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.

Answer: People who have received radiation treatment are 15 times more likely to develop benign thyroid tumors relative to does who have not.

Explanation:

Relative risk of benign thyroid tumor = (52/2872)/(6/5055)

= 0.018/0.0012

= 15

Compare and contrast dehydration synthesis(condesation) and hydrolysis.
dexar [7]

Answer:

This

Explanation:

In dehydration synthesis reactions, a water molecule is formed as a result of generating a covalent bond between two monomeric components in a larger polymer. In hydrolysis reactions, a water molecule is consumed as a result of breaking the covalent bond holding together two components of a polymer.Aug 14, 2020

In diabetic patients, what molecule is missing in the transport system
Oksanka [162]
The answer to this question would be: insulin

Insulin is a hormone that produced by the pancreas. Insulin makes sugar go inside cells. Sugar is the food for cells. Without insulin, the sugar can't enter the cell and the cell food is depleted. This will cause the body feel that the sugar is not enough and trying to increase the sugar concentration. This will result in the increases of blood sugar level.

Answer:

C) Mass

Explanation:

Mass is made up by the amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an object. Mass is essentially the capacity of an object, which many times is mistaken for weight.

Shape, color, and size are all common ways to determine the species of the bird, when only looking at the egg.

Hope this helps! :)
