Today for PE my task was to complete a slideshow about The Cardio Respiratory System. The Cardio Respiratory System is made up of the heart, lungs and blood vessels that are responsible for circulating oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body.
Here's 2 questions I had to research:
What are the three major cell types that you would find in the blood?
Red Blood Cells
White Blood Cells
Platelets
What is there purpose?
Red blood cells carries oxygen and removes the carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to the lungs for you to exhale. Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow.
White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. These cells help you fight infections by attacking bacteria, viruses and germs that invade the body. White blood cells originate in the bone marrow but circulate throughout the bloodstream.
Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body from clots to stop bleeding. If a blood vessel gets damaged, it sends out signals to the platelets. The platelets rush to the site of damage and they form a clot to fix the damage.
