100
This organ absorbs water at the end of the digestive process
What is the large intestine?
100
This organ chemically digests food with gastric juices
What is the stomach?
200
The small intestine uses this structural adaptation to increase nutrient absorption.
What are villi and microvilli?
200
The superior vena cava joins the inferior vena cava to bring deoxygenated blood to this chamber of the heart
What is the right atrium?
200
The trachea divides into these before it reaches the lungs
What are the bronchi?
200
These structure prevents oxygenated from mixing with deoxygenated blood in the different chambers
What is the septum?
200
This smallest structure of the circulatory system is where oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion takes place
What are the capillaries?
300

This enzyme helps in the breakdown of starch in saliva

What is amylase?

300
Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and this other component.
What are platelets/thrombocytes?
300
These tiny sacs are connected to capillaries to facilitate oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion
What are the alveoli?
300

The liquid produced once bolus of food is mixed with acid and enzymes of the stomach

What is chyme?

300

This flap of tissue prevents food from entering the trachea

What is the epiglottis?

400
This muscular valve is found near the heart and prevents acid reflux
What is the cardiac sphincter?
400

This valve is found between the left atrium and left ventricle

What is the mitral valve?

400

The trachea also referred to as the 

What is windpipe?

400

If this structure does not function properly, gastric juices and chyme may cause ulcers within the duodenum

What is the pyloric sphincter?

400
This chamber of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary system
What is the right ventricle?
500

What is insulin?

500

What artery may become blocked, and could possibly lead to a heart attack?

What is the coronary artery?

500
During excess exercise, these muscles aid in respiration by increasing and decreasing the thoracic cavity
What are the intercostal muscles?
500

Name three substances found in gastric juices

What is water, mucus, pepsin, and hydrochloric acid?

500

The three structures of the circulatory, respiratory and digestive system that increase surface area for diffusion of nutrients and gases.
