100

Main artery of the body that  supplies oxygenated blood to the entire body. This is the largest blood vessel in human body.

Aorta

100

lower chamber of the heart that pumps blood out to the lungs so that it can pick up oxygen

Right Ventricle

100

containing protein and iron (element)  that binds to oxygen molecules and makes up most of a red blood cell

Hemoglobin

100

DNA to proteins:

DNA and transcribed to RNA and RNA translates to amino acids then the amino acids fold and you get protein

100

Pulmonary vein

transport oxygenated blood from the lung alveoli into the left atria

200

Vein

These vessels carry blood back toward the heart

200

Control blood flow from the atriums to the ventricles. It is a small passageway that is found between Bicuspid (2 parts) valve is on the left side, and the tricuspid.

Valve

200

Lymph system

A network of  vessels that collects fluid from body and return to bloodstream if needed

200

How does Asthma interrupt homeostasis?

Asthma interrupts homeostasis because the body reacts to its stimulus in an extreme way, which starts a process that leads to coughing or shortness of breath which interrupts homeostasis.

200

blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood from the right side of your heart to your lungs.

Pulmonary artery

300

A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells.

Capillaries

300

Red Blood Cell

Carries Oxygen and removing Carbon Dioxide from the body

300

The colorless liquid part of blood

Plasma

300

Superior Vena Cava

carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest to the heart

300

Aortic valve

one of four heart valves and is the final one encountered by oxygenated blood as it leaves the heart

400

These blood vessels carry blood away from the heart toward body parts or toward the lungs

Arteries

400

Fights germs

white blood cells

400

Asthma

The body reacts to a stimulus in an extreme way, which starts a process that leads to symptoms like coughing and shortness of breath.

400

a large vein that carries blood from the lower body to heart

Inferior Vena Cava

400

an aortic valve that contains only two cusps (or flaps) instead of three

Bicuspid valve

500

Left Ventricle

lower chamber of the heart that pumps blood out to body parts so that oxygen can be delivered

500

Tiny blood cells that help you body form blood clots to stop bleeding.

Platelets

500

Heart blue vs left

The left side of the heart receives blood that is not rich in oxygen but the right side receives blood that is rich in oxygen.

500

Tricuspid valve

opens and closes to ensure that blood flows in the correct direction
