Functions of the Respiratory System

Major functions of the Respiratory System are:

• ​

​

​

What makes it possible for us to breathe?

Some things that MUST occur for us to breathe successfully are:

• ​

Where does gas exchange occur in the body?

Deoxygenated blood enters the lungs and goes into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli and then…(describe what occurs here)

​

​

​

​

​

​

Then, oxygenated blood leaves through veins to go back to the heart.

​

Structure and Function of Blood

List the four components of blood and the function of each:

Use of blood after a donation at a blood drive.

List how each component can be used after they are donated.

Platelets

Plasma

RBC

WBC

Blood Typing

Know what blood type can safely be transfused to another person.

Be sure to explain the consider the antibodies in the receivers blood and the Rh factor

Example:

Can B- donate to a AB+ receiver?

Can AB- donate to a B - receiver?

​

Blood Genetics

Understand the genetics of blood. If given two parental blood types being able to find the percentages of their offspring with the use of Punnett Squares.

Example:

1. A Pure A Blooded male produces an offspring with a hybrid A female. What are the phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring?

AA x Ao

Phenotype 100% A blood,

Genotype 50% pure A 50% hybrid A

2. A male with type O blood reproduces with a AB female. What are the phenotypes and genotypes of their offspring? oo x AB Pheno 50% A 50% B Genotype 50% hybrid A 50% hybrid B
