Alveoli Ans✓✓✓ gas exchange occurs here. they are located in the

Aorta Ans✓✓✓ the major artery of the body. takes oxygenated blood to
the organs and muscles of the body.
Bronchi Ans✓✓✓ the end of the trachea. has two branches that enter
the left and right lung.
Bronchioles Ans✓✓✓ small diameter bronchi that split and spread
through the lung.
Define Genome Ans✓✓✓ a cell's complete complement of DNA. All
the genetic information for an individual.
Define Metastasis Ans✓✓✓ when cells leave a tumor and travel
through the circulatory system to other places to establish more tumors
Describe treatments for cancer Ans✓✓✓ Surgery/removal, radiation,
chemotherapy.
diaphragm Ans✓✓✓ descends and creates a negative pressure around
the lungs, causing them to inflate and draw in air
, Esophagus Ans✓✓✓ long tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.
Uses peristalsis (wave-like muscle movements) to move food down to

How are fats, proteins, and carbohydrates digested? Ans✓✓✓ Food

appearance from our normal body cells. Once marked, they will trigger a
full immune response once they enter the body and are killed quickly.
how can our dietary choices prevent cancer? Ans✓✓✓ things like red
wine/grapes, strawberries, soybeans, and many others can slow down
