Circ. Vocab.
This muscle is a fist-sized organ that circulates oxygenated blood throughout the body.
What is the heart?
This is also known as the "wind pipe."
What is the trachea?
This allows the oxygenated red blood cells to move to the heart.
What is the pulmonary vein?
This is slower and regular when at rest.
What is a heart rate?
After exercise, this increases along with your heart rate.
What is breathing rate?
These carry the blood throughout the body.
What do blood vessels do?
These are two organs for breathing air; the right is slightly larger.
What are lungs?
As the heart pumps, oxygenated blood is pushed through these to the bodies muscles and tissues.
What are arteries?
These two places are most common for finding your heart rate.
Where are the carotid and radial arteries?
More of this is needed when doing physical activity as it provides energy for the muscle and body tissues.
What is oxygen?
Arteries and veins.
What are the two types of blood vessels?
The tiny air sacs that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What are alveoli?
The body makes use of oxygen and expels this waste as a part of cellular respiration.

What is carbon dioxide?
De-oxygenated blood moves through these back to the heart.
What are veins?
This is found in the neck near the jugular vein.
What is the carotid artery?
This is measured by taking a deep breathe and expelling all of the air within.
What is lung capacity?
These small connecting "roads' run between arteries and veins to convey blood to almost all body tissues.
What are capillaries?
This contracts to draw breath into the lungs.
What is the diaphragm?
The heart pushes the carbon dioxide waste back to the lungs through this.
What is the pulmonary artery?
This is usually taking in 10 sec intervals and multiplied by 6.
What is a heart rate?
This happens because more oxygen is needed by the body tissues and muscles to perform an activity.
What is "the heart rate increases"?
