Any of the tiny air sacs of the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
What are alveoli?
300
Explain atherosclerosis and hypertension.
What is atherosclerosis is when a chemical (cholesterol) builds up in the arteries causing a blockage of blood and hypertension is high blood pressure?
300
The main components of blood are:
What are: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets?

How is the Lymphatic System related to the Circulatory System?
What is the Lymphatic System collects excess fluid and returns it to the Circulatory System?
400
What is asthma? How can it be treated?
What is asthma is when the respiratory system has a reaction to particles, such as dust, pollen or pollution, causing the bronchial tubes to expand. When the bronchial tubes expand the air passageway becomes narrow causing the air not to flow easily. Patients are usually treated with medicine from an inhaler.
400
Pressure inside large arteries when the ventricles contract causing the arteries to bulge. Pressure inside the arteries when the ventricles relax causing the arteries to shrink.
What is Systolic Pressure? What is Diastolic Pressure?
500
Describe the flow of blood in the heart.
What is: oxygen-rich blood (from the lungs) enters the left atrium and oxygen-poor blood (from the body) enters the right atrium. When the atria contract, blood is forced into the right and left ventricles where the blood is either pushed out of the heart into the lungs or into the body.
500
What do red blood cells do?
What is red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of the body?
500
Name the six parts of the Lymphatic System.
What are the spleen, tonsils, thymus gland, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and bone marrow?
500
Explain how breathing happens.
What is oxygen is sucked into or forced into your lungs by the diaphragm and rib muscles. Oxygen is absorbed by the alveoli where it moves throughout the Circulatory System. Carbon Dioxide is also released into the lungs where it is exhaled.
