Body Systems
Alvioli - ANS-small air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged
arteries - ANS-carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to other parts of the body
Bronchi - ANS-two short branches located at the lower end of the trachea that carry air into the
lungs
Bronchioles - ANS-smallest branches of the bronchi
capillary - ANS-smallest blood vessel; brings nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and absorbs
carbon dioxide and waste products
circulatory system - ANS-carries needed materials to the body cells, including oxygen; carries
waste away from the body, including carbon dioxide
circulatory system parts - ANS-heart, arteries, capillaries, veins, blood, white blood cells
diaphragm - ANS-large, flat muscle at the bottom of the chest cavity that helps with breathing;
when it is contracted oxygen is inhaled, and when it is relaxed carbon dioxide is exhaled
digestive system - ANS-breaks down food to give the body energy
digestive system parts - ANS-mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, small intestine, large
intestine, rectum, anus
excretory system - ANS-removes waste products from the body
immune system - ANS-helps fight viruses, germs, and diseases
integumentary system - ANS-protects the body, releases excess water in sweat, and helps
regulate body temperature
left atrium and left ventricle - ANS-contain oxygen-rich blood
muscular system - ANS-works with the skeletal system to allow the body to move
nervous system - ANS-responds to stimuli in the environment, and controls most body functions
plasma - ANS-Liquid part of blood, made mostly of water, salt, sugar, and protein
