What is the role of our respiratory system?

• to break down the food we eat into the molecules our body needs

• to transport the molecules our body cells need

• to store the excess glucose for energy use later

• to bring in oxygen and release carbon dioxide

What is the role of our digestive system?

• to break down the food we eat into the molecules our body needs

• to transport the molecules our body cells need

• to store the excess glucose for energy use later

• to bring in oxygen and release carbon dioxide

What is the role of our circulatory system?

• to break down the food we eat into the molecules our body needs

• to transport the molecules our body cells need

• to store the excess glucose for energy use later

• to bring in oxygen and release carbon dioxide

How does anemia affect the human body?

•  less oxygen gets into the circulatory system and the cells

• less glucose gets into the cells

• less oxygen gets into the respiratory system, the circulatory system, and the cells

•  less glucose gets into the circulatory system and the cells

Answer explanation

With anemia, less oxygen gets into the circulatory system and the cells. While asthma also affects oxygen, in asthma, less oxygen gets into the respiratory system, the circulatory system, and the cells. In anemia, a normal amount of oxygen is brought into the respiratory system, but does not go into the circulatory system.

How does asthma affect the human body?

•  less oxygen gets into the circulatory system and the cells

• less glucose gets into the cells

• less oxygen gets into the respiratory system, the circulatory system, and the cells

•  less glucose gets into the circulatory system and the cells

Answer explanation

How does diabetes affect the human body?

•  less oxygen gets into the circulatory system and the cells

• less glucose gets into the cells

• less oxygen gets into the respiratory system, the circulatory system, and the cells

•  less glucose gets into the circulatory system and the cells

Answer explanation

With diabetes, less glucose gets into the cells. Where as with a pancreas injury, less gucose gets into the circulatory system and the cells. Someone with diabetes has enough glucose going into their circulatory system, but not their cells.
