Bodily Systems

By Chloe Andrews

There are many bodily systems, but for now let's just talk about three. Circulatory, Respiratory, and Digestive. They do many things alone, but also do many things together

Circulatory System

The circulatory system is responsible for the flow of blood. It is made up of your heart, lungs, arteries, veins, coronary, and portal vessels. Oxygen-poor blood begins in the right atrium of your heart and makes its way through the tricuspid valve. After, it is pumped through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery and continues into the lungs. From there, carbon dioxide is let go from the blood and oxygen is absorbed. The oxygen-rich blood is then sent back into the heart where the cycle starts over.

The respiratory system isn't breathing, but is the process of breathing. It functions with the lungs, red blood cells, etc. The process of respiration begins with breathing in, or inhaling. The oxygen collected in the lungs is carried out by red blood cells. The oxygen is taken where needed. The red blood cells then bring back carbon dioxide to the lungs where it is exhaled.

Digestive System

The digestive system is the process of food moving through and leaving the body. It begins in the mouth when you eat and drink. The food moves down the esophagus into the stomach. Then, it enters the small intestine. Larger waste goes through the large intestine. Once traveled through, the waste exits through the anus.

These three systems, although it seems they work separately, they work in harmony. The circulatory system carries the oxygen left in the lungs from the respiratory system through the heart. The oxygen in the food of the digestive system becomes nutrients. In conclusion, the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems all have important roles to play for the health of our bodies.
