What dome shaped muscle is responsible for the increase and decrease in size of the chest cavity?
Diaphragm
Pieces of cells that are small and colorless whose function is to stop bleeding by giving off a chemical that helps blood to clot. Which type of blood cell does this describe?
Platelets
Which blood vessel makes up the majority of blood vessels in the human body?
Capillaries
Which blood vessel carries blood away from the heart?
Arteries
The alveoli in the lungs are surrounded by tiny blood vessels that allow the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide to occur. What are these blood vessels called?
Capillaries
Which side of the human heart (right or left) is bigger?
*Bonus: For double the points explain why?
The left side of the heart is bigger because it has to pump blood to the entire body.
Human blood is made up of four components (parts). Identify those four components (parts) of blood.
1. Plasma
2. Red Blood Cells
3. White Blood Cells
4. Platelets
The human circulatory system is composed of the heart, blood, and three types of blood vessels. Place those blood vessels in order from thickest to thinnest. Also identify which blood vessels contain oxygen rich blood.
1. Arteries (Oxygen)
2. Veins
3. Capillaries
Explain why your pulse gets faster when you exercise.
When you exercise, the muscles demand for oxygen and energy increases and your heart rate and breathing must also increase in order to keep up with the demand.

* Branching Tubes
1. Mouth and Nose
2. Trachea
