Like the respiratory system, the circulatory system serves to transport oxygen throughout the body while removing carbon dioxide. In addition, the circulatory system transports nutrients from the digestive system.
An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
An air mass is a large body of air that has similar moisture (density) and temperature characteristics. A front is a transition zone between two air masses.
