Week 12 Respiratory System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|

| Which of the following is not lined with a ciliated mucous membrane? | Vestibule |
| The largest of the paranasal sinuses is the: | Maxillary |
| The structures that deflect air as it passes through the nose are called: | Conchae |
| Paranasal sinuses are normally filled with: | air |
| Which of the following is not a function of the pharynx? | Determines the quality of the voice |
| In the right lung, the superior and middle lobes are separated by the: | Horizontal Fissure |
| The eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the: | nasopharynx. |
| The more common name for the pharynx is the: | throat |
| The function of the vibrissae in the vestibule is to: | provide an initial “filter” to screen particulate matter from air that is entering the system. |
| The respiratory portion of the nasal passage is lined with a mucous membrane made up of _____ epithelium. | pseudostratified columnar |
| The hollow nasal cavity is separated by a midline partition called the: | septum |
| Which of the following is not a true statement? | Raising the ribs decreases the depth and width of the thorax. |
| The smallest branches of the bronchial tree are: | bronchioles |
| Gas exchange, the lungs’ main and vital function, takes place in the: | alveoli |
| Which of the following is true of the cribriform plate? | It separates the nasal and cranial cavities. |
| Which of the following is true of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx? | They serve in voice production. |
| The small, leaf-shaped cartilage behind the tongue and hyoid bone is the: | epiglottis |
| Which of the following does not distribute air? | alveolus |
| The structure in the neck known as the “Adam’s apple” is the: | thyroid cartilage |
| The approximate length of the trachea, or windpipe, is _____ cm. | 11cm |
| The anatomical division of the pharynx that is located behind the mouth from the soft palate above to the level of the hyoid bone below is called the: | oropharynx. |
| Which of the following lists the correct sequence of air as it passes through the nose into the pharynx? | Anterior nares vestibule inferior, middle, and superior meatus posterior nares |
| The upper respiratory tract includes all of the following structures except the: | trachea |
| The lower border of the cavity of the larynx is formed by the: | cricoid cartilage. |
| Olfactory epithelium is found: | covering the superior turbinate. |
| The fauces, one of the seven openings found in the pharynx, opens into the: | oropharynx. |
| The function of surfactant is to: | prevent each alveolus from collapsing as air moves in and out during respiration. |
| The small openings in the cribriform plate function to: | allow branches of the olfactory nerve to enter the cranial cavity and reach the brain. |
| The _____ of each lung lies against the ribs and is rounded to match the contours of the thoracic cavity. | costal surface |
| the trachea divides at its lower end into two | primary bronchi. |
| During respiration, the thorax | becomes larger when the chest is raised. |
| If you were to trace the movement of air through the nose into the pharynx, it would pass through the following structures in which order? | anterior nares, vestibule, meatus, and posterior nares A,V,M,P |
| The trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs make up the | lower respiratory tract. |
| Which organ consists largely of cartilages that are attached to one another and to surrounding structures by muscles or fibrous and elastic tissue components? | larynx |
| The surface of the respiratory membrane inside each alveolus is coated with a fluid containing | surfactant. |
| The microscopic cilia function to | move mucus toward the pharynx. |
| An inflammation of the lower respiratory tract that involves the airways of the lungs is called | pneumonia. |
| The small leaf-shaped cartilage that projects upward behind the tongue and hyoid bone is the | epiglottis. |
| The vibrissae function as | filters |
| The air-containing spaces that open, or drain, into the nasal cavity are called | paranasal sinuses. |
| The roof of the nose is separated from the cranial cavity by a portion of the ethmoid bone called the | cribriform plate. |
| Gas exchange occurs only in the | alveoli. |
| A common condition characterized by acute inflammation of the tracheobronchial tree is | acute bronchitis. |
