Question	Answer
alveolar duct	airway that branches from the smallest bronchioles
alveolar sac	each alveolar duct ends in several sacs that resemble a cluster of grapes
alveoli	a small cavity
aortic body	small cluster of chemosensitive cells that respond to carbon dioxide and oxygen levels
apnea	temporary cessation of breathing
bronchi	the branches of the trachea
bronchiolus	small branch of a bronchus
carbaminohemoglobin	the compound formed by the union of carbon dioxide with hemoglobin
carotid body	chemoreceptor located in the carotid artery that detects changes in the oxygen, CO2, and blood acid levels
conchae	shell-shaped strucuture; ex: bony projections into the nasal cavity
dyspnea	difficult of labored breathing
epiglottis	lidlike cartilage overhanging the entrance to the larynx
eupnea	normal respiration
expiratory reserve volume	the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after expiring the tidal volume
glottis	the space between the vocal cords
heme	iron-containing component of hemoglobin
hyperventilation	very rapid deep respirations
hypoventilation	slow and shallow respirations
hypoxia	abnormallly low concentraction of oxygen in the blood or tissue fluids
infant respiratory distress syndrome	leading cause of death in premature babies, due to the lack of surfactant in the alveolar air sacs
inspiratory reserve volume	the amount of air that can be forcibly inspired over and above a normal respiration
maximum oxygen consumption	the max amount of oxygen taken up by the lungs, transported to the tissues, and used to do work
partial pressure	pressure exerted by any one gas in a mixture of gases or in a liquid; symbol used to designate partial pressure is a capital letter P preceding the chemical symbol for the gas
phrenic nerve	the nerve that stimulates the diaphragm to contact
pleurisy	inflammation of the pleura
pulmonary ventilation	breathing; process that moves air in and out of the lungs
residual volume	the air that remains in the lungs after the most forceful expiration
respiration	breathing
respiratory arrest	cessation of breathing without resumption
respiratory membrane	the single layer of cells that makes up the wall of the alveoli
respiratory mucosa	mucus-covered membrane that lines the tubes of the respiratory tree
sinusitis	sinus infections
spirometer	an instrument used to measure the amount of air exchanged in breathing
surfactant	a substance covering the surface of the respiratory membrane inside the alveolus, which reduces surface tension and prevents the alveoli from collapsing
tidal volume	amount of air breathed in and out with each breath
tonsillectomy	surgical procedure used to remove the tonsils
trachea	the windpipe, the tube extending from the larynx to the bronchi
vital capacity	largest amount of air that can be moved in and out of the lungs in one inspiration and expiration
