tympanic membranehearing
skin1.) Covering of the body 2) Respiration 3.) Camouflage
glottisControls movement of air from mouth to lungs. It remains closed except when lungs are used in breathing
eustachian tubeconnects middle ear with the mouth so that it can EQUALIZE EAR PRESSURE WITHIN THE MIDDLE EAR
nostrilsBRING OXYGEN INTO THE LUNGS where it is absorbed directly thru the lining of the throat or taken to the lungs
lungsa place where AIR and BLOOD come into close contact for the EXCHANGE OF GASES (O2 and CO2) to occur
heartPUMPS BLOOD to the body through the circulatory system
ventricle (heart)lower, POINTED, section of the heart. PUMPS BLOOD TO THE BODY
Atria (heart)SAC-LIKE section of the heart above the ventricle. RECEIVES BLOOD from the body and lungs
arteriesblood vessels that leave the heart CARRYING BLLOD TO THE CAPILLARIES
veinsblood vessels that CARRY BLOOD BACK TO THE HEART
aortaMAIN blood vessel leaving the heart. CARRIES OXYGENATED BLOOD TO THE BODY
