39
Platelets
Platelets are tiny/small bodies that are involved in n blood clotting. Platelets role is to heal a wound by clumping together around the wound,
40
Circulatory System
It is a body system that circulates oxygen in blood to all the different parts of the body. The circulatory system is made up from the heart, the blood vessels and blood.
41
Arteries
Arteries are vessels that are hollow and have thick walls which moves the blood to different parts of the body.
42
Veins
Veins are blood vessels that transport blood back to the heart. (They have thinner walls than arteries and have valves).
43
Capillaries
They are tubes transporting the blood to blood cells. Also every cell has the capillaries that provide blood.
44
Oxygenate Blood
Oxygenated blood are a bright red blood that provide oxygen in the lungs.
45
Deoxygenated Blood
Deoxygenated blood is when some oxygen in the blood has been removed.
46
Vena Cava
Vena Cava is a large vain leading into the top right area of the human heart which pumps blood.
47
Left Atrium
It is the top left area of the human heart is where oxygenate blood that came from the lungs comes into the heart.
48
Right Atrium
It is the top right area of the human heart is where deoxygenated blood from the body enters into the human heart.
49
Left Ventricle
It is the bottom left area of the human heart, which pumps oxygenated blood to all the different sections in the body.
50
Right Ventricle
It is the bottom right area of the human heart, which pumps deoxygenated blood to the human lungs.
51
Valves
It is flap-like folds that is in line of the other hollow organ and blood vessel that makes liquid such as blood to flow in a particular direction only.
52
‘Lub Dub’
'Lub Dub’ is the sound that is created by the heart valves when they close.
53
Blood Pressure
Measures how powerful the blood is when it's pumped through body’s main arteries.
54
Systolic Pressure
It is when the higher blood pressure reading during when the heart muscles get tighter.
55
Diastolic Pressure
It is when the lowest blood pressure reading during when the heart muscles relaxes.
56

It is when the heart muscles become tight 60 to 100 times per minute.
57
Pulse
It is when the human arteries tighten up and expand because of the heart pumping blood.

66
Bronchioles
They are small branching which is in the lung leading from the the two bigger bronchi to the alveoli.
67
Alveoli
Is it the small air sacs at the end of the lungs which is narrow tubes.
68
