The circulatory system 13
Scanned with CamScanner._ Identify Structure A. What happens in Structure A in System 1?
Ais the small intestines. Digested food is absorbed into the blood stream.
|. Identify Structure B. What is the main function of Structure B in System 2?
Bis the heart, It pumps blood to all parls of the body.
|. Identify Structure C. What happens at C in System 3? How is C linked to System 2?
Cis the lung. Oxygen from the air enters the lungs. Oxygen is then absorbed into the
blood in the circulatory system. Carbon dioxide and water vapour leaves the blood in
the circulatory system at C and enters the lungs.
. Explain what happens when:
{a) System 1 breaks down
If'System 1 breaks down, our body will not be able to produce energy. Systems 2
and 3 as well as all other systems in the body will stop functioning.
{b) System 2 breaks down
Digested food from A and oxygen from C will not be able to reach the parts of
the body that require them. Waste substances such as carbon dioxide and water
vopour will nol be able to leave the cells that produce them. Systems land 3 as
well as all olher systems in Ihe body will stop functioning.
(c) System 3 breaks down
When System 3 breaks down, the body will not be able to produce energy as
