Platelets Small parts of the blood that help cause clotting to
stop bleeding, trap pathogens, and prevent
additional pathogens from entering the body.
Formed in the bone marrow
Leukocyte (wbc) largest blood cell; protects against pathogens,
foreign substances, and cell debris
Erythrocyte (rbc) Red blood cell, carries oxygen to all other cells in
the body. No nucleus
Plasma Plasma is the clear, straw-colored liquid portion of
blood. Makes up about 50% of blood. Plasma
contains proteins that help blood clot, transport
substances through the blood.
Capillaries Smallest blood vessels. Distribute oxygenated
blood from arteries to the tissues of the body and
to feed deoxygenated blood from the tissues back
, into veins.
Veins (except Carry deoxygenated blood back to heart
pulmonary)
Pulmonary Vein Carries oxygenated blood from lungs to heart
Arteries (except Carry oxygenated blood away from heart
Pulmonary)
Pulmonary Artery Carries deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs

circuit lungs.
Systemic Circuit Circuit of blood that carries blood between the
heart and the rest of the body.

Internal Respiration Production of energy through cellular respiration
Trachea a large membranous tube reinforced by rings of
cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial
tubes and conveying air to and from the lungs; the
windpipe.
Larynx the hollow muscular organ forming an air passage
