QuestionAnswer
The air-containing spaces that open, or drain, into the nasal cavity are called paranasal sinuses.
The trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs make up the lower respiratory tract.
Identify the letter that indicates the soft wall of the trachea allows the esophagus to expand anteriorly. B
Identify the letter that indicates the cartilage that has a laryngeal prominence that is also known as the "Adam's apple." D
Identify the letter that indicates the fibromusculocartilaginous layer with hyaline cartilaginous rings that allow the trachea to bend and elongate but not collapse. D
The microscopic cilia function to move mucus toward the pharynx.
Identify the letter that indicates a flexible tube that has C-shaped cartilaginous rings that keep it from collapsing. E
During respiration, the thorax becomes larger when the chest is raised.
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 vibrissae function as filters.
Identify the letter that indicates the uvula. C
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
An inflammation of the lower respiratory tract that involves the airways of the lungs is called pneumonia.
Identify the letter that indicates the cartilage that anchors the vocal cords posteriorly. A
Gas exchange occurs only in the alveoli.
The surface of the respiratory membrane inside each alveolus is coated with a fluid containing surfactant.
Identify the letter that indicates the vocal fold, or true vocal cord. E
Identify the letter that indicates the vestibular fold, or false vocal cord. C
Identify the letter that indicates the trachealis muscle. B
Identify the letter that indicates a muscular tube that serves as a common passageway for food and air. D
A common condition characterized by acute inflammation of the tracheobronchial tree is acute bronchitis.
Identify the letter that indicates Ciliated cells in this layer transport mucus laden with dust, bacteria, pollen, and viruses towards the pharynx. C
The small leaf-shaped cartilage that projects upward behind the tongue and hyoid bone is the epiglottis.
Identify the letter that indicates the cartilage that folds over the opening of the larynx the glottis. The function of this cartilage is to prevent aspiration of foods and liquids into the lower respiratory tubes. B
Identify the letter that indicates the opening of the pharyngotympanic tube. B
The roof of the nose is separated from the cranial cavity by a portion of the ethmoid bone called the cribriform plate.
Identify the letter that indicates a muscular tube that propels swallowed food to the stomach. A
The trachea divides at its lower end into two primary bronchi.
Identify the letter that indicates structures that assist in filtering, heating, and humidifying inspired air. A
The _____ of each lung lies against the ribs and is rounded to match the contours of the thoracic cavity. costal surface
Which of the following is true of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx? They serve in voice production.
Which of the following is not a function of the pharynx? Determines the quality of the voice
The approximate length of the trachea, or windpipe, is _____ cm. 11
Which of the following is not a true statement? Raising the ribs decreases the depth and width of the thorax.
The hollow nasal cavity is separated by a midline partition called the: septum.
The fauces, one of the seven openings found in the pharynx, opens into the: oropharynx.
The more common name for the pharynx is the: throat.
The largest of the paranasal sinuses is the: maxillary.
The smallest branches of the bronchial tree are: bronchioles.
The upper respiratory tract includes all of the following structures except the: trachea.
The eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the: nasopharynx.
Olfactory epithelium is found: covering the superior turbinate.
Which of the following is true of the cribriform plate? It separates the nasal and cranial cavities.
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 small, leaf-shaped cartilage behind the tongue and hyoid bone is the: epiglottis.
Gas exchange, the lungs’ main and vital function, takes place in the: alveoli.
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.
The structures that deflect air as it passes through the nose are called: conchae.
Which of the following does not distribute air? Alveolus
The respiratory portion of the nasal passage is lined with a mucous membrane made up of _____ epithelium. pseudostratified columnar
The structure in the neck known as the “Adam’s apple” is the: thyroid cartilage.
The small openings in the cribriform plate function to: allow branches of the olfactory nerve to enter the cranial cavity and reach the brain.
Which of the following is not a function of the respiratory system? Distributes oxygen to cells
Which of the following is not lined with a ciliated mucous membrane? Vestibule
The function of surfactant is to: prevent each alveolus from collapsing as air moves in and out during respiration.
Paranasal sinuses are normally filled with: air.
In the right lung, the superior and middle lobes are separated by the: horizontal fissure.
The external openings to the nasal cavities can be referred to as: nostrils, anterior nares, external nares, all of the above
The lower border of the cavity of the larynx is formed by the: cricoid cartilage.
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
