Identify the function of the labeled structures.
Sample Response: The two gases involved in gas exchange are oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen from the air is absorbed by the blood, and carbon dioxide is released. This gas exchange occurs in the alveoli. What did you include in your response?

The flu is an infection caused by a pathogen. When a pathogen enters the body, which blood component helps us to attack the pathogen?
Which component of blood transports oxygen?
What is the pathway of air into the body?
Which structure is directly involved in gas exchange?
Identify the two gases exchanged between the body and the air during respiration. Explain how this gas exchange happens.
The two gases exchanged during respiration are oxygen and carbon dioxide. This gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen from the inhaled air is absorbed into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the blood is released into the alveoli to be exhaled from the body.
How do the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to make gas exchange possible?
The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to deliver oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide. The respiratory system takes in oxygen-rich air into the alveoli of the lungs. The circulatory system then transports this oxygen from the lungs to the body's cells through the blood. Simultaneously, the circulatory system collects carbon dioxide waste from the cells and carries it back to the lungs, where the respiratory system exhales it from the body.
Sample Response: The two systems work together in several ways. First, the respiratory system brings oxygen in the air to the alveoli in the lungs. The circulatory system then delivers the oxygen to the cells. Second, the circulatory system picks up carbon dioxide from the cells and carries it to the lungs, where it is released when we exhale.
