What is systolic pressure?
Any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body.
What are arteries?
This is the provision of fresh air
What is ventilation?
A set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products.
What is cellular respiration?
The _______ is a thin skeletal muscle that sits at the base of the chest and separates the abdomen from the chest.
What is the diaphragm?
The pressure of the blood in the arteries when the heart is filling. It is the lower of two blood pressure measurements. For example, if the blood pressure is 120/80, then 80 is the ______ pressure.
What is diastolic pressure?
Any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying in most cases oxygen-depleted blood to the heart.
What are veins?
The lung volume representing the normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation and exaltation when extra effort is not applied.
What is tidal volume?
This enzyme helps break down starch in your mouth.
What is amylase?
A red protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood of vertebrates. Its molecule comprises four subunits, each containing an iron atom bound to a heme group.

What is a white blood cell?
It is the solidification of atoms or molecules into a highly structured form called a crystal.
What is crystallization?
Refers to the total amount of air in the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible.
What is total lung capacity?
