How Energy & Waste Management Works

1

Energy Intake

The body absorbs energy from food through the digestive system, breaking down nutrients into glucose.

2

Cellular Respiration

Cells convert glucose into ATP energy, producing CO2 and water as waste products.

3

Gas Exchange

The respiratory system exchanges CO2 waste for fresh oxygen in the alveoli.

4

Heat Radiation

Excess energy is released as heat through terrestrial radiation, maintaining homeostasis.

5

Waste Excretion

Kidneys filter metabolic waste, lungs expel CO2, skin releases toxins through sweat.

Key Systems

🫁

Respiratory System

Lungs facilitate gas exchange. Alveoli provide massive surface area for efficient O2/CO2 diffusion.

⚠️

Terrestrial Radiation

The body radiates heat as infrared radiation, essential for temperature regulation.

💧

Excretory System

Kidneys filter waste from blood. Urine carries urea and excess minerals.

ATP Production

Mitochondria convert glucose + O2 into ATP through cellular respiration.
