Respiratory System 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| oxygen from the air is transported in both by | blood |
| what gas is exiting our blood system | carbon dioxide |
| oxygen is necessary for our cell to produce | ATP |
| we need oxygen to turn | ADP into ATP for energy |
| what are the main 7 things associated with the respiratory system | mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs |
| the pharynx is located | behind mouth/nose,superior to larynx and trachea |
| the group of organs for gas exchanges are what system | respiratory system |
| bronchi is plural, what is singular | bronchus |
| air enters either through the .... or ..... | mouth or nose |
| the nose contains special bone structures called | conchae or turbinates |
| in the nose.. heat and moisture help to prevent | the lungs from drying out |
| what are the three nasal conchae | superior, middle and inferior |
| thyroid cartilage is good landmark for | larynx |
| The larynx ends and the Trachea starts just below the | cricoid cartilage |
| the cricothyroid membrane is located between | the thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage |
| in an emergency a horizontal cut can be made where? | cricothyroid membrane |
| when a cut is made through the trachea and a tube sutured in place this is called | tracheostomy |
| In the larynx we have flods that vibrate to | generate noise for speech |
| within the larynx are tow sets of folds, what are they | false and true |
| false vocal cords are superior or inferior to the true vocal cords | superior |
| what allows the vocal cords to vibrate as air passes | connective tissue and muscle |
| In a flat image picture the vocal cords are shown with which on the outside and which on the inside | false on the outer side and true on the inner side. |
| the trachea splits at the | carina |
| when the trachae splits, it forms the | left and right main brondus |
| bronchi split further into | lobar bronchi |
| the right lung contains how many lobes | 3, superior, middle and inferior |
| the left lung contains how many lobes | 2, superior and interior |
| why is the left lung smallers | because the heart |
| tar collects inside what of a smoker | alveoli |
| what surrounds the alveoli | capillaries |
| what structure increase the surface area the lungs | alveoli |
| alveoli is where what is exchanged | gases |
| Lobar bronchi split into | bronchioles |
| bronchioles split into | Respiratory Bronchioles |
| respiratory bronchioles split into | alveolar ducts |
| alveolar ducts contain small sacs called | alveoli |
| alveoli are surrounded by | capillaries |
| oxidation causes a ... color to the blood | red |
| during gas exchange, deoxigenated blood enters..... to become oxigenated blood | arteriole, alveolar wall, alveolus, capillary, venule |
| due to particles in the air, much of the respiratory system generates | mucous and have ciliated cells |
| what is the purpose of mucous | traps particles in lungs |
| purpose of cilia | move particles that mucous traps towards the mouth |
| structure inferior to the lungs | diaphragm |
| diaphragm is composed of what muscle | skeletal |
| contraction pulls the diaphragm | inferiorly, causing inspriation |
| when you breathe in the diaphragm | drops |
| asthma affects the | trachea |
| epinephrine dialiates the | trachea |
