The circulatory or cardiovascular system's ability to deliver oxygen throughout the body depends on proper functioning of the respiratory system. The interactions between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems are best demonstrated by following the path of a red blood cell starting in the heart and traveling through the lungs.

A red blood cell that has just returned from delivering oxygen and that has brought back carbon dioxide would be in the right upper chamber of the heart or in the right atrium. When the atrium contracts, the cell is pumped into the right lower chamber of the heart, or the right ventricle. When that ventricle contracts, the red blood cell is pumped out of the heart through the pulmonary artery to the lungs.

In the lungs, the red blood cell enters tiny blood vessels that come into close contact with the walls of the alveoli air sacs of the lungs. The carbon dioxide in the red blood cell passes through the walls into the alveoli while the oxygen in the alveoli air passes into the red blood cell. The red blood cell then returns to the heart via the pulmonary vein.

From the pulmonary vein, the red blood cell enters the left atrium of the heart and then the left ventricle. The part of the heart muscle powering the left ventricle is very strong because it has to push the blood out to the whole body. The red blood cell is pumped out of the left ventricle via the aorta artery and eventually reaches the capillaries leading to the individual cells. There the cells absorb the oxygen from the red blood cell and pass on their waste carbon dioxide. The red blood cell returns to the right atrium of the heart via the veins to complete the cycle.

These circulatory and respiratory system interactions are ones that humans and higher animals such as mammals and birds share and that represent one of the basic functions of their bodies. Only when these two systems work and interact properly can the human or animal carry out other functions such as looking for food or reproducing.

What is the critical difference between gemmulation and fragmentation?
natulia [17]

Answer:

d. Gemmulation involves providing a resistant layer of cells for a capsule; fragmentation is merely breaking off chunks of tissue to grow a new organism

Explanation:

Gemmulation and fragmentation are both a type of asexual reproduction. Gemmulation starts when mass of cell which is produced asexually that are capable of producing a new organism.  

These mass of cells gets surrounded by a protective covering which provide a resistant layer of cell and the structure is called gemmule.

In fragmentation, the parent body part breaks from the whole body and gives rise to a new organism. For example in planaria. So the correct answer is d.

List five factors or behaviors that affect cholesterol levels in the body, how these factors affect cholesterol levels, and whet
anyanavicka [17]
Hey there,
Q1 & Q2) 
1) Heredity- Genes carry genetic information for cholesterol. So, it can be passed down from your parents.
2) Diet- Cholesterol depends on the food you eat. If you eat food with too much saturated fat, you get a high level of cholesterol. 
3) Weight- If you are obese, you are more prone to get cholesterol. Thus, you need to lose weight
4) Exercise- Exercise regularly to maintain a perfect cholesterol level
5) Stress- If you are a student, take breaks in between study timings to keep you less stress or if you are an adult, go for walks and do something that you like the most to calm your brain down.

Q3) Cholesterol causes plague to grow in your hearts. This thick, hard plague will block the arteries and will cause heart attacks and strokes. 

Q4) Pros- <span>Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, lowers risks of heart attacks and strokes
       Cons- C</span><span>ould create too many HDL leaving not enough cholesterol for the body to be healthy.

Hope this helps :))

Leokris [45]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>Base</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>isolated</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>system</u></em></h2>

Explanation:

<u>Fixed based system:- </u>

A fixed-base building (built directly on the ground) will move with an earthquake’s motion and can sustain extensive damage as a result. 

<u>Base isolated system:-</u>

A base isolation system is a method of seismic protection where the structure (superstructure) is separated from the base (foundation or substructure).

<em><u>Hence</u></em><em><u>,</u></em>
