QuestionAnswer
Nasal Cavities two spaces separates by a bony partition called the nasal septum, between the eyes.
Nasal choana or conchae (choana=funnel) curved projections along the lateral sides of the nasal cavities; filter out dust particles and warm and humidify the incoming air.
Sinuses small cavities in the bones of the skull; lined with mucous membranes; communicate with the nasal cavities.
Pharynx (throat) passageway lined with mucous membranes; connects the nasal cavities to the larynx
Ororpharynx the middle portion of the pharynx; lies directly behind the oral cavity; contains the palatine tonsils on its walls, and the lingual tonsils on the posterior tongue
Laryngopharynx the bottom portion of the pharynx; lies directly above the larynx.
Larynx a cartilaginous structure; contains the vocal cords and a small protrusion of cartilage commonly called the Adam's apple; also called the voice box.
Glottis the opening between the vocal cords.
Epiglottis a cartilaginous structure above the glottis; folds down over the glottis during swallowing to prevent food and water from entering the trachea.
Trachea (windpipe) a rigid tube made up of a series of horseshoe shaped cartilaginous rings, connects the pharynx to the bronchi of the lungs
Mediastinum anatomical space between the lungs; where the trachea, heart, major blood vessels, and esophagus are located.
Bronchi cartilaginous tubes that extend from the trachea into the lungs
Bronchioles small bronchi
Terminal bronchioles the last segments of the bronchioles; connect to the alveoli
Alveoli tiny sacs where gas exchange takes place in the lungs
Surfactant a lipid secreted in the alveoli; reduces surface tension of the water within the lung; decreasing the energy required to fill the alveoli with air.
Pleural membranes serous membranes associated with the lungs; produce a lubricant to reduce friction between the lungs and the walls of the pleural cavity.
Parietal pleura serous membrane surrounding the internal walls of the thoracic cavity.
Visceral pleura serous membrane lining the outer surfaces of the lungs.
Tidal volume the volume of air moved in or out of the lungs in one breath during quiet relaxed breathing (about 0.5L)
Residual volume the volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximum exhalation (about 1.2L)
Vital capacity the volume of air that can be exhaled after the maximum inhalation (about 4.8L)
Total lung capacity the total volume of air that can be contained in the lungs (about 6L)
