Expels remains which are produced during metabolism and are transported by circulatory system. Explain, briefly, which are the differences and similarities between two breathing mechanism that we have studies Name the main characteristic of veins and arteries Why do we say that the circulatory circuit is a double circuit? Complete the text: When we breath in, our diaphragm moves and .. The ribs move and the volume of the chest cavity When we breath out, our diaphragm . It moves .. The ribs move and then the vol ume of chest cavity Words: up, down, increase, decrease, contract, relax. (Use the correct tense) Copy and choose the correct word. Listen and check your choice: Arteries carry the blood away/back from the heart. As they get nearer to/further from the heart, they branch out into narrower/wider vessels. These vessels then multiply/divide into larger/smaller ones called capillaries Explain, briefly, the mechanism to form urine Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs. Note that in same case negative form is needed a. Blood (pump) out to the rest of the body by heart b. The heart (divide) into two halves c. The two haves (connect) d. The heart (make up of) muscle e. Blood (allow) from the ventricle to the auricle in the heart. Choose the correct preposition a. Blood moves inside/around our circulatory system b. Cell depend on/of the heart to receive nutrients and oxygen c. The heart is made of / from muscle tissue and is divided in/into chambers d. Between/in the auricle and the ventricle on/at each side, there is a valve called tricuspic and mitral. e. The mitral valve allows blood to flow from/to the auricle from/to ventricle. Answer these questions. You can use these phrases to express your opinion: I think, In my opinion, This is because, As a consequence a.
