Respiratory System
Bio Test Part 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Function of: Lungs? | the primary organs of the respiratory system that absorb oxygen from the air and have three parts: the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli |
| Function of: Larynx | "voicebox" contains vocal cords |
| Function of: bronchioles | smaller tubes that branch off the bronchi that hold the alveoli |
| Function of: alveoli | tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles that are specialized for gas exchange |
| Function of: emphysema | condition in the respiratory system that damages the alveoli caused by smoking |
| Function of: pharynx | name of the throat of the tube that carries both food and air |
| Function of: Diaphram | the muscle that located at the bottom of the rib cage that is helped with breathing |
| What is the respiratoty system? | responsible for bringing oxygen to the body and releasing carbon dioxide |
| What is asthma? | condition in the respitory system that causes bronchi to narrow down due to a trigger like pollen |
| Function of: Trachea | larger tubes that direct air into lungs |
| Function of: epiglottis | flap of tissue that covers the larynx that prevents food from going into the lungs |
| function of: bronchi | passageway after pharynx that takes air into the lungs |
| What are the 4 functions of the respiratory system? | 1. removes carbon dioxide from the body 2. gets oxygen from the environment 3. removes excess water 4. helps with speech |
| What happens when the diaphragm is pushed up to make lungs contract? | you are exhaling |
| What happens when the diaphragm is pulled down to make lungs expand? | you are inhaling |
