What is the main function of the respiratory system?

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the cells of the body

100
Tiny cells which send signals to the brain. They are also known as nerve cells.
What are neurons?

Regulation of pH and fluid balance helps maintain this overall condition.

What is homeostasis?

100

The body system that coordinates the body's actions and transmits signals to and from different parts of the body.

The nervous system

200

Bodies transform glucose as this molecule for longterm storage.

What is the glycogen?

200

This chemical is exhaled by animals, but plants "breathe" it in and use it to produce oxygen.

What is Carbon Dioxide?

200

The central nervous system is composed of the brain as well as this long structure that extends down the back and is the connector between the brain and all other parts of the body.

What is the spinal cord?

This hormone causes cells to absorb glucose from your blood.

What is insulin?

400

This process allows oxygen to move from the lungs into the blood without using energy.

What is diffusion?

400

Immune cells communicate using these signaling molecules.

What is an cytokines?

What is the relationship between the respiratory system and the circulatory system?

The respiratory system exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide with the circulatory system.

500
A structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron.
What is a synapse?
500

This process maintains proper water balance in the body.

What is osmoregulation?
