can affect the respiratory system. The first effect is‚ eating fast food can lead to obesity which affects the respiratory system by decreasing the volume of the lungs. This lowers the forced expiratory volume in one second. It also lowers the vital capacity. This also lowers functional residual capacity. That is one effect of fast food on the respiratory system. The second effect is‚ that fast food causes causes obesity around the abdomen which worsens lung functions and respiratory symptoms. This

Pulmonary and systemic are the two circuits in the two-circuit system of higher animals with closed circulatory systems. As the heart pumps‚ blood is pushed through our body through the entire circulatory system. Oxygenated blood is pumped away from the heart to the rest of the body‚ while deoxygenated blood is pumped to the lungs where it is re-oxygenated before returning to the heart
