the year, due to the two monsoons: the one from the north-east, occurring from November to early March, is more rainy especially in the first part, and the one from the south-west, occurring from June to September. The first period between the two monsoon, from March to early June, is the hottest and the most unpleasant of the year.
