- Q1How do the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to transport nutrients, gases, and other molecules to and from the different parts of the body?The respiratory system pumps blood throughout the body while the circulatory system oxygenates the bloodThe circulatory system oxygenates the blood while the respiratory system pumps blood throughout the bodyThe respiratory system oxygenates the blood sent by the circulatory system and expels carbon dioxide, while the circulatory system delivers these oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.Both systems do not interact with each other at all30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q2What would happen if the respiratory and circulatory systems did not work together properly?The body's cells would not get the oxygen they need, and waste gases wouldn't be efficiently expelledThe body would produce too much bloodThe body would not be able to contract musclesThe body would not be able to digest food properly30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q3How are nutrients transported throughout the body?Nutrients are transported by the digestive system.Nutrients are transported by the nervous system.Nutrients are transported by the muscular system.The circulatory system, using the blood as a vehicle, carries nutrients to all parts of the body.30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q4What role does blood play when the respiratory and circulatory systems work together?Blood transports oxygen from the respiratory system and delivers it to the rest of the body through the circulatory system.Blood provides strength to the lungs to pump air in and out.Blood helps the respiratory system expel all types of gases, not just carbon dioxide.Blood generates oxygen for the respiratory system.30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q5What role does the heart play in the collaboration between the respiratory and circulatory systems?The heart cools down the blood before it reaches the lungs.The heart filters the carbon dioxide out of the blood.The heart injects additional oxygen into the blood.The heart pumps the oxygen-rich blood delivered from the respiratory system to the rest of the body.30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q6How is carbon dioxide expelled from the body?The circulatory system carries blood with carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs. We then exhale this carbon dioxide out through our respiratory system.The respiratory system absorbs carbon dioxide and releases it through the skin.The circulatory system directly filters out carbon dioxide from the body.The digestive system expels carbon dioxide when we excrete waste products.30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q7What important role do the lungs play in the interaction between the respiratory and circulatory systems?Lungs push the blood throughout the body.Lungs filter out impurities from the blood.Lungs absorb oxygen into the blood and release carbon dioxide from the blood to be exhaled.Lungs increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood.30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q8What molecule in the blood carries oxygen from the respiratory system to the rest of the body?HemoglobinPlasmaWhite blood cellsPlatelets30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q9What happens to the oxygen once it gets delivered to the body's cells?It is used for cellular respiration to produce energy.It is used to digest food.It is stored for later use.It is expelled as a waste product.30sS9LT-la-b-26
- Q10How does the circulatory system help to remove waste products from the body's cells?It absorbs all waste products for reuseIt breaks down waste products in the blood vesselsIt carries waste products like carbon dioxide to the lungs from where it is exhaledIt flushes out waste products through the skin30sS9LT-la-b-26
