Alveoli
tiny bulges of air sacs in lungs where gases diffuse between air in lungs + blood
1 of 13
Bronchi
(single:bronchus) 2 divisions of trachea as it joins to lungs

Carcinogenic
can cause cancer (uncontrolled division of cells)

Compensation Point
point at which rate of photosynthesis + respiration in plant are equal, no net production or uptake of gas

sheet of muscle and tendon at bottom of lungs, controls breathing

breathing out
