Term
Definition
heart   a 4 chambered, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body  
🗑
pulmonary artery   the artery carrying de-oxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation  
🗑
pulmonary veins   return the freshly oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart  
🗑
Aorta   carries blood from the heart to to the body  
🗑
Arteries   Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart  
🗑
Veins   Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart  
🗑
oxygenated blood   blood rich in oxygen  
🗑
deoxygenated blood   blood that is oxygen-poor and high in carbon dioxide  
🗑
Xylem   vascular tissue that carries water upward from the roots to every part of a plant  
🗑
Phloem   Living vascular tissue that carries sugar and organic substances throughout a plant  
🗑
Transpiration   Evaporation of water from the leaves of a plant from the roots  
🗑
Translocation   the movement of glucose around a plant in the phloem in both directions  
🗑
Stomata   small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move  
🗑
guard cells   The two cells that flank the stomatal pore and regulate the opening and closing of the pore  
🗑
roots   Absorbs water and minerals from the ground. Anchors plant in ground.  
🗑
stem   supporting structure that connects roots and leaves and carries water and nutrients between them  
🗑
Haemoglobin   The protein that carries oxygen in the red blood cells  
🗑
Osmosis   Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane  
🗑
Diffusion   Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration  
🗑
transpiration pull   when water evaporates from the leaves of a plant, water is pulled up to replace what was lost  
🗑
vascular tissue   specialized tissue in plants that carries water and nutrients  
🗑
tricuspid valve   valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle  
🗑
Valves   Flaps of tissue that open and close to allow the flow of blood in one direction  
🗑
capillary   A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells  
🗑
lymphatic system   Composed of a network of vessels, ducts, nodes, and organs. Provides defence against infection  
🗑
red blood cells   Blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells  
🗑
white blood cells   fight infection  
🗑
Platelets   cell fragments that cause clotting and produce growth factors involved in tissue repair  
🗑
Hemoglobin   a protein containing iron, found in red blood cells, which carries oxygen  
🗑
bone marrow   a soft tissue inside the bone that produces blood cells  
🗑
heart rate   A measure of cardiac activity usually expressed as the number of beats per minute.  
🗑
open circulatory system   A circulatory system that allows the blood to flow out of the blood vessels and into various body cavities so that the cells are in direct contact with the blood  
🗑
closed circulatory system   system in which blood is contained within a network of blood vessels  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
