On the very first page of this tutorial, we talked about the circulatory and respiratory systems being related. Now we're going to combine these into one process. Instead of following oxygen going into the body, we are going to trace the route that carbon dioxide takes on its way out of the body. The carbon dioxide is produced in the cell during cellular respiration. Starting at the organelle where this process takes place, find the route a molecule takes from the cell to the heart. right atrium vena cava 3 | interstitial fluid cytoplasm of cell 5 | right ventricle 6 vein 7 | capillary 8 E mitochondria :::: 4.
