Veins
Which type of blood cells carry oxygen and other nutrients to the cells and CO2 away from the cells.
Red Blood Cells
The tubes that branch off from the Trachea that carries air into the lungs

What connects the upper and lower respiratory tract?
Trachea
This is the part of the nervous system than includes the nerves that extend from the spinal cord out to all the parts of the body.
Peripheral Nervous Systm
The largest part of the brain that controls voluntary movements.

Systemic Circulation
Which type of blood cells help blood clot to stop bleeding?
Platelets
Sacks located at the end of the bronchioles that exchange gases with the capillaries
Alveoli

Afferent or sensory neurons
The part of the nervous system made up of the brain and the spinal cord
Central Nervous System
Which type of circulation carries blood from the heart to the lungs and back?
Pulmonary Circulation
Which type of vessels are responsible for working with the Alvioli to exchange Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide between the red blood cells?
Capillaries
The muscle at the bottom of the lungs that contracts to draw air in and relaxes to push air out.
