Blood Vessels
The Heart
100

Also called the windpipe, this connects your larynx to your lungs

Trachea

100

What is the process called where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged

Respiration

100

This blood cell type has no nucleus and is shaped like a biconcave disc.

Red Blood Cells

100

These blood vessels carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.

Arteries

100

This is the muscular chamber of the heart that pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta.

Left ventricle

200

The air passages that divide at the bottom of the windpipe to enter the two lungs

Bronchi

200

When you breath in (inhale)

Inspiration

200

This component of blood helps in clotting and stopping bleeding.

Platelets

200

Name three substances that are exchange via the capillaries

gases- carbon dioxide, oxygen, nutrients, hormones

200

The heart has four chambers, and this one receives deoxygenated blood from the body.

Right atrium

300

The large muscle that pulls air into the lungs

Diaphragm 
300

When you breath out (exhale)

Expiration

300

The liquid portion of blood that carries nutrients, waste products, and gases is called this.

Plasma

300

This large artery carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.

Aorta

300

This valve prevents the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.

Bicuspid valve (mitral valve)

400

The flap that covers the windpipe to keep food and water from entering the lungs

Epiglotis

400

Hollow organ that allows you to talk and make sounds when air moves in or out 

Larynx

400

Where are the blood cells made?

In the bone marrow

400

All types of this blood vessel carries deoxygenated blood except which one?

Pulmonary vein

400

Of all the 4 chambers of the heart, the walls of this chamber is the thickest.

Left ventricle

500

Where oxygen and carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange

Alveoli

500
The part of the respiratory system that is connected to the nose and mouth and sits above the larynx.

Pharynx

500

The oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells.

Haemoglobin

500

True or false: All blood vessels contain valves except veins.

False

500

What is pulmonary circulation?

The part of the circulatory system that moves deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, and then returns the oxygenated blood back to the heart
