Digestive system function is

To extract nutrients from food and dispose of solide waste and liquid waste

Respiratory system function is?

supply the blood with oxygen , dispose of CO2

Glomerulus

filters small solutes from the blood

proximal convoluted tubule

reabsorbs ions, water and nutrients; removes toxins and adjusts filtrate PH

Descending loop of Henls

aquaporins allow water to pass from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid.

Ascending loop of henls

reabsorbs Na^+and CL^- from the filtrate into the interstitil fluid.

Distal tubules

selectively sceretes and absorbs different ions to maintain blood PH and electrocytes balance

collecting ducts

reabsorbs solutes and water from the filtrates.

gas exchange in Alveoli: Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the air in the alveoli.


carbon-di-oxide which is more in concentration in pulmonary capillary& low in alveolus go to the alveolus from pulmonary capillary blood.

what is the Cartilaginous discs

its a strong and flexible tissue

what is the purpose of the trachea

support and allowing movement and flexing during breathing.

Pleura is

space between the outside of the lungs and inside of the chest wall.

Pleura function is

serves as a cushion for the lungs and screte a fluid thatt allows them to move easily within the chest cavity

Inhalation

taking in air(oxygen) into the lungs

EXhalation

releasing air(CO2) out of the lungs

Ventilation

mechanical action of getting air in and out of the lungs

Respiration

the proces of gas exchange
