- fraction
- comparison of parts to a whole number
- base
- the number or expression that is used as a factor in a repeated multiplication
- scientific notation
- A method of writing or displaying numbers in terms of a decimal number between one and ten multiplied by a power of ten.
- bronchi
- two short tubes that branch off the lower end of the trachea and carry air into the lungs
- bronchioles
- the smallest branches that the bronchi divide into. Considering the amount of cartilaginous reinforcements in the walls decreases as the size decreases, these have an increasing amount of smooth muscle the smaller they become
- ureter
- tube that carries urine from each kidney to bladder
- bladder
- elastic, muscular organ that holds urine until it leaves the body
- renal artery
- carries unfiltered blood to the kidney
- factor
- any of two or more numbers or mathematical expressions that when multiplied together form a product
- power
- a product formed from repeated multiplication by the same number or expression which consists of a base and exponent
- nephron
- tiny filtering unit of the kidney
- least common multiple
- the least number that is a common multiple of two or more whole numbers
- renal vein
- receives all the circulatory drainage of the kidneys
- excretion
- seperation and eliminations or discharging from the blood, tissues or organs in the form of sweat of urine
- urinary tract
- system of excretory organs that rids the blood of wastes, controls blood volume by removing excess water, and balances concentrations of salts and water
- renal
- blood curcuit that travels through the kidneys
- diaphragm
- muscles beneath the lungs that contract and relax to move gases in and out of the body
- exponent
- a number or expression that represents how many times a base is used as a factor in a repeated multiplication
- pharynx
- tubelike passageway for food, liquid, and air
- alveoli
- tiny, thin walled, grapelike clusters at the end of each bronchiole that are surrounded by capillaries, where carbon dioxide and oxygen exchanges take place
- kidney
- bean-shaped urinary organ that is made up of about one million nephrons which filter blood, producing urine
- capillaries
- a net that surrounds the alveoli and carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- respiratory
- a system of organs functioning in respiration and in humans consists the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs
- trachea
- air conducting tube that connects the larynx with the bronchi, is lined with mucus membranes and cilia, and contains strong cartilage strings
- asthma
- lung disorder in which the bronchial tubes contract quickly and cause shortness of breath, wheezing, or coughing; may occur as an allergic reaction
- greatest common factor
- the greatest whole number that is a factor of two or more nonzero numbers
- excretory
- the system that removes wastes from the body
- larynx
- airway to which the vocal cords are attatched
- respiration
- series of chemical reactions used to release energy stored in food molecules
- hypothalamus
- an area in your brain that monitors the amount of water in your blood
- urine
- waste water that contains excess water, salts, and other wastes that are not reabsorbed by the body
