Heart Rate
What are the main parts of the human circulatory system, and what are their functions?The main parts of the human circulatory system are: Heart: Pumps blood around the body. Blood vessels: Transport blood; arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood back to the heart, and capillaries exchange nutrients and waste between blood and tissues.Blood: Carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products.
How can diet, exercise, drugs, and lifestyle impact the way our bodies function?Diet: A healthy diet provides essential nutrients and energy, while an unhealthy diet can lead to obesity, heart disease, or diabetes.Exercise: Regular exercise strengthens the heart, improves circulation, and helps maintain a healthy weight.Drugs: Some drugs can harm the body by affecting organ function, while medicines can help treat illnesses.Lifestyle: Habits such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption can damage organs and increase the risk of disease, while good sleep and stress management promote overall health.
How are nutrients transported within the body?Nutrients from digested food are absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. The blood then transports these nutrients to cells throughout the body where they are used for energy, growth, and repair.
How is water transported within the body? Water is absorbed into the bloodstream from the digestive system and distributed to cells and tissues. It is essential for maintaining hydration, transporting nutrients, and removing waste products.
