Respitory System!
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which two groups are the organs in the breathing system divided into. | Upper and lower respiratory |
| The openings for air | nostrils |
| what supports the nose | bone and cartilage |
| Passage way for food and air | Pharynx |
| What's located in the upper respitory | nose,nasal cavity,paranasal sinuses, and pharynx |
| What's located in the lower respitory | larynx,trachea,bronchial tree, and lungs |
| Entire process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body | respiration |
| conducts air and helps prevent foregin objects from entering the trachea | the larynx |
| what is the larynx made out of | muscles and cartilage |
| what is the larynx lined with | mucous membrane |
| what does the larynx contain | vocal cords |
| Helps prevent foods and liquids from entering the trachea | The glottis and epiglottis |
| Where is the pharynx located | behind the nasal cavity,oral cavity, and layrnx |
| extends into the thoracic cavity anterior to the esophagus.It divides into right and left bronchi | trachea |
| consists of branched air passages that lead from the trachea to the air sacs | bronchial tree |
| 3 parts of the pharynx | nasopharynx,oropharynx, and laryngopharynx |
| windpipe | trachea |
| smallest conducting nasal passage way | bronchioles |
| seperates the oral and nasal cavities | palate |
| Major nerve,stimulating the diaphragm | pheneric nerve |
| Food passageway posterior to the Trachea | Esophagus |
| Closes off the larynx during swallowing | epiglottis |
| Acutal siteof gas exchanges | alveoli |
| pleural layer covering the thorax walls | parietal pleura |
| pleural layer covering the lungs | visceral pleura |
| Lumen of larynx | glottis |
| Fleshy lobes in the nasal cavity which increase its surface area. | conchae |
| Lack or cessation of brathing | apena |
| Normal breathing in terms of rate and depth | eupnea |
| labored breathing, or air hunger | Dyspena |
| chronic oxygen deficiency | hypoxia |
| condition characterized by increased mucus production, which clogs respitory passageways and prompts coughing. | chronic bronchitis |
| respiratoy passageways narrowed by bronchiolar spasms. | asthma |
| Together called COPD | asthma,Emphysema,and chronic bronchitis |
| strongly associated with cigerette smoking,outlook is poor | lung cancer |
| infection spread by airborn bacteria, a recent alarming increase in drug users and aids victims. | tuberculosis |
