Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems

Master the cardiovascular and respiratory systems! Learn how your body gets oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.

Instructions "SAVE" and "HAND IN WORK"At the bottom of the worksheet is a "SAVE" and “HAND IN WORK” option. If you can’t finish the worksheet in one sitting make sure you go down and click "SAVE". Once you are finished click on the “HAND IN WORK ” button and I will be able to see your work. Sort the organs so that they are under their body system. Circulatory System heart vein artery capillary blood Respiratory System lung trachea bronchi larynx alveoli (air sac) The diaphragm is made of _ tissue. When it contracts the chest cavity expands to create more room for the lungs. muscle connective nervous epithelial Which blood vessels carry oxygen rich blood away from the heart? vein artery capillary Which is NOT part of the blood? red blood cell platelet capillary plasma white blood cell Matching Click and drag the line to connect the organ with its function. heart pumps blood alveoli oxygen enters blood capillary oxygen enters the cell The respiratory system works with the cardiovascular system to remove oxygen from the body. true false The nervous system works with the cardiovascular system to move oxygen through the body. true false Sort the function under each system. circulatory system function pump blood carry nutrients to all cells carry oxygen to all cells respiratory system function get oxygen in to the body get carbon dioxide out of the body Use the word bank to fill in the missing words. The cardiovascular system and respiratory system work to get oxygen in and carbon dioxide out of the body. The body needs oxygen and glucose (sugar) to create energy. In the cells, energy is made in the mitochondria. When the mitochondria are done converting cellular energy, there is a byproduct called carbon dioxide. If the carbon dioxide stays inside of the cell it will eventually die. Oxygen rich blood is pumped through the arteries to the capillaries so it can supply the cells with oxygen. Blood transports carbon dioxide away from the cell through the process of diffusion. Oxygen poor blood is transported back through veins to the heart where it is pumped into the blood vessels of the lungs. The lungs have special structures known as alveoli. In the alveoli, diffusion occurs allowing for oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be removed from the body.
