S3E8 The respiratory & circulatory systems

January 29, 2023 • Jason Smith & Greg Ryan • Season 3 • Episode 8

Jason and Greg discuss the respiratory and circulatory systems and how they work together to support the body.

The circulatory system, made up of the heart and blood vessels, brings blood to and from the lungs to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues and organs, while also removing carbon dioxide and waste products. The respiratory system, which includes the lungs, alveoli, and diaphragm, is responsible for breathing and facilitating the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the blood. The autonomic nervous system controls breathing and regulates the cardiovascular system, including heart rate and blood pressure, and prepares the body for physical activity
