FEMALE RAT DISSECTION NIGEL CARDOZO 11B BIOLOGY CIRCULATORY SYSTEM The blood returns from the lower body through the inferior vena cava and the blood returns through the upper body from the right and left superior vena cava. Then the blood passes to the right atrium then the right ventricle. The blood is then pumped to the right and left lung from the pulmonary artery. In the lungs oxygen is added to the blood. The oxygen rich blood returns through the left atrium from the pulmonary vein. The blood then goes to the left ventricle and from there the blood is pumped to the whole body from the biggest artery aorta and the cycle keeps on going on. The circulatory system is important for survival because if the heart doesn’t function properly then some of the body parts will not receive the oxygen rich blood. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM The function of the respiratory system is the supply the blood with oxygen to deliver oxygen to all parts of the body. Respiration is done through the mouth, nose, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm. When breathing in, the oxygen and carbon dioxide goes into the lungs and the gas exchange happens in the lungs. The lungs change the carbon dioxide to pure oxygen. The waste carbon dioxide is given out when breathing out. The diaphragms main job is the pull the carbon dioxide out of the lungs and pull the oxygen into the lungs. When the diaphragms contracts, oxygen is pulled into the lungs and when it relaxes the carbon dioxide is pulled out of the lungs. The respiratory system is important for survival because if the lungs fail to change the carbon dioxide to oxygen, then the body will get more blood with carbon dioxide than oxygen. REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM The function of the reproductive system is to produce eggs, to produce hormones and to take care of the developing embryo. The follicles are formed in the ovary. Inside the follicle are the eggs. The egg is formed by the process called meiosis. There is one egg and three polar bodies. The three pola
