Question
Answer
alveleoli   tiny saclike structures in the lungs at which gas exchange takes place  
🗑
arteries   a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart  
🗑
atrium   the thin-walled, upper chambers that receive blood into the heart  
🗑
bronchi   two tubes that branch off from the trachea and enter the lungs  
🗑
bronchioles   several small tubes that branch off from the bronchi and lead into the alveoli of the respiratory system  
🗑
capillary   the smallest blood vessel in a closed circulatory system; where materials are exchanged with surrounding tissues  
🗑
cilia   small, hairlike structures on the surface of cells that aid life processes  
🗑
circulation   the movement of blood through the blood vessels of an animal  
🗑
closed circulatory system   a transport system in which the blood does not leave the blood vessels  
🗑
diastolic pressure   the pressure of the blood between heart contractions, at its lowest point  
🗑
exhalation   the movement of air out of the respiratory system  
🗑
gills   the respiratory organs of waterbreathing vertebrates  
🗑
inhalation   the movement of air into the respiratory system  
🗑
nasal cavity   the start of the respiratory system at which the air is filtered, odors are detected, and humidity and temperature are adjusted for respiration  
🗑
open circulatory system   system in which blood circulates around the organs  
🗑
phloem   tubes that carry carbohydrates from the leaves to the rest of a plant  
🗑
plasma   the liquid portion of blood; contains water and dissolved substances

🗑
pulmonary   pertaining to structure and/or function of the lungs  
🗑
respiratory surface   the moist area of an animal at which gas exchange occurs  
🗑
root hairs   an extension of the cells that line roots, which increases the surface area for absorption  
🗑
systemic   pertaining to the whole body of an organism  
🗑
systolic pressure   the pressure of the blood when the heart is contracting, at its highest point  
🗑
trachea   the air tube that connects the pharynx to the bronchi; the windpipe  
🗑
tracheae   in insects, air tubes that connect the inside to outside for gas exchange  
🗑
transpiration   in plants, the loss of water vapor from the stomates of a leaf  
🗑
veins   a blood vessel that carries blood toward the heart  
🗑
ventricle   the thick-walled, lower chambers that push blood out of the heart  
🗑
xylem   tubes that carry water and nutrients from the roots up through a plant  
🗑
