| Explain what bronchitis is | Inflammation of bronchial linings increase mucus/cough |
| Why is breathing more difficult at higher altitudes | The air is too thin |
| Explain how the diaphragm works to control breathing | Diaphragm down expands chest air in contracts up air out 02/CO2 concentration in blood breathe faster/slower |
| conduction of respiration | Trachea(wind pipe) divides into two branches bronchi and there is left and right lungs Bronchioles is smaller branches Alveoli are sacks where respiration takes place and capillaries |
| How does breathing take place? | Muscles expand contract in response to pressure and change nerve signals(contcentration of CO2 in tissue speeds up and slows down) |
| Bronchi | Tubes that connect to the lungs |
| Mucous membranes | humidified the air we breath |
| Larynx | Contains voicebox |
| epiglottis | Keeps food and liquids from going into the lungs |
| eustachian tubes | Equalized pressure in the middle ear |
| Alveoli | Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide |
| cilia | Filters dust and other airborn pooutants |
| Trachea | Connect larynx and bronchi |
| pharynx | Connects mouth and nasal cavities to larynx |
| Diaphragm | Separates the chest from the abdomen |
| Ligaments | Ligaments are strong fibers band that holds joints together |
| Joints | A joints is place where two bones meet. There are essentially three kinds of joints, hinges, ball and socket and pivot joint |
