The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
Small quantities of certain minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and salt are important for nutrition and health.
A substance undergoes a phase transition when it moves from one state of matter to another, for example, when water freezes or boils.
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
