Question
Answer
nares   show
🗑
show externally visible part of the respiratory system  
🗑
nasal cavity   show
🗑
olfactory receptors   show
🗑
respiratory mucosa   show
🗑
show nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli; purify, humidify and warm the incoming air  
🗑
show the terminal air sacs; dead end of the incoming oxygen; where the gas exchanges with blood  
🗑
show lobes of the lateral walls of the nasal cavity, increase the surface area of the mucosa exposed to air; increase air turbulence in the nasal cavity; three levels, superior, middle, inferior  
🗑
show the partition between the nasal cavity and the oral cavity; both hard, supported by bone and soft, unsupported posterior part  
🗑
cleft palate   show
🗑
paranasal sinuses   show
🗑
show lighten the skull, act as resonance chambers for speech; produce mucus, draining into the nasal cavities  
🗑
nasolacrimal ducts   show
🗑
show inflammation of the nasal mucosa  
🗑
sinusitis   show
🗑
sinus headache   show
🗑
show muscular passageway 5 inches long vaguely resembling a short garden hose; the throat  
🗑
posterior nasal aperture   show
🗑
show air enters into this from the nasal cavity  
🗑
show the middle portion, between the naso- and laryno-pharynx  
🗑
show the lower portion of the pharynx  
🗑
esophagus   show
🗑
show drain the middle ear into the nasopharynx  
🗑
otitis media   show
🗑
tonsils   show
🗑
show adenoid, high in the nasopharynx  
🗑
show in the oropharynx at the end of the soft palate  
🗑
show at the base of the tongue  
🗑
show inflamed and swollen pharyngeal tonsil tissue  
🗑
show voice box; routes air and food into the proper channels; plays a role in speech; formed by eight rigid hyaline cartilages, and epiglottis  
🗑
show part of the larynx cartilage, AKA adam's apple  
🗑
show protects the superior opening of the larynx; forms a lid over the opening of the larynx, routing food into the esophagus  
🗑
show mucous membrane of the larynx; vibration of these allow us to speak  
🗑
glottis   show
🗑
trachea   show
🗑
show causes the trachea to be fairly rigid; aids the esophagus in staying open and expanding  
🗑
show formed by the division of the trachea; joins at the hilum of the lung; right is wider, straighter and shorter than the left  
🗑
show fairly large organs, occupy the entire thoracic cavity except for the mediastinum  
🗑
mediastinum   show
🗑
apex   show
🗑
base   show
🗑
pulmonary (visceral) pleura   show
🗑
show lines the walls of the thorcic cavity  
🗑
pleural fluid   show
🗑
pleural space   show
🗑
pleurisy   show
🗑
bronchioles   show
🗑
terminal bronchioles   show
🗑
show respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs and alveoli; the only site of gas exchange  
🗑
show serve as conduits to and from the respiratory zone  
🗑
show connect neighboring air sacs of the alveoli  
🗑
respiratory membrane (air-blood barrier)   show
🗑
show go in and out of alveoli, picking up bacteria, carbon particles and debris  
🗑
show lipid molecule produced by cuboidal cells, coats the gas-exposed alveolar surfaces, aids in lung function  
🗑
show pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, respiratory gas transport, internal respiration  
🗑
show breathing; depends of the volume changes occurring in the thoracic cavity  
🗑
external respiration   show
🗑
repiratory gas transport   show
🗑
internal respiration   show
🗑
inspiration   show
🗑
show air is leaving the lungs  
🗑
show respiratory inspiratory muscle  
🗑
external intercostals   show
🗑
intrapulmonary volume   show
🗑
show exhalation, largely passive process depending on the natural elasticity of the lungs  
🗑
show the depression of the rib cage, forcing air from the lungs  
🗑
intrapleural pressure   show
🗑
show lung collapse  
🗑
pneumothorax   show
🗑
show result of reflex activity; laughing, crying, a result of emotion  
🗑
show normal, quiet breathing, air moving in and out of the lungs with each breath  
🗑
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)   show
🗑
show the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a tidal expiration  
🗑
residual volume   show
🗑
show the total amount of exchangeable air; the sum of TV + IRV + ERV  
🗑
show the air that never reaches the alveoli  
🗑
show measures the respiratory capacity  
🗑
show the sounds that can be picked up with a stethoscope  
🗑
show occur as air fills the alveoli; soft and resembles a muffled breeze  
🗑
show oxygen attaching to hemoglobin molecules inside the RBC  
🗑
bicarbonate ion (HCO3)   show
🗑
carbonic acid (H2CO3)   show
🗑
show several causes, can become hypoxia  
🗑
show inadequate oxygen intake, causing bluish cast in skin  
🗑
show skin becomes a bluish tint due to inadequate oxygen intake  
🗑
medulla   show
🗑
show normal respiratory rate  
🗑
pons   show
🗑
hyperpnea   show
🗑
show physical, volition (conscious control), emotional, chemical  
🗑
show blows off carbon dioxide and decreases the amount of carbonic acid, returning blood pH to normal range  
🗑
show extremely slow or shallow breathing  
🗑
show cessation of breathing  
🗑
dyspnea   show
🗑
chonic bronchitis   show
🗑
show alveoli enlarge, chronic inflammation promotes fibrosis of the lungs, airways collapse during expiration and obstruct outflow of air  
🗑
show chronic obstructive pulmonary disease  
🗑
show highest in newborn (40-80 per minute), infant (30 per min), 5 years (25 per min), adult (12-18 per min)  
🗑

🗑
show occurs when the muscles that support the soft tissues in your throat temporarily relax; when these muscles relax, airway is narrowed or closed  
🗑
