Remember
1. State the word equation for cellular respiration.
2. Identify the molecule that the respiratory system and circulatory system work together to:
(a) supply to your cells
(b) remove from your cells.
3. Construct a flowchart to show the transport of:
(a) oxygen from your nose to your alveoli
(b) oxygen from your lungs to haemoglobin in your red blood cells
(c) oxygenated blood from your lungs to your body cells
(d) deoxygenated blood from your body cells to your lungs
(e) carbon dioxide from your lungs to your nose.
4. Construct a diagram to show the interactions between your heart, body cells and blood vessels.
