HEART AND LUNGS
TRACHEA
Otherwise known as the windpipe
20 rings of cartilage
Widens and lengthens slightly with each breath in
BRONCHI
Main passage ways into the lungs
Linked to the larynx
Turn into bronchioles as they get further into the lungs
Tiny airsacs called alveoli, where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place
Bronchitis is caused by swollen Bronchi, which means it gets harder to breath
HEART
The heart is a muscle and an organ that pumps blood around the body
Veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart where it is reoxygenated and taken away in the arteries
Atriums pump blood into the opposite side's ventricle, were the blood is then carried away through the veins
The Aortic valve opens to let blood flow through to the body, then closes up again to stop blood flowing freely
