Circulatory and

Respiratory System,
Working Together.
Trivia!
Over 300 Million alveoli are
found in the lungs!
Objectives:

 Know the relationship of Respiratory and Circulatory

System.
 Know the importance of Alveoli and Capillaries in the
Respiratory and Circulatory System.
 Similarities and Differences of Circulatory and Respiratory
System.
 Know how the exchange of Gases occur between the Lungs
and the Blood.
Human Respiratory System

 Takesup oxygen from air and

supplies it to blood.
 Removal and disposal of carbon
dioxide from blood (waste product
from cellular respiration).
Respiratory System
The Air Sacs,
Alveoli and
Capillaries.
The Air Sacs

 Looks like brunches of grapes.

 Functioning System of the
Lungs.
 Each air sac is composed of
several microscopic out
pocketing called alveoli.
Alveoli

Tiny air sacs of the lungs

which allow for rapid
gaseous exchange.
Capillaries surround the
alveoli.
Capillaries

It’swhere the
exchange of gases
occur.
Oxygen and Carbon
Dioxide
Gas exchange

 Wallsare one-cell
thick, this allows the
exchange of gases in
the blood and the
lungs.
Circulatory System- Main Organs
 Heart- is the pump
 Arteries and Veins
Arteries away from the Heart
Veins to heart
 Capillaries- where diffusion happens
Circulatory System
 Circulate of blood
throughout the body.
 Transport oxygen to cells.
 Transport carbon dioxide
away from cells.
The Heart
Similarity
and
Difference
!
Similarity
 When deoxygenated
blood enters the heart
and it is then transported
via pulmonary veins to be
oxygenated by the lungs.
 Both systems involve
oxygen for the body to
work.
Respiratory vs Circulatory
Respiratory Circulatory

Consists of Nose, Nasal Cavity, Consists of heart, blood, blood

Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, vessels, lymph and lymph nodes.
Bronchioles, Alveoli.

Main organ is the Lungs. Main organ is the Heart.

No networks of blood vessels . Has networks of blood vessels.

The requirement of oxygen and Transportation of substances

carbon dioxide is fulfilled by the throughout the body tissues via
respiratory system. blood is done by the circulatory
system.
WATCH THIS TO SUM
IT UP! ;)
Assessment;)
Mechanics for the game!

 Group yourselves into 6.

 Prepare ¼ sheet of pad paper and write the
names of your groupmates.
 I have 6 questions and for every set of
question I need a different representative. So
every one of you has a chance to stand and
play in the front.
 Lastly, Have Fun!
Question 1:

How many alveoli are found

in the human lungs?
Answer:

300 Million!
Question 2:

What is the functioning

system of the lungs?
Answer:

Air Sacs
Question 3:
Which type of blood
vessel carries oxygenated
blood?
Answer:

Arteries
Question 4:

What helps the blood

cells flowing?
Answer:

Plasma
Question 5:

It is where the exchange

of gas occur.
Answer:

Capillaries
Question 6:

Differentiate Circulatory and

Respiratory System to your
classmates. Give at least 2.
