Lucille is finding it difficult to play soccer after school. Her doctor thinks that her cells might not be getting enough oxygen
. When Lucille talked about it with her friend, her friend said there might be a problem with Lucille‘s respiratory system or circulatory system. What do Lucille cells need an order for her body to function properly? How might a problem with Lucille‘s respiratory system and circulatory system make it difficult for Lucille to play soccer?
Circulation of blood and oxygen is possible in body when circulatory system work along with respiratory system. Through tranche air moves in and out from lungs, whereas, through pulmonary arteries and veins (both connected to heart) blood moves in and out from the lungs. As Lucille is facing problem in his respiratory and circulatory system hence, it is difficult for him to play soccer because under normal circumstances when there is increase in physical activity then muscle cell respire more as compare to when the body is on rest. So, with increase of physical activity there is also increase in the rate of breathing which result in more absorption of oxygen and more removal of carbon dioxide but if there is problem in respiratory and circulatory system, for example, infection in throat due to pollution,etc. then this normal process of breathing gets affected which sometime may prove fatal to the person.
