ORGANELLE
FUNCTION
A:Cell Membrane
It's like the skin covering your body it surrounds and protects what's inside the cell membrane and also controls the movement of the substance inside
B:Cytoplasm
Is the support group of the cell it delivers the oxygen and food to other places it also moves around through the cell.It’s also a Jellylike material
C:Nucleus
The nucleus is the control center of the cell it mages the way it moves how it reproduces and has all of the genetic makeup of the cell


D:Vancoles
The Vancoles are surrounded by a membrane and the propuss of this is to store extra food and waste that the cell can not use at the moment

This system circulates blood around the body, delivering food particles, dissolved gases, and other materials to every cell and carrying away cell wastes. It keeps us alive.
Term
Which structures are included in the circulatory system?
Definition
The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels
Term
Why are capillaries small and thin?
Definition
The function of capillaries is to allow food and oxygen to diffuse to cells while waste is diffused from cells. Capillaries have thin walls - only one cell thick - that allow them to effectively perform their function.
Term
Why does the heart need so many different parts?
Definition
It needs to pump blood all over the body. It has a very important job that needs parts all over our bodies.

The smallest blood vessels are the capillaries.
Term
How are these tiny tubes related to the air sacs?
Definition
The tiny tubes are related to the air sacs because each alveolus is surrounded by a web of capillaries.
Term
What is exchanged from the blood in the capillaries and the air in the air sacs?
Definition

Definition
Flexible arteries that can easily expand let more blood pass which makes the pressure low. Hardening and loss of eleasticity makes the pressure high.
Term
What is the blood pressure in relation to the blood viscosity
Definition
(balance between red blood cells and plasma) : Thick blood flows less easily thsn that of thin blood which makes it high pressure and thin low pressure.
Term
What are two things smoking can do to your circulatory system?
Definition
Nicotine causes blood vessels to narrow which increases heart rate and raises blood pressure. Carbon monoxide that enters the lungs compete with oxygen which reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen to cells.

Definition
The moon is responsible for the different types of ties sproing dies are the largest types of tides this is when the earth moon and sun are all lined up creating s very high tides and very low tides
