| Question | Answer |
| Respiration | the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide that takes place during inhalation and exhalation |
| Pulmonary Ventilation | mechanical process of moving air in and out of the lungs |
| External respiration | gax exchange process btw alveoli and pulmonary capillaries. This oxygenates the blood and eliminates CO2 in lungs |
| Internal respiration | gax exchange process btw cells and systenic capillaries. Delivers Oxygen to the celss and removing CO2 from the cell |
| Cellualar respiration and metabolism | aka aerobic metabolism occurring in the cell. Process breaks down glucose in the presence of oxygen, and produces energy in the form of ATP. Also releases CO2 and water as a by product |
| Upper Airway | extends from nose and mouth to the cricoid cartilage. |
| nasopharynx | air entered through the nasal passages |
| Oropharyynx | Air traveling through the mouth |
| 2 passages founhd at the lower end of the pharynx(throat)? | Trachea, and esophagus |
| Epiglottis | This protects the trachea. It's a small leaf-shaped flap of cartilaginous tissue. Open when breathing, closed when food and water go through. |
| Larynx | above trachea and below epiglottis. This is a voice box which contains the vocal cords. |
| Lower Airway | extends from the cricoid cartilage to the alveoli of the lungs |
| Trachea | Extending from the larynx to the carina, this is where air enters the lungs |
| Carina | point at which the trachea splits into the right and left mainstream bronchi. |
| bilateral | both sides |
| bradypnea | breathing rate slower than normal |
| cyanosis | bluish color of the skin and mucus membranes that indicates poor oxygenation of tissues |
| deoxygenated | containing a low amount of oxygen, as with venous blood |
| hemoglobin | complex protein molecule found on the surface of the red blood cell that is responsible for carrying a majority of the oxygen in the blood |
