    carry oxygen on hemoglobin
  18. define white blood cells
    fight infection
  19. define capillaries
    allow the exchange of nutrients between blood and cells connect arteries and veins
  20. define veins
    • carries blood to the heart
    • oxygen poor blood
  21. define artieries
    • carries blood to the heart to body cells
    • oxygen-rich blood
  22. define emphysema
    a 2 probs dia resp sys
    alveoil are damaged and cant exchange oxygen and co2
  23. define asthma
    2 probs dia resp sys
    bronchioles narrow and make it hard to breathe
  24. define hear attack
    2 p dia cardio
    an arter gets block and causes part of the heat to die-can no longer function
  25. define heart failure
    2p dia carido

    2p dia cario
    high blood pressure can cause kidney and liver damage
  28. functions-cadio
