Every minute , your heart beats about 75 to 85 times . With each beat , it pumps about 60 milliliters of blood . Can you work as hard and fast as your heart does ?

Cover a table or desk with newspapers . Place two large plastic containers side by side on the newspapers . Fill one with liters of water , which is about the volume of blood that your heart pumps in 30 seconds . Leave the other container empty . With a plastic cup that holds about 60 milliliters , transfer water as quickly as possible into the empty container , trying not to spill any . CAUTION Wipe up spills on the floor immediately . Have a partner time you for 30 seconds . As you work , count how many transfers you make in 30 seconds . Multiply your results by to find the number of transfers in minute .

Late at night , a truck rolls through the darkness . Loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables , the truck is headed for a city market . The driver steers off the interstate and onto a smaller highway . Finally , after driving through narrow city streets . the truck reaches its destination . As dawn breaks , store workers unload the cargo . At the same time , a garbage truck removes yesterdays trash and drives off down the road . The Cardiovascular System Like the roads that link all parts of the country , your body has a highway network , called the cardiovascular system , that links all parts of your body . The cardiovascular system , also called the circulatory system , consists of the heart . blood , and blood . The cardiovascular system carries needed substances to cells and carries waste products away from cells . In addition , blood contains cells that light disease .

Delivering Needed Materials Most substances that need to get from one part of the body to another are carried by blood . For example , blood carries oxygen from your lungs to your other body cells . Blood also transports the glucose your cells use to produce energy . Removing Waste Products The system picks up wastes from cells . For example , when cells break down cose , they produce carbon dioxide as a waste product . The carbon dioxide passes from the cells into the blood . The cardiovascular system then carries carbon dioxide to the lungs , where it is exhaled . Fighting Disease The cardiovascular system also transports cells that attack microorganisms . This process can help keep you from becoming sick . if you do get sick , these blood cells will detect and kill the isms and help you get well .

Go active gig For lhe Heart activity Web Code The Heart Without the heart , blood wouldn go anywhere . The heart is , muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body . Each time the heart beats , it pushes blood through the blood vessels of the cardiovascular system . Your heart , shown in Figure , is about the size of your . It is located in the center of your chest . The heart lies behind the sternum ( breastbone ) and inside the rib cage . It is made of cardiac muscle tissue , which can contract over and over out getting tired . FIGURE The Heart Right ventricle The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs . Major vein from lower body to heart 5549 Every second of your life , your heart pumps blood through your body . In a year , the heart pumps enough blood to fill more than 30 swimming pools . Major Vein from left ventricle upper body to heart to the body . 359 , Atrium Artery from The right atrium receives heart to blood from the body that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide . Aorta The aorta carries blood from the Left Atrium blood moves from the lungs into the left atrium . Left ventricle The left ventricle pumps blood to all parts of the body . The septum prevents and blood from mixing in the heart . I

the Heart structure The heart has a right side and a left side . The right side of the heart is completely separated from called the side has two compartments , or upper chamber and a lower chamber . Each of the two upper chambers , called an atrium ( AY tree um ) plural atria ) receives blood that comes into the heart . Located in the right atrium is a group of heart cells called the pacemaker , which sends out signals that make the heart muscle contract . Bach lower chamber , called a ventricle , pumps blood out of the heart . The atria are separated from the ventricles by valves . A valve is a of tissue that prevents blood from backward . Valves are also located between the ventricles and the large blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart . How the Heart Works The action of the heart has two main phases . In one phase , the heart muscle relaxes and the heart with blood . In the other phase , the heart muscle contracts and pumps blood forward . A heartbeat , which sounds something like , can be heard during the pumping phase . When the heart muscle relaxes , blood into the bers . Then , the atria contract , squeezing blood out of the atria , through the valves , and into the ventricles . Next , the ventricles contract . This contraction closes the valves between the atria and ventricles , making the lab sound and squeezing blood into large blood vessels . As the valves between the ventricles and the blood vessels snap shut , they make the dup sound . When muscle cells in the ventricles , they exert a force on the blood . A force is a push or a pull . The force exerted by the ventricles pushes blood out of your heart and into blood vessels . The contraction of the left ventricle exerts much more force than the contraction of the right ventricle . open Valve what is the role of the pacemaker ?

Open and Closed Heart Valves As blood flows out of the heart and toward the lungs , it passes through a valve like the one in the photograph . Applying Concepts What is the function of a closed heart valve ?

14 555 Getting Blood to Body Calls During strenuous exercise , such as swimming . the pattern of blood flow through the body ensures that body cells get the oxygen they need quickly and efficiently . skill . Activity mu Creating Data Tables Scientists measured the ume of blood that different organs receive , at rest and during vigorous exercise . At rest , the organs of the abdomen received about of blood per minute ( During vigorous exercise , they received 600 . At rest , skeletal muscles received . vigorous exercise , they received about ' At rest . the kidneys received . During vigorous exercise , they received about 600 . Create a table to record these data . Then , use the data to infer why some organs receive more blood during exercise than others . A System After leaving the heart , blood travels in blood vessels through the body . Your body has three kinds of blood , capillaries , and veins . Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart . From the arteries , blood into tiny , narrow vessels called capillaries . In the capillaries , stances are exchanged between the blood and body cells . From capillaries , blood into veins , blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart . Pattern of Blood Flow The overall pattern of blood through the body is something like a eight . The heart is at the center where the two loops cross . In the first loop , blood travels from the heart to the lungs and then back to the heart . In the second loop . blood is pumped from the heart throughout the body and then returns again to the heart . The heart is really two pumps , one on the right and one on the left . The right side pumps blood to the lungs , and the left side pumps blood to the rest of the body . Blood travels in only one direction . If you were a drop of blood , you could start at any point and eventually return to the same point . The entire trip would take less than a minute . As you read about the path that blood takes through the vascular system , trace the path in Figure . Loop One To the Lungs and Back When blood from the body into the right atrium , it contains little oxygen but a lot of carbon dioxide . This blood is dark red . The blood then from the right atrium into the right ventricle . Then , the ventricle pumps the blood into the arteries that lead to the lungs .

As blood through the lungs , large blood vessels branch into smaller ones . Eventually , blood through tiny ies that are in close contact with the air that comes into the lungs . The air in the lungs has more oxygen than the blood in the capillaries , so oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood . For the same reason . carbon dioxide moves in the opposite the blood into the lungs . As the blood leaves the lungs . it is now rich in oxygen and poor in carbon dioxide . This blood , which is bright red , to the left side of the heart and will be pumped through the second loop . Loop No To the Body and Back The second loop begins as the left atrium with blood coming from the lungs . The blood then moves into the left ventricle . From the left ventricle , the blood is pumped into the aorta ( ay tuh ) the largest artery in the body . Eventually , after passing through branching arteries , blood through tiny capillaries in different parts of your body , such as your brain , liver , and legs . These vessels are in close contact with body cells . Oxygen moves out of the blood and into the body cells . At the same time , carbon dioxide passes from the body cells and into the blood . This blood , which is low in oxygen , then flows back to the right atrium of the heart through veins , completing the second loop . Loop One to the lungs and back to the heart and back to the heart Direction of Blood Flow Blood circulates through the body in two loops , with the heart at the center . Loop one goes from the heart to the lungs and back . Loop two circulates blood throughout the rest of the body . Interpreting Diagrams Where does the blood that enters the left atrium come from ?

Chapter 14 557 Artery Capillary Layer of epithelial cells Smooth muscle Connective tissue epithelial cells . FIGURE Artery , Capillary , and Vein The walls of arteries and veins have three layers . The walls of capillaries are only one cell thick . Relating Cause and Effect How does material get from inside capillaries to body cells ?

A The artery wall appears as a thick pink band surrounding a clump of red blood cells . Arteries When blood leaves the heart , it travels through arteries . The right ventricle pumps blood into the arteries that go to the lungs . The left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta Smaller arteries branch off the aorta . The first branches , called the coronary arteries , carry blood to the heart itself . Other branches carry blood to the brain , intestines , and other organs . Each artery branches into smaller and smaller arteries . Artery Structure The walls of arteries are generally . In fact , artery walls consist of three cell layers . The innermost layer , which is made up of epithelial cells , is smooth . This smooth surface enables blood to flow freely . The middle layer consists mostly of muscle tissue . The outer wall is made I ture , arteries have both strength and . Arteries are able to withstand the enormous pressure of blood as it is pumped by the heart and to expand and relax between heartbeats . Pulse If you lightly touch the inside of your wrist , you can ( feel the artery in your wrist rise and fall repeatedly . This pulse is caused by the alternating expansion and relaxation of the artery wall . Every time the hearts ventricles contract , they send a spurt of blood out through all the arteries in your body . As this spurt travels through the arteries , it pushes the artery walls Single layer of and makes them expand . After the spurt passes , the artery walls relax and become narrower again . When you count the number of times an artery pulses beneath your , you are counting heartbeats . By taking your up of connective tissue . Because of this layered i pulse rate , you can determine how fast your heart is beating . 5580

Vein Layer of epithelial cells , Smooth muscle Connective tissue Regulating Blood Flow The layer of muscle in an artery acts as a control gate , adjusting the amount of blood sent to different organs . When the muscle contracts , the opening in the artery becomes smaller . When the muscle relaxes . the opening becomes larger . For example , after you eat , your ach and intestines need a greater blood supply for digestion . The arteries leading to those organs open wider . and more blood flows through them . In contrast , when you are running , your stomach and intestines need less blood than the muscles in your legs . The arteries leading to the digestive organs become narrower , decreasing the blood to these organs . What causes your pulse ?

Capillaries Eventually , blood from small arteries into the tiny . In the capillaries , materials are exchanged between the blood and the body cells . Capillary walls are only one cell thick . Thus , materials can pass easily through them . rials such as oxygen and glucose pass from the blood , through the capillary walls , to the cells . Cellular waste products travel in the opposite cells , through the capillary walls . and into the blood . One way that materials are exchanged between the blood and body cells is by diffusion . Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration . For example , glucose is more highly concentrated in the blood than it is in the body cells . Therefore , glucose diffuses from the blood into the body cells . Calculating a Rate A rate is the speed at which something happens . When you calculate a rate , you compare the number of events with the time period in which they occur . how to calculate the pulse rate of a person whose heart beats 142 times in minutes . Write the comparison as a fraction . 142 heartbeats minutes . Divide the numerator and the denominator by . The person pulse rate is 71 heartbeats per minute . Practice Problem Calculate your pulse rate if your heart beats 170 times in minutes . 559

The walls of arteries are . and . Although the walls of veins also consist of three layers . they are much thinner than the walls of arteries . Artery and Vein In this photo , you can compare the wall of an artery ( top ) with the wall of a vein ( bottom ) Comparing and Contrasting Where is the pushing force of the heart arteries or in veins ?

5600 Veins After blood moves through capillaries , it enters larger blood vessels called veins , which carry blood back to the heart . The walls of veins , like those of arteries , have three layers , with muscle in the middle layer . However , the walls of veins are generally much thinner than those of arteries . By the time blood into veins , the pushing force of the heart has much less effect than it did in the arteries . eral factors help move blood through veins . First , because many veins are located near skeletal muscles , the contraction of the muscles helps push the blood along . For example , as you run or walk , the skeletal muscles in your legs contract and the veins in your legs . Second , larger veins in your body have valves in them that prevent the of blood . Third , breathing movements , which exert a squeezing pressure against veins in the chest , also force blood toward the heart . Blood Pressure Suppose that you are washing a car . You attach the hose to the faucet and turn on the faucet . The water flows out in a slow , steady stream . Then , while your back is turned , your little brother turns the faucet on all the way . Suddenly , the water spurts out rapidly , and the hose almost jumps out of your hand . As water flows through a hose , it pushes against the walls of the hose , creating pressure on its inner surface . Pressure is force per unit area . It can be measured in various units . When your brother turned on the faucet all the way , the additional water increased the pressure exerted on the inside of the hose . The extra pressure made the water spurt out of the nozzle faster . How do skeletal muscles help move veins ?

What Causes Blood Pressure ?

Blood traveling through blood vessels resembles water moving through a hose . Blood exerts a force , called blood pressure , against the walls of the blood vessels . Blood pressure is caused by the force with which the ventricles contract . This action increases the sure on the blood and forces it through the vessels . In eral , as blood moves away from the heart . blood pressure decreases . The blood through your arteries exerts the highest pressure . Blood pressure in your capillaries and veins is much lower than in your arteries .

Measuring Blood Pressure Blood pressure can be measured with an instrument called a sphygmomanometer ( moh muh uh tur ) A cuff is wrapped around the upper arm . Air is pumped into the cuff until the blood through the artery is stopped . As the pressure is released , the examiner listens to the pulse and records two numbers . Blood pressure is expressed in millimeters of mercury ( The number is a measure of the blood sure while the heart ventricles contract and pump blood into the arteries . The second ber , which is lower , measures the blood pressure while the ventricles relax . The two numbers are expressed as a fraction the contraction pressure over the relaxation pressure . FIGURE Measuring Blood Pressure Blood pressure can be measured with a sphygmomanometer . A typical blood pressure reading for a healthy person is or lower . Section Reading ?

While riding your bike through the neighborhood , you take a tumble and scrape your knee . Your knee begins to sting , and you notice blood oozing from the wound . You go inside to clean the wound . As you do , you wonder , Iust what is blood ?

Blood Blood may seem like just a plain red liquid , but it is actually a complex tissue that has several parts . Blood is made up of four components plasma , red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets . About 45 percent of the volume of blood is cells . The rest is plasma . Plasma Most of the materials transported in the blood travel in the plasma . Plasma is the liquid part of the blood . Water makes up 90 percent of plasma . The other 10 percent is solved materials . Plasma carries nutrients , such as glucose , fats , vitamins , and minerals . Plasma also carries chemical gers that direct body activities such as the uptake of glucose by your cells . In addition , many wastes produced by cell processes are carried away by plasma . Protein molecules give plasma its yellow color . There are three groups of plasma proteins . One group helps to regulate the amount of water in blood . The second group , which is by white blood cells , helps disease . The third group of proteins interacts with platelets to form blood clots . chapter 14 563

Writing a Hypothesis Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough of either red blood cells or hemoglobin . Write a hypothesis that describes how a person who has anemia might be affected during everyday physical . Red Blood Calls Without red blood cells , your body could not use the oxygen that you breathe in . Red blood cells take up oxygen in the lungs and deliver it to cells elsewhere in the body . Red blood cells , like most blood cells . are produced in bone marrow . Under a microscope . these cells look like disks with centers . Because of their pinched shape , red blood cells are thin in the middle and can bend and twist easily . This enables them to squeeze through narrow capillaries . A red blood cell is made mostly of hemoglobin ( HEE muh bin ) which is an protein that binds chemically to oxygen molecules . When hemoglobin combines with oxygen , the cells become bright red . Without oxygen , the cells are dark red . Thus , blood leaving the heart through the aorta is bright red , whereas blood returning from the body to the heart through veins is dark red . Hemoglobin picks up gen in the lungs and releases it as blood travels through in the rest of the body . Hemoglobin also picks up some of the carbon dioxide produced by . However , most of the carbon dioxide is carried by plasma . The blood carries the bon dioxide to the lungs , where it is released from the body . Mature red blood cells have no nuclei . Without a nucleus , a red blood cell can not reproduce or repair itself . Mature red blood cells live only about 120 days . Every second , about lion red blood cells in your body die . Fortunately , your bone marrow produces new red blood cells at the same rate .

White Blood Cells Like red blood cells , white blood cells are produced in bone marrow . White blood cells are the body disease . Some white blood cells recognize organisms , such as bacteria , and alert the bodY , that it has been invaded . Other white blood cells produce chemicals to the invaders . Still others surround and kill the organisms . 54 ?

White blood cells are different from red blood cells in era important ways . There are fewer of about one white blood cell for every 500 to red blood cells . White blood cells are also larger than red blood cells . in addition , white blood cells contain nuclei . Most white blood cells can live i ' for months or even years . I Is 90 wage Protein molecules ' Parts of Blood I Blood consists of liquid plasma , red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets . Observing Describe the shape of a red blood cell . Red Blood Cells A Oxygen is carried throughout your body by red blood cells . Your blood contains more red blood cells than any other kind of cell . Blood cells By and destroying organisms . white blood cells fight disease . Platelets When you cut yourself , platelets help form the blood clot that stops the bleeding . Platelets are really whole cells . Instead , they are small pieces of cells and do not have nuclei . chapter 14 565

Red blood cells Fibrin A nouns 10 Formation of a Blood Clot When you cut your skin , a blood clot forms . The blood clot consists of blood cells trapped in a fiber net . Relating Cause and Effect How is this net of produced ?

Caught in the Web In this activity , you will model part of the process by which a blood clot forms . Cover the opening of a sturdy plastic cup with a piece of cheesecloth . Use a rubber band to hold the cheesecloth in place . Put some water , paper clips , and coins in another cup . Carefully pour the water . coins , and paper clips into the middle of the cheesecloth . Making Models The paper clips and coins represent blood cells . What does the cheesecloth represent ?

What starts the production of the substance that the cheesecloth represents ?

5660 Platelets When you scraped your knee , blood oozed out of the wound . After a short time , however , a blood clot formed , stopping the blood flow . Platelets ( lits ) are cell ments that play an important part in forming blood clots . When a blood vessel is cut , platelets collect and stick to the vessel at the site of the wound . The platelets release chemicals that start a chain reaction . This series of reactions eventually produces a protein called ( FY brin ) Fibrin gets its name from the fact that it weaves a net of tiny across the cut in the blood vessel . Look at Figure 10 to see how the net traps the blood cells . As more and more platelets and blood cells become trapped in the net , a blood clot forms . A scab is a dried blood clot on the skin surface . Blood Volume An adult of average size has about liters of blood . In contrast , an infant has a blood volume less than one tenth of that ! You and your classmates have blood volumes that may range from below liters to above liters . If you lose a small amount of blood from a minor injury , your blood ume is not greatly affected . Your body recovers quickly . ever , sometimes a person may suffer greater blood loss from a major injury or during surgery . This loss of blood volume is dangerous because it can send the body into shock . Shock is the failure of the circulatory system to provide an adequate supply of blood to all parts of the body . Other causes of shock include heart failure , infection . and emotional trauma . If not treated , shock may cause death . What is the role of platelets ?

Blood Types If a person loses a lot of from a wound or during or she may be given a blood transfusion . A blood transfusion is the transfer of blood from one person to bum another . Most early attempts at blood transfusion failed , but no one knew why until the early . At that time , Karl 33 , an Austrian American physician , tried mixing blood samples from pairs of people . Sometimes the two blood samples blended smoothly . In other cases , however . the red blood cells clumped together . This clumping accounted for the failure of many blood transfusions . If clumping occurs within the body , it clogs the capillaries and may lead to death . Marker Molecules went on to discover that there are four major types of A , AB , and . Blood types are determined by proteins known as marker that are on the red blood cells . if your blood type is A , you have the A marker . If your blood type is , you have the marker . People with type AB blood have both A and markers . People with type blood have neither A nor markers . Your plasma contains clumping proteins that recognize red blood cells with foreign markers ( not yours ) and make those cells clump together . For example , if you have blood type A , your blood contains clumping proteins that are . That is , they act against cells with markers . if you receive a fusion of type blood , your clumping proteins will make the foreign type cells clump together . work led to a better understanding of fusions . marker molecules on your red blood cells of broad he , she can determine your blood type and the type of blood that you receive in a transfusion . can safely receive in transfusions .

Calculating of the population is negative ?

5600 Safe Transfusion A person with type A blood can receive transfusions of either type A or type blood . Neither of these two blood types has markers . Thus they would not be recognized as foreign by the ing proteins in type A blood . A person with type AB blood can receive all blood types in transfusions because type AB blood has no clumping proteins . If you ever receive a transfusion , your blood type will be checked first . Then , donated blood that you can safely receive will be found . This process is called cross matching . You may have heard a doctor on a television show give the order to type and The doctor wants to out what blood type the patient has and then cross match it with donated blood . Factor also discovered the presence of another protein on red blood cells , which he called factor . About 85 percent of the people he tested had this protein , and about 15 percent lacked it . Like the A , AB , and blood types , the presence of factor is determined by a marker on the red blood cells . If your blood type is positive , you have the marker . If your blood type is negative , you lack the marker on your cells . If you are negative and ever received positive blood , you would develop clumping proteins in your plasma .

The Lymphatic System As blood travels through the capillaries in the cardiovascular system , some of the leaks out . It moves through the walls of capillaries and into surrounding tissues . This fluid carries materials that the cells in the tissues need . After bathing the cells , this moves into your body drainage system . called the ( lim FAT ik ) See Figure 13 on the next page . OThe lymphatic system is a network of vessels that returns the to the bloodstream . The lymphatic system acts something like rain gutters after a rainstorm , carrying the excess away . Lymph Once the is inside the lymphatic system , it is called lymph . Lymph consists of water and dissolved materials , such as glucose . It also contains some white blood cells that have left the capillaries .

The lymphatic system has no pump , so lymph moves slowly . Lymphatic vessels . which are part of the cardiovascular system , connect to large veins in the chest . Lymph empties into these veins , and the once again becomes part of the blood plasma . Lymph Nodes As lymph flows through the system , it passes through small knobs of tissue called lymph nodes . The lymph nodes filter lymph , trapping bacteria and other in the . When the body is an infection , the lymph nodes enlarge . If you ve ever had swollen glands when you ve been sick , you ve ally had swollen lymph nodes . vessel ' What is lymph ?

Jerry , the main character in Doris Lessing story Through the Tunnel , is on vacation at the seaside . Day after day , he watches some older boys dive into deep water on one side of a huge . The boys mysteriously reappear on the other side . out that there must be an underwater tunnel in the rock . He the tunnel beneath the water and decides to swim through it . Once inside , though , he is . The walls are slimy , and rocks scrape his body . He can barely see where he is going . But worst of all , Jerry has to hold his breath for far longer than ever before . The author describes Jerry this way His head was swelling , his lungs were cracking .

Respiratory System Functions No one can go for very long without breathing . Your body cells need oxygen , and they get that oxygen from the air you breathe . The respiratory system moves oxygen from the outside environment into the body . It also removes carbon dioxide and water from the body . Taking in Oxygen The oxygen your body needs comes from the mixture of gases that blankets Earth . Your body doesn use most of the other gases in the air you breathe in . When you exhale . most of the air goes bad into the atmosphere . Oxygen is needed for the chemical tions that take place inside your cells . Like a fire . which can not burn without oxygen , your cells can not burn enough fuel to keep you alive without oxygen . The process in which oxygen and glucose undergo a complex series of chemical reactions inside cells is called respiration . Respiration , which is also called cellular respiration , is different from breathing . ing refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs . on the other hand , refers to the chemical reactions inside cells . As a result of respiration , your cells release the energy that fuels growth and other cell processes . Removing Carbon Dioxide and Water In addition to the release of energy , respiration produces carbon dioxide and water . Your respiratory system eliminates the carbon dioxide and some of the water through your lungs . A Data The Air You Breathe The air you breathe in contains several different gases , shown in the circle graph on the left . The air you breathe out contains the same gases . but in the amounts shown in the circle graph on the right . Interpreting Data Based on the data , which gas is used by the body ?

Explain . Drawing Conclusions Compare the percentage of carbon dioxide in inhaled air with the percentage in exhaled air . How can you account for the difference ?

Inferring Explain why the percentage of nitrogen is the same in both inhaled air and exhaled air . Carbon dioxide Carbon Other gases dioxide Chapter 14 571 ' Your Cells Oxygen and glucose are both carried to cells by the blood . During cellular respiration , oxygen reacts with glucose to release energy . In Body Cells Circulatory System Both oxygen and glucose are ( al ( by blood to body cells In body cells , glucose With oxygen to release energy Systems Working Together The respiratory system is just one of the body systems that makes respiration possible . As you can see in Figure 14 , respiration could not take place without the digestive and circulatory systems as well . Your respiratory system brings oxygen into your lungs . Meanwhile , your digestive system absorbs glucose from the food you eat . Then , your circulatory system carries both the oxygen and the glucose to your cells , where respiration occurs . The Path of Air If you look toward a window on a bright day , you may see tiny particles dancing in the air . These particles include such things as grains of dust , plant pollen , and ash from . Though you can see them , air also contains microorganisms . Some of these microorganisms can cause diseases in humans . When you breathe in , all these materials enter your body along with the air . However , most of these materials never reach your lungs . On its way to the lungs , air passes through a series of structures that and trap particles . These organs also warm and moisten the air . As air travels from the outside environment to the lungs , it passes through the following structures nose , pharynx , trachea , and bronchi . It takes air only a few seconds to complete the route from the nose to the lungs . 572 .

The Nose Air enters the body through the nose and then moves into spaces called the nasal cavities . Some of the cells lining the nasal cavities produce thick . sticky liquid that moistens the air and keeps the lining from drying out . Mucus also traps particles such as dust . Cells that line the nasal cavities have cilia ( ee uh ) tiny hairlike extensions that move together in a sweeping motion . Cilia sweep mucus into the throat , where you swallow it . ach acid destroys the mucus , and everything trapped in it . Some particles and bacteria can irritate the lining of your nose or throat , causing you to sneeze . The powerful force of a sneeze shoots the particles out of your nose and into the air .

What Do You Exhale ?

Learn whether carbon dioxide is present in exhaled air . Label two test tubes A and . Fill each test tube with 10 of water and a few drops of bromthymol blue solution . Bromthymol blue solution turns green or yellow in the presence of carbon dioxide . Using a straw , gently blow air into the liquid in test tube A for a few seconds . CAUTION Do not suck the solution back through the straw . Compare the solutions in the test tubes . Predicting Suppose you had exercised immediately before you blew into the straw . Predict how this would have affected the results . 574 The From the pharynx , air moves into the trachea ( TRAY uh ) or windpipe . You can feel your trachea if you gently run your down the center of your neck . The chea feels like a tube with a series of ridges . The ridges are rings of cartilage that strengthen the trachea and keep it open . The trachea , like the nose , is lined with cilia and mucus . The cilia in the trachea sweep upward , moving mucus toward the pharynx , where it is swallowed . The trachea cilia and mucus continue the cleaning and moistening of air that began in the nose . If particles irritate the lining of the trachea , you cough . A cough , like a sneeze , sends the particles into the air . Normally , only the trachea . If food does enter the trachea . the food can block the opening and vent air from getting to the lungs . When that happens , a person chokes . Fortunately , food rarely gets into the trachea . The epiglottis , a small of tissue that folds over the trachea , seals off the trachea while you swallow . The Bronchi and Lungs Air moves from the trachea to the bronchi ( ky ) singular bronchus ) the passages that direct air into the lungs . The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system . The left bronchus leads into the left lung , and the right bronchus leads into the right lung . Inside the lungs , each bronchus divides into smaller and smaller tubes in a pattern that resembles the branches of a tree . At the end of the smallest tubes are structures that look like bunches of grapes . The grapes are alveoli ( al VEE uh ly ) singular alveolus ) tiny sacs of lung tissue specialized for the movement of gases between air and blood . Notice in Figure 16 that each is surrounded by a network of capillaries . It is here that the blood picks up its cargo of oxygen from the air . Reading How is food prevented from entering the trachea ?

Gas Exchange Because the walls of both the alveoli and the capillaries are very thin , certain materials can pass through them easily . After air enters an alveolus , oxygen passes through the wall of the alveolus and then through the capillary wall into the blood . Carbon dioxide and water pass from the blood into the alveoli . This whole process is known as gas exchange . How Gas Occurs Gas exchange occurs as the circulatory and respiratory systems work together . Pulmonary means , having to do with the Pulmonary circulation carries blood from the heart to the lungs and back . On the way to the lungs , blood has little oxygen . But it has a lot of carbon dioxide . In the capillaries around the alveoli , oxygen attaches to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells . At the same time , bon dioxide moves from the blood and into the alveoli . As a result of pulmonary circulation , the blood that returns to the heart is rich in oxygen and poor in carbon dioxide . FIGURE 16 Alveolus Gas Exchange in the Alveoli During gas exchange , oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood and carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli . Interpreting Diagrams How is the structure of the alveoli important for gas exchange ?

Surface Area surface area refers to the total area of all of the faces of a object . Consider a cube , which has six equal sides . Each side measures an by . To find the surface area of the cube , calculate the area of one of the six sides Area length width Each side has an area of . Next , add the areas of the six sides together to find the total surface area 24 The surface area of the cube is 24 . Practice Problem Calculate the surface area of a cube whose side measures . 576 Surface Area for Gas Exchange Your lungs can absorb a large amount of oxygen because of the large surface area of the alveoli . An adult lungs contain about 300 million . If you opened the alveoli and spread them out on a surface , you would have a surface area of about 70 square meters . The huge surface area of the alveoli enables the lungs to absorb a large amount of oxygen . The lungs can , therefore , ply the oxygen that people when they are ing strenuous activities . When you play a wind instrument or a game of basketball , you have your alveoli to thank . Your lungs are not the only organs that provide a large face area in a relatively small space . The small intestine of your digestive system contains specialized structures that increase the surface available to absorb food molecules . i What gases are exchanged across the How You Breathe In an average day , you may breathe more than times . The rate at which you breathe depends on your body need for oxygen . The more oxygen you need , the faster you breathe . Muscles for Breathing Breathing , like other body ments , is controlled by muscles . Figure 18 shows the structure of the chest , including the muscles that enable you to breathe . Notice that the lungs are surrounded by the ribs , which have muscles attached to them . At the base of the lungs is the diaphragm ( DY uh fram ) a large , muscle that plays an important role in breathing .

The Process of Breathing you breathe , the actions of your rib muscles and diaphragm cause your chest to expand or contract . As a result , air in or out . what happens when you inhale , or breathe in . The rib muscles contract , lifting the chest wall upward and ward . At the same time , the diaphragm contracts and moves downward . The combined action of these muscles makes the chest cavity larger . The same amount of air now occupies a larger space , causing the pressure of the air inside your lungs to decrease . This change means that the pressure of air inside the chest cavity is lower than the pressure of the atmosphere ing on the body . Because of this difference in air pressure . air rushes into your chest . in the same Way that air is Sucked into a vacuum cleaner . When you exhale , or breathe out , the rib muscles and relax . This reduces the size of the chest cavity . This decrease in size squeezes air out of the lungs , the way squeezing a container of ketchup pushes ketchup out of the opening . Reading What muscles cause the chest to expand ) during breathing ?

Inhalation The volume of the lungs increases , and air flows in . out . The diaphragm contracts and . Exhalation The volume of the lungs decreases , and air is pushed The rib cage returns to its original position . 18 The Breathing Process when you inhale , the diaphragm moves downward and pressure in the lungs decreases , causing air to flow in . When you exhale , the diaphragm moves upward and the pressure in the lungs increases , pushing the air out . Interpreting Diagrams How does the movement of the diaphragm affect the size of the chest cavity ?

I Go For The Breathing Process activity Visit Web Code The diaphragm relaxes and moves upward .

Relating Breathing and Speaking The air that moves out of your lungs as you breathe also helps you speak . The larynx ( LAR ) or voice box , is located in the top part of the trachea , underneath the epiglottis . Place your on your Adam apple , which sticks out from the front of your neck . You can feel some of the cartilage that makes up the larynx . Two vocal cords , folds of connective tissue that produce your voice , stretch across the opening of the larynx . If you ve ever let air out of a balloon while stretching its neck , you ve heard the squeaking sound that the air makes . The neck of the balloon is something like your vocal cords . If you look at Figure 19 you can see that the vocal cords have a like opening between them . When you speak , make the vocal cords contract , narrowing the overthe vocal opening .

Healthy , unblocked artery Partially blocked Merv Cardiovascular Diseases Cardiovascular health is important for all people , not just for athletes . Cardiovascular disease ranks as the leading cause of death in the United States today . Diseases of the cardiovascular system include atherosclerosis and hypertension . Atherosclerosis Compare the photos of the two arteries in Figure 21 . The healthy artery has a large space in the center through which blood can flow easily . The artery on the right , in contrast , has a much smaller space . This artery exhibits atherosclerosis ( ath uh roh ROH sis ) a condition in which an artery wall thickens as a result of the buildup of fatty materials . One of these fatty materials is cholesterol , a waxy substance . Atherosclerosis results in a reduced of blood in the affected artery . Atherosclerosis can develop in the coronary arteries , which supply blood to the heart muscle . The muscle cells then receive less blood and , therefore . less oxygen . This condition may lead to a heart attack . A heart attack occurs when blood to part of the heart muscle is blocked . Cells die where the muscle does not receive sufficient blood and oxygen . This permanently damages the heart and may cause death . If a person who suffers a heart attack lives , the heart may remain badly weakened . The heart ventricles may no longer contract mally , and the heart fails to pump enough blood to the body . Treatment for atherosclerosis usually includes a diet , a moderate exercise program , and medications . Some people may need surgery to unclog blocked arteries . How Is cholesterol related to atherosclerosis ?

FIGURE 21 Effect of Atherosclerosis The artery on the right shows atherosclerosis . which is caused by deposits of fat on the artery walls . Relating Cause and Effect What kind of diet can lead to atherosclerosis ?

Then , discard the water . Use a plastic knife to spread a small amount of paste along the bottom of the neck . Then , with a toothpick , carve out a hole in the paste so that the funnel is partly , but not completely , clogged . Repeat Steps and . Predicting If the funnels were arteries , which or do a better job of supplying blood to tissues ?

Stroke Sometimes atherosclerosis and hypertension may lead to a stroke . A stroke is the death of brain tissue that can result when a blood vessel in the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts . For example , sometimes blood clots form in vessels that are affected by atherosclerosis . A clot that breaks free may travel to a blood vessel in the brain , blocking the of blood . Such a blockage prevents needed gas exchange between the blood and brain cells , which can result in paralysis or brain damage . Sometimes a blood vessel in the brain can become weakened . If so , hypertension can cause the vessel to burst . the brain with blood and damaging ' 1957 First Heart Transplant Barnard , a south African surgeon , performed the first transplant of a human heart .

FIGURE 22 Staying Healthy by Not Smoking People stay healthy by exercising and by choosing not to smoke . FIGURE 23 Lung of a nonsmoker Deadly chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage body systems or interfere with their function . Chemicals in Tobacco Smoke Nicotine A dark , sticky substance that coats cilia making them clump together A colorless , odorless gas that binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells taking . the place of oxygen An addictive drug i that increases heart rate and blood pressure Health Problems and Smoking You may know that smoking tobacco is unhealthy . With each puff , a smoker inhales more than chemicals . Three of the most deadly chemicals in tobacco smoke are listed in Figure 23 . They are tar , carbon monoxide , and nicotine . Tobacco smoke causes health problems in several ways . For example , cilia can sweep away mucus . Thus , many smokers have a frequent cough . The mucus buildup also limits space for . As a result , oxygen intake decreases . Lack of oxygen may also cause or smokers to be short of breath during even light exercise . Tobacco smoke damages the respiratory system and strains the circulatory system , resulting in such diseases as emphysema , cancer , and chronic bronchitis . The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to get oxygen to body cells . A failure of any part of either system means other parts of both systems must work harder . Serious health problems can result from smoking . Every year in the United States , more than people die from illnesses . That one out of every deaths . Tobacco smoke is the most important preventable cause of major illness and death . You read earlier about atherosclerosis . This thickening of an artery wall from the buildup of fatty materials can lead to a heart attack . The chemicals from tobacco smoke cause added harm . Some of these chemicals get into the blood and are absorbed by the blood vessels . The chemicals irritate the walls of the vessels . This irritation contributes to the buildup of fatty material on the vessel walls . Compared to nonsmokers . smokers are more than twice as likely to have heart attacks .

Emphysema The chemicals in tobacco smoke damage lung tissue as well as breathing passages . Emphysema ( em SEE muh ) is a serious disease that destroys lung tissue and causes breathing difficulties . About 90 percent of the people who suffer from emphysema are smokers . People with emphysema do not get enough oxygen and can not adequately eliminate carbon dioxide . Therefore , they are always short of breath . Some people with emphysema even have trouble blowing out a match . Unfortunately , the damage caused by emphysema is permanent , even if a person stops smoking . Lung Cancer About Americans die each year from lung cancer caused by smoking . lung cancer is much less common . Cigarette smoke contains more than 50 different chemicals that cause cancer . Cancerous growths , or tumors . take away space in the lungs that are used for gas exchange . Unfortunately , lung cancer is rarely detected early , when treatment would be most effective . Chronic Bronchitis Bronchitis ( KY tis ) is an tion of the breathing passages in which the small passages become narrower than normal and may be clogged with mucus . People with bronchitis have difficulty breathing . the irritation continues over a long time , it is called chronic bronchitis . Chronic bronchitis can cause permanent damage to the ing passages .

Like diseases , other diseases can affect the function of the circulatory tem . For example , a pulmonary infection may reduce the amount of oxygen that can be absorbed in the lungs . The heart must pump blood harder and faster . Breathing may become harder . too . Asthma More than 20 million Americans er from a condition called asthma . Asthma ( AZ muh ) is a disorder in which the airways in the lungs narrow . This narrowing causes wheezing , coughing , and shortness of breath . Figure 25 compares the airways in a healthy person with the airways in a person who has asthma . During an asthma attack . the muscles around the airways tighten , making the airways narrower . At the same time , the inner walls of the airways become . That is , they become irritated , red , swollen , and warm . They also secrete mucus . The mucus clogs the ways and makes breathing even more . Asthma attacks may be triggered by many factors . These include tobacco smoke , air pollution , strong odors , heavy cise , and respiratory infections . Other triggers are allergies to pollen , mold , dust and pets . People with asthma require to open affected airways and reduce . Someone having a severe asthma attack may need emergency care to prevent suffocation . occurs when there is gas exchange in the lungs .

In addition , blood contains cells that disease . The heart pushes blood through the cardiovascular system . The two sides of the heart are separated by the septum . Each side has an upper chamber and a lower chamber . Blood circulates in two loops . First , it travels from the heart to the lungs and then back to the heart . Second , it is pumped from the heart to the body and then it returns to the heart . Blood leaves the heart through arteries . Materials are exchanged between the blood and the body cells in the capillaries . Veins carry blood back to the heart . Key Terms cardiovascular system heart atrium pacemaker ventricle valve artery capillary vein aorta coronary artery pulse diffusion pressure blood pressure Blood and Lymph Key Concepts . Blood is made up of four components plasma , red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets . Marker molecules on red blood cells determine blood type and the type of blood that you can safely receive in transfusions . The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that returns the to the bloodstream . Key Terms plasma red blood cell hemoglobin white blood cell platelet shock lymphatic system lymph lymph node 5900 Tho circulatory and respiratory systems move blood through the body and enable the exchange of gases . The Respiratory System ( Key Concepts , The respiratory system moves oxygen from the outside environment into the body . It also removes carbon dioxide and water . As air travels from the outside environment to the lungs , it passes through the following structures nose , pharynx , trachea , and bronchi . Oxygen passes through the walls of the alveoli and then through the capillary walls into the blood . Carbon dioxide and water pass from the blood into the alveoli . When you breathe . the actions of your rib muscles and diaphragm cause your chest to expand or contract . Thus , air in or out . Key Terms respiration I mucus pharynx trachea bronchi lungs I diaphragm larynx vocal cords Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases Key Concepts Diseases of the cardiovascular system include atherosclerosis and hypertension . Tobacco smoke damages the respiratory system , resulting in such diseases as emphysema , cancer , and chronic bronchitis . Diseases such as asthma , colds , and pneumonia are caused by infections or other physical conditions . Key Terms I atherosclerosis heart attack I hypertension stroke emphysema bronchitis asthma suffocation pneumonia
