veins   Large blood vessels that carry blood IN toward the heart.

arteries   Large blood vessels that carry blood Away from the heart.  
🗑
capillaries   Microscopic blood vessels with walls that are just one cell thick. They connect arteries and veins. Nutrients & oxygen diffuse in & out of the blood through the walls of these.  
🗑
diffusion   When molecules pass through a membrane, like into or out of a cell.  
🗑
lungs   2 organs in the chest that inhale (breath in) oxygen and exhale (breath out) carbon dioxide.  
🗑
cellular wastes   Substances that cells no longer need, such as carbon dioxide, excess salt, urea, excess water, etc. Transported by the blood to be removed from the body.  
🗑
hormones   Chemical messages transported in the blood. Produced in special organs called glands.  
🗑
hemoglobin   Chemical in red blood cells that holds on to oxygen, to transport it.  
🗑
plasma   The liquid part of blood (mostly made up of water) that carries everything else in blood.  
🗑
red blood cells   Cells in blood that carry oxygen, with the help of hemoglobin.  
🗑
white blood cells   Cells in blood that fight disease by destroying and 'eating' bacteria, viruses, etc.  
🗑
platelets   Irregularly shaped blood cells that help blood to clot where there is a cut or injury. They stick together and dry up to form a scab.  
🗑
small intestine   Organ where all nutrients enter the blood, by diffusion into capillaries.  
🗑
villi   Microscopic finger-like structures in the small intestine, they contain capillaries for absorbing nutrients into the blood by diffusion.  
🗑

🗑
organs   Special structures in a body made up of tissues. Each has a specific job or jobs.  
🗑
atom   The smallest unit of matter.  
🗑
molecule   It is made of 2 or more atoms held together by bonds, like O2 or H2O  
🗑
element   Substance made of only one type of atom, like C or Mg or O2  
🗑
compound   Substance made of 2 (or more) different types of atoms like H2O or C6H12O6  
🗑
bonds   The attractions (forces) that hold atoms together to make molecules. They contain energy!  
🗑
reactants   The “ingredients” necessary for a chemical reaction. They “react” to form the products.  
🗑
products   What is created or produced after a chemical reaction.
