Plant and Respiration
This tissue in plants transports water from the roots up to the leaves.
xylem
This long tube connects the mouth and nose to the lungs and is where air passes; its common name is the "windpipe."
Trachea
The two upper chambers of the heart that receive blood are called _____
ATRIA
Which vessel type usually carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body?
arteries
This structure in the respiratory system splits into two bronchi.
trachea
This plant tissue moves sugars (food) from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
phloem
These are two large branches that split from the trachea and carry air into each lung. Name them
BRONCHI
The two lower chambers of the heart that pump blood out are called _____.
VENTRICLES
Which vessel type usually carries oxygen-poor blood back to the heart?
veins
The part of a plant leaf that opens and closes to control gas exchange
stoma
Small openings on the underside of leaves that let gases move in and out are called _____
stoma
The muscular sheet under the lungs that helps with breathing by moving up and down is the
DIAPHRAM
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called _____
ARTERIES
Which chamber receives blood returning from the body?
atrium
Large muscle that contracts and relaxes as we breathe
diaphram
Which two plant parts work together to move water up a plant and food down the plant? (Name both.
xylem and phloem
The throat region that is shared by food and air (it’s above the trachea and esophagus) is the _____
PHARYNX
These tiny blood vessels allow oxygen, carbon dioxide and nutrients to pass between blood and body cells.
capillaries
Which chambers of the heart does the blood exit at?
Ventricles
Two narrow tubes that branch off into our lungs
Bronchi
Explain in one sentence why stoma are important for photosynthesis
Stomata allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf and oxygen to leave, which are needed for photosynthesis and gas exchange.
This is where the gas exchange occurs, inside the tiny grape-like pouches called..
alveoli
Name the three main types of blood vessels in the circulatory system
arteries, veins, capillaries
How many chambers are there?
4
plant tissue made of tubelike cells that transport water and nutrients in plants
vascular tissue
