| What is the function of larynx | production of vocal sounds |
| WHat is the function of the trachea | breathing |
| What is the function of the bronchi | providing passageway for air between the trachea and lungs |
| What is the function of the lungs | 1. Supply oxygen 2. Remove wastes and toxins 3. DEfend against hostile intruders |
| What is ventilation? | movement to and from the alveoli |
| What is the diaphragm? | dome shaped muscle located below the lungs |
| Where are the intercostal muscles | located between the ribs |
| What is atmospheric pressure | the pressure of the air around us |
| What is intrapleural pressure | the pressure within the potential pleural space between the parietal and visceral pleura |
| What is intrapulmonic pressure | the pressure within the bronchial tree and alveoli |
| Tidal volume | volume of air entering or leaving the lungs during a single breath |
| inspiratory reserve volume | volume of air that can be inspired over and above the resting tidal volume |
| expiratory reserve volume | volume of air that can be expired after a normal expiration |
| residual volume | volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximal expiration |
| inspiratory capacity | maximum volume that can be expired after a maximal inspiration |
| vital capacity | maximum volume that can be expired after a maximal inspiration |
| functional residual capacity | volume of air left in the lungs after a normal expiration |
| total lung capacity | volume of the lungs when fully inflated |
| Respiratory rate | number of breaths per minute |
| minute ventilation | total volume of air expired per minute |
| dead space | volume of inspired air that is not available for gas exchange |
| alveolar ventilation | volume of air that reaches the alveoli per minute |
| asthma | chronic inflammatory disease typically caused when allergens or other irritating substances cause swelling in the lining of the trachea and bronchial tubes |
| COPD | chronic obstruction of air flow through the airways and out of the lungs |
| bronchitis | inflammation of the mucous membrane in the lungs' bronchial passages |
| Emphysema | progressive disease of the lung that primarily causes SOB |
| common cold | infection of the upper respiratory tract |
| cystic fibrosis | chronic, progressive disease that causes mucus to become thick, dry, and sticky that builds up and clogs passages in many body organs |
| hay fever | seasonal allergic rhinitis |
| influenza | viruses that infect the respiratory tract |
| Legionnaire's disease | type of pneumonia or lung infection |
| lung cancer | leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the US |
| pleurisy | inflammation of the lungs |
| pulmonary edema | caused by fluid accumulation in the lungs |
| pulmonary embolism | blood clot in the lung |
| SARS | spread mainly through contact with infected saliva or droplets from coughing |
| sinusitis | infection or inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the inside of the nose and sinuses |
| tuberculosis | contagious disease caused by the bacillus mycobacterium tuberculiosis |
| what is hemoptysis | coughing up blood |
| What organs make up the upper respiratory tract | nose and pharynx |
| what organs make up the lower respiratory tract | larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and lungs |
| what are the two portions of the nose | external and internal |
| what are the 4 paranasal sinuses | maxillary, frontal, sphenoidal, ethmoidal |
| what are the 3 tonsils | adenoids, palatine, lingual |
| what are the 3 cartilaginous structures that protect the larynx | thyroid, epiglottic, cricoid |
| what protects the trachea | c-rings of cartilage |
| what is a precise sequence of events | inhalation |
| what is considered a passive process | expiration |
| where are respiratory centers located | brain stem |
| what is pleura | thin sheets of epithelium that cover the outer surface of the lungs |
| what is the pleural space | gap between the pleura |
| what is surfactant | fluid that fills the pleural space |
| what does the mediastinum contain | heart, trachea, esophagus and blood vessels |
| what are alveoli | small air sacs that support network of capillaries used for oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer |
| what are the respiratory muscles | diaphragm and intercostal muscles |
| where does the nose drain | paranasal sinuses |
| how do the sinuses decrease weight in the skull | creation of air pockets |
| what is the function of the tonsils | fight infection |
| how long is the pharynx | 5 in |
| what are the 3 parts of the pharynx | oropharynx, laryngopharynx, nasopharynx |
| what connects the trachea and esophagus | pharynx |
| which tonsils are referred to as "the tonsils" | palatine |
