Solid particles that form from bile chloestreol
What are GALL STONES?
These allow air to come in humidified and filtered through hairs
What are the NASAL CAVITY and the ORAL CAVITY?
Dome shaped muscle that is attached to the bottom of the lungs. It moves down for inhalation and up for exhalation
What is the DIAPHRAGM?
Artery passageway through heart is...
What is LEFT ATRIUM, LEFT VENTRICLE, AORTA?
These carry oxygenated blood from lungs, while these carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs
What are PULMONARY VEINS and PULMONARY ARTERIES?
Inability to digest lactose
What is LACTOSE INTOLERANCE?
This connects the first two to the lungs, with rings of cartilage holding it. Lined with mucous and ciliated epithelium, the cilia 'beat' to move the mucous and other debris away from lungs
What is TRACHEA?
Blocked / narrow pathways
Inflammation of bronchi

What are LUNGS?
This organ is the main one which pumps blood through the body and back to the lungs
What is the HEART?
Equation for cellular respiration
Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
or
C6H12O6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + energy
