Document Summary
The human body is made up of trillions of metabolically active cells. These living cells use energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (atp) to power. Atp is produced in the mitochondria by oxidizing nutrients or combining them with their cellular processes oxygen and incorporating the released energy into high energy phosphate bonds of atp. O2 + glucose h2o + energy atp. Refers to the oxygen consuming process that occurs in cells. The uptake of oxygen and its delivery to the body cells relies on the involvement of the respiratory system and the circulatory systems. These systems also play an essential role in ensuring that carbon dioxide is removed from body tissues following cellular respiration. Include passageway to the lungs that purifies, humidifies and warms the incoming air and gas exchange between the blood and the external environment. During breathing, air enters the nose by passing through the nostrils or.
