Random

Artery
The greatest volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after taking the deepest possible breath.
Vital Capacity
A vein carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
Pulmonary Vein
What helps blood from clotting?
Platelets
The bottom number, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets oxygen.
Diastolic pressure

Systolic pressure
The force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries.
Blood Pressure
Any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.
Vein

Hemoglobin
A nitrogenous compound containing a carbonyl group attached to two amine groups with osmotic diuretic activity.
Urea
Helps fight viruses and diseases.
White Blood Cell
The lung volume representing the normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation.
Tidal Volume
The amount of air that remains in a person's lungs after fully exhaling.
Residual Volume
The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.
Transpiration
A type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.
Evaporation

Condensation
A process by which a chemical is converted from a liquid solution into a solid crystalline state.
Crystallization
