Digestive, Respiratory, Circulatory, and Excretory Systems Human Systems Digestive, Respiratory, Circulatory, and Excretory Systems
Digestive System Delivers nutrients (glucose) to the circulatory system
Respiratory System Oxygen molecules move from the air to the alveoli of the lungs and then to the circulatory system O₂ O₂
Circulatory System From the circulatory system, glucose and oxygen molecules move from the capillaries into the cells of the body where cellular respiration occurs
Cellular respiration oxidized O₂ + C6H12O6 CO₂ + H₂O + ATP (glucose) (energy)
Removal of CO₂ The gas exchange process is reversed for the removal of CO₂ CO₂ CO₂
Homeostasis - Blood Sugar The concentration of sugar in the blood is monitored Sugar can be stored or pulled from reserves (glycogen) in the liver and muscles to maintain a constant blood sugar level
Amino Acids Amino Acids contained in proteins can also serve as an energy source, but first they must be deaminated, or chemically converted in the liver This produces a toxic ammonia product, which is converted to water-soluble urea and excreted by the kidneys
What is the main purpose of the Respiratory System? What is the main purpose of the Digestion System? Write the formula for Cellular respiration? What is a main purpose of the Circulatory system?
