200

This type of blood vessel has extremely thin walls that are good for absorbing and secreting molecules.

What are capillaries?

200

Bile, which is used in the digestion of lipids, are stored in this accessory organ of the digestive system.

What is the gallbladder?

200

This chamber of the heart pumps oxygen rich blood to the aorta for distribution throughout the body.

What is the left ventricle?

200

Of the two, this process is generally considered to be the passive one.

What is exhalation?
200

This ion is usually more concentrated inside the cell than it is out.

What is potassium (K+)?

300

You would want this division of the autonomic nervous system to activate if you had a triple dipper from Chili's.

What is the parasympathetic nervous system?

300

This term describes the rhythmic, muscular contractions that allow structures like the esophagus to move food throughout the digestive system.

What is peristalsis?

300

Some fishes have only 2 chambers in the heart, which means it has this type of circuit.

What is single circuit circulation?

300

This type of breathing involves creating a low pressure in the lungs to draw air into it, rather than forcing it.

What is negative pressure breathing?

300

The lobe of the brain that contains Wernicke's area, which is important for understanding.

What is the temporal lobe?

400

The opening of the voltage-gated channels of this ion results in the depolarization phase of the action potential.

What is sodium (Na+)?

This type of lung condition results in the reduction of residual volume.

What is restrictive lung disease?

500
