Blood

Blood is respon­­sible for:
• Transp­­orting gases (Oxygen, Carbon dioxide)
• Transp­­orting water
• Transp­­orting Nutrients
• Transp­­orting Wastes
• Delivering immune cells to fight disease
• Transp­­orting heat

Parts of blood

1 %
immue cells
plasma
liquid portion of blood blood
54 %
where carbon dioxide is disolved

breathing

In the lungs, oxygen travels to thousands of tiny air sacs called alveoli.
These are covered in capill­­aries, The increased surface area-b­­ecause of these tiny air sacs- paired with thin walls, increase the rate of gas diffusion into/from the capill­­aries

Inhale­/exhale

Inhala­­tion. Ribcage moves outward and the lungs expand, Air moves in, Diaphragm moves down, volume of chest cavity increases, interc­­ostal muscles contract, decreases pressure in chest cavity.

Exhala­­tion, ribcage moves inward and the lungs contract, air moves out, diaphragm moves up, volume of chest cavity decreases, interc­­ostal muscles expand, increases pressure in chest cavity.

Breathing out is called relaxing, breathing in is called contra­­cting.
