| A new strain of tuberculosis that is resistant to drug therapy has created concern that tuberculosis will become | a widespread infectious disease |
| The left lung has how many lobes? | two lobes |
| Asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and tuberculosis can lead to | chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) |
| The nasal cavities are lined with | a mucous membrane and have a rich blood supply. |
| The right lung has how many lobes? | three lobes |
| The nasal septum divides the nose into two hollow spaces called | nasal cavities |
| Another name for influenza or flu is a | viral infection |
| The inner surfaces of alveoli are covered with a lipid substance that helps to prevent them from collapsing. The substance is called | surfactant |
| An inflammation or infection of the lungs characterized by exudate in the alveoli is called | Pneumonia |
| The pharyngeal tonsils are located in the | nasopharynx |
| The correct name for the voice box is the | larynx |
| In order to carry air to both lungs, the trachea branches into two tubes called | bronchi |
| When cells use oxygen and nutrients to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide, the process is called | cellular respiration |
| A noninfectious, chronic respiratory condition that occurs when the walls of the alveoli deteriorate and lose their elasticity is | emphysema |
| The leading cause of cancer death in both men and women is | lung cancer |
| There is no symptoms in the early stages and prognosis is poor | Lung cancer |
| The esophagus and trachea branch off of the | laryngopharynx |
| The structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood are | alveoli |
| The membrane or sac that encloses each lung is a | pleura |
| A respiratory disorder caused by a sensitivity to an allergen is | asthma |
| The correct term for a nosebleed is | epistaxis |
| Tiny hair like structures in the nasal cavities that push trapped particles toward the esophagus so they can be swallowed is called | cilia |
| What happens to air in the nasal cavity | It is warmed, moistened, and filtered, |
| It closes during swallowing to prevent food and liquids from entering the respiratory tract | Function of the epiglottis |
| The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and bloodstream is called | external respiration |
| The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body cells and the bloodstream is called | internal respiration |
| Fatigue, fever, night sweats, weight loss, hemoptysis, chest pain is symptoms of | (TB) tuberculosis |
| A respiratory disorder usually caused by a sensitivity to an allergen | asthma |
| Inflammation of the bronchi and bronchial rubes is called | bronchitis |
| Any chronic lung disease that results in obstruction of the airways is called | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) |
| A non infectious, chronic respiratory condition that occurs when the walls of the alveoli deteriorate and lose their elasticity is called | emphysema |
| A highly contagious, viral infection of the upper respiratory system is called | influenza (Flu) |
| An inflammation or infection of the lungs characterized by exudate (build up of fluid) in the alveoli is called | pneumonia |
| An inflammation of the larynx and vocal cords is called | laryngitis |
| A disease with a poor prognosis | lung cancer |
| Inflammation of the pleura, or membranes, of the lungs is called | pleurisy |
| Inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the upper respiratory tract is called a/an | upper respiratory infection (URI |
| A disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis is called | tuberculosis (TB) |
| An inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the sinuses is called | sinusitis |
| An inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes is called | rhinitis |
| How many minutes of oxygen supply does the body have | 4-6 minutes |
| The nasal septum divides the nose into two hollow spaces called | nasal cavities |
| The nasal cavities are lined with a substance that has a rich blood supply, what is it called | a mucous membrane |
| The largest layer of cartilage on the larynx, the thyroid cartilage, is commonly called | the Adam's apple. |
| A series of C-shaped cartilages, open on what surfaces to help keep the trachea open | dorsal or back surfaces |
| Alveoli are made of one layer of what kind of tissue that contains a rich network of blood capillaries | squamous epithelial |
| During expiration, the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles | relax |
| The process of respiration is controlled by the respiratory center in what area of the brain | medulla oblongata |
| An increased amount of carbon dioxide in the blood causes the rate of inspirations to | increase |
| To stop a nose bleed, compress the nostrils and tilt the head | slightly forward |
| Most upper respiratory infections that are also highly contagious are caused by a | virus |
| Treatment methods for COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is | bronchodilators, cough medications, and mucolytics |
| They are lined with a mucous membrane, provide resonance for the voice and warm and moisten air. | Sinuses |
| An inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane, resulting in a runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing and congestion is called | rhinitis |
| The membrane or sac that encloses each lung is a | pleura |
| The insertion of a tube into the lung to aid breathing is called a | thoracentesis |
| A CPAP mask is mainly used for the disorder known as | sleep apnea |
| Symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) are | fatigue, fever, night sweats, weight loss, hemoptysis, and chest pain |
| What is the main cause of emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer | smoking |
| Caused by a blockage in the air passage that occurs when the muscles that keep the airway open relax and allow the tongue and palate to block the airway | sleep apnea |
| Caused by a disorder in the brain's respiratory control center | central sleep apnea |
| The nose has two openings called | nostrils or nares |
| The larynx contains two folds, called | vocal cords |
