Circulatory System
The _______  (also called the cardiovascular system) is formed by all the structures that move blood through the body (Figure 2.8). The _______  consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart pumps the blood that the _______  transport to every cell in the human body. Functions of the circulatory system include the following:
transporting _______  and other nutrients to cells in the body
removing _______  and other waste products
regulating body _______ 
assisting with _______  function
Caring for the circulatory system through healthy eating and physical activity supports these functions. In the next sections, you will learn more about the heart and how blood circulates in the heart. You will also learn more about blood vessels and blood.

Required

Heart
The _______  is a hollow, _______  located in the center of the chest. The heart is a steadily working muscle. It beats around _______  times per year and pumps about _______  of blood each day.The heart contains four hollow spaces called _______ . The top two chambers are called atria. The bottom two chambers are called _______ . Valves control the _______  of blood flow in the heart. Like doors that open only one way, the valves make sure blood flows in the right direction. For example, one _______  makes sure that blood flows from an atrium to a ventricle. It will not let blood flow from a ventricle to an _______ . Other valves make sure that blood leaving a ventricle does not flow backward into the ventricle.

The _______  you feel and hear is caused by the contraction of the heart chambers and closing of valves. The first heart sound is the atria squeezing blood into the ventricles. The second sound is the _______  pumping blood out of the heart.

Required

Blood Circulation
Blood _______  follows a path that provides the body with a continual supply of _______  blood. You can trace this path in Figure 2.9.

Oxygen-poor blood flows from around the body into the _______ , which passes this blood into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps oxygen-poor blood out of the heart to the lungs, where this blood obtains _______ .

Then oxygen-rich blood is returned from the _______  into the left atrium of the heart, which passes blood into the left ventricle. Finally, the _______  pumps oxygen-rich blood into the aorta. The oxygen-rich blood is then pumped around the body. After oxygen is used up, the oxygen-rich blood becomes _______  blood and flows back into the right atrium. The process then begins again.

Required

Blood Vessels
_______  are an extensive network of pipes that carry blood throughout the entire body (Figure 2.10). There are three types of blood vessels. These vessels are the _______ , _______ , and _______ .

_______  carry oxygen-rich blood. The largest artery is the _______ , which carries blood from the left ventricle of the heart to other _______ . Most arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. These arteries have muscular walls that can handle the pressure created by the heart’s pumping. Arteries branch into smaller _______ , and these branch into even smaller ones.

The smallest arteries are the capillaries. _______  have very thin walls with no muscle. They deliver oxygen and nutrients to body cells and pick up cells’ waste. Capillaries lead into tiny veins, which lead into larger veins.

_______  carry oxygen-poor blood. Two large veins, called the vena cavae, carry blood into the right atrium of the heart. One vena cava brings blood from the head and upper body. The other brings blood from the lower body.

Required

Blood

_______  plays an important role in maintaining a person’s _______  and sustaining life. As you already learned, blood carries oxygen and nutrients through the body, while also removing carbon dioxide and waste. _______  a person’s body temperature, similar to how a _______  regulates the temperature in a room. Blood also protects the body against infection.

Because of blood’s vital role in the _______ , many people donate blood to organizations such as the American Red Cross. In fact, one pint of donated blood can save up to three lives. For this reason, people who donate blood are actually giving the gift of life.

Blood is made up of both _______  parts (Figure 2.11). The liquid part of blood is called plasma. Plasma makes up at least half of blood's content. It is responsible for carrying all parts of blood throughout the body.The solid parts of blood consist of _______  blood cells, _______  blood cells, and platelets.

Red blood cells make up one-half the blood’s volume. Red blood cells contain a red substance called hemoglobin, which can carry and _______ . As a result, red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body.

_______  cells move through the blood and live in various organs of the body. They help defend the body against infections.

Platelets are responsible for blood clotting. _______  stops blood from flowing outside the wall of a blood vessel. This action helps prevent blood loss when blood vessels are injured.

Required

Respiratory System
The _______  cannot deliver oxygen to the body’s cells without the help of the respiratory system. The respiratory system includes _______  that obtain vitally important oxygen from the outside world (Figure 2.12). This body system draws oxygen into the _______  and delivers it to blood vessels. It also takes _______ —another gas—out of the blood and sends it outside the body. Since the body’s cells require oxygen, a healthy respiratory system enables all other body functions. Respiratory organs can be divided into the _______  respiratory systems.

Required

Upper Respiratory System
The _______  system allows air containing oxygen to enter the body. Air enters the nose and mouth and passes down through the throat to the _______  and then through the trachea to the lungs. You can feel the _______  as a bump in the front of your throat. It vibrates when you speak, as air passes across the _______ . A small structure covers the larynx when you swallow and prevents food from entering the _______ .

The walls of the _______  make a sticky substance called mucus. This mucus traps bacteria and dust particles so they cannot enter the lungs. Extra _______  is made when someone has an infection or an allergic reaction. The passage behind the nose is also lined with mucus and with _______  that warm and moisten air. You see evidence of this on cold days when you exhale. The warm, exhaled air forms water vapor as it contacts the cold outside air.

Required

Lower Respiratory System
The _______  branches into two bronchi, which are air passages that lead to each lung. The bronchi branch into smaller passages called _______  inside the lungs. These smaller airways end as sacks called _______ . When you inhale, air fills the alveoli. The alveoli are important for oxygen exchange in the lungs. If they fill with fluid, as in _______ , air and oxygen cannot enter them. This can disrupt the vital process of _______ .

Required

Respiration
_______  is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the respiratory system. It includes two steps: _______ . When you inhale, you take in air, which reaches the lungs. Air fills the alveoli, and oxygen moves into the blood in tiny _______ . These capillaries then deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart.

At the same time, _______ moves from the blood into the _______ . This air travels back into the respiratory passages. When you exhale, you push the air with carbon dioxide out of the body (Figure 2.13).
_______  help the lungs take in and push out air. During _______ , muscles enlarge the chest. This draws air in through the mouth and nose. The chief muscle doing this work is the diaphragm. The _______  is a sheet of muscle beneath the lungs and above the _______ . As the diaphragm moves down, the chest expands. Other muscles of the chest, especially those between the ribs, also help the chest expand. _______  happens when these muscles relax. The chest collapses and squeezes air out the mouth and nose.
