Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
nervous |
|
circulation |
|
respiration |
|
digestion |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles.

The two heart chambers that collect blood are called:
valves |
|
atria |
|
aorta |
|
ventricles |
The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
