What are the alveoli?
200
The tube-like passageway used by food, liquid and air.
What is the pharynx?
200
The portion of the ruminant stomach that serves as a fermentation vat.
What is the rumen?
200
The portion of the monogastric system that is found between the small intestine and large intestine, is enlarged in modified monogastrics, and is used most effectively in horses and rabbits.
What is the cecum?
200
These tubes typically carry deoxygenated blood into the heart.
What are veins?

This muscle allows the body to inhale and exhale and separates the chest cavity from the abdominal region.
What is the diaphragm?
300
The two short tubes that branch off the lower end of the trachea.
What are the bronchi?

What are the three types of digestion?
300
The three primary valves of the heart.
What are the bicuspid valve, the triscupid valve, and the pulmonary valve?

What is cellulose and lignin?
500
The process of seizing or grabbing or otherwise getting food into the mouth.
What is prehension?
500
Oxygenated blood exits the heart on its way to the body through this part of the heart.
What is the aorta?
500
This process requires glucose from the digestive system and oxygen from the respiratory system.
