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

all of these are correct |

Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?
oceanic |
|
sedimentary |

The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
