- How the body systems interact
- Respiratory and Digestive system
- Respiratory system collects oxygen from the atmosphere carbon dioxide into the blood and at the same time releases carbon dioxide.
- The lungs are the main organ of RS and are specially adapted to provide a large surface area for gas exchange.
- The Digestive system breaks down large insoluble food molecules into small soluble food molecules. We use glucose for energy but we need many other things if we want to have a balanced diet.
- Circulatory system
- The heart, blood vessels and blood, transport glucose and oxygen (and other things) around the body.
- It has to be in good condition
- The heart is a strong muscle and needs exercise to stay in good shape
- Exercise also helps to improve the blood flow through the blood vessels
- A bad diet, smoking, to much alcohol, and lack of exercise can cause blood vessels to 'fur up' (Arteriosclerosis).
- Skeletal system
- Glucose and oxygen are used in all cells to release energy in the process of respiration
- For example: In Muscle cells when they are released in respiration it is transferred into movement energy
- Muscles work by shortening, and use the long bones of the body as levers, this produces a wide range of movement
- Exercising the muscles is a god thing for general fitness. But there are lots of other ways.
- Muscles work by shortening, and use the long bones of the body as levers, this produces a wide range of movement
- A person should try to achieve some degree of strength, suppleness, speed, stamina and good body shape
- A person should try to achieve some degree of strength, suppleness, speed, stamina and good body shape
- The skeleton supports and protects our body, besides providing a framework for movement
- Glucose and oxygen are used in all cells to release energy in the process of respiration
