Review of the Respiratory System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Main function of the respiratory system is to bring _____into the body and eliminate _____ from the body. | O2 and CO2 |
| 5 Functions of the respiratory system | Gas Exchange, Voice Production, Body Temperature Regulation, Acid - Base balance, Sense of Smell |
| The more CO2 in the blood, the more ____ the blood will be. | Acidic |
| The part of the respiratory system commonly called the "voice box" is the: | Larynx |
| What structure of the respiratory tract acts like a "trapdoor" to cover the Glottis so swallowed material doesn't go into the Larynx? | Epiglottis |
| During physical activity, what happens to the Bronchi to allow more air to be moved back and forth with each breath? | Bronchodilation |
| Tiny sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs: | Alveoli |
| Membrane that covers the organs and structures of the Thoracic cavity: | Visceral Pleura |
| Thin sheets of muscle that divides the Thoracic and Abdominal cavities is the: | Diaphragm |
| Amount of air remaining in the lungs after expiration is the: | Residual Volume |
| Condition where the space between the ends of the C-shaped tracheal rings is larger than normal results in: | Tracheal Collapse |
| What causes asthma in animals | Exposure to allergic irritants in the air |
| A protective reflex stimulated by irritation to the Trachea or Bronchi is a: | Cough |
| If the CO2 of the blood increases, the Respiratory system will: | Increase rate of respiration to remove excess CO2 |
| Process of drawing air into the lungs is called: | Inspiration |
| In the caudal part of the Pharynx, where is the respiratory tract located in comparison to the digestive tract? | Ventrally located |
| Structure lying between the lungs that divides the Thoracic cavity into left and right halves. | Mediastinum |
| What is placed into the trachea to provide an open airway for administration of inhalant anesthesia or for artificial ventilation? | Endotracheal Tube |
| Three causes of aspiration pneumonia: | Anesthesia - loss of swallow reflex, Ingesting liquid too quickly to swallow, Vomiting |
| Why are lower respiratory infections more serious than upper respiratory tract infections? | Deeper tissues - Harder to cough up liquid built up in the alveoli - causes interference with O2 and CO2 exchange. |
| List the lobes of the left lung: | Cranial and Caudal |
| List the lobes of the right lung: | Cranial, Middle, Caudal and Accessory |
| Structure of Larynx responsible for sound production: | Vocal Cords |
| Divides right and left nasal passages: | Nasal Septum |
| External openings of the nose | Nares |
| List the structures air flows into the respiratory tract in order: | 1.Nasal Cavity 2.Pharynx 3.Larynx 4.Trachea 5.Bronchial Tree 6. Alveoli |
| Term for sense of smell: | Olfaction |
| Mechanical Breathing | Starts the normal rhythmic breathing pattern through stretch receptors in the lungs |
| Chemical Breathing | Adjusted by chemical receptors when CO2, PH, or O2 content of the blood varies outside normal limits. |
| Term for voice production: | Phonation |
| Scroll-like bones filling the nasal passages: | Turbinates |
| Outpouchings of the nasal passages that are contained within the spaces of certain bones: | Paranasal Sinuses |
| Where the trachea divides into two bronchi: | Bifurcation of the Trachea |
| Area of thorax between the lungs that contains the trachea, esophagus, and blood vessels: | Mediastinum |
| Bronchi divide into smaller: | Bronchiole |
| Two Cartilages of the larynx to which the vocal cords attach: | Arytenoid cartilages |
| A cluster of alveoli at the end of an alveolar duct. It is shaped like a bunch of grapes. | Alveolar Sacs |
| Animal whose lungs are not divided into lobes: | Horse |
| Small area on medial surface of each lung where Bronchi, blood vessels and nerves enter, only spot of the lung that is attached to the rest of the body: | Hilus |
| Lines the Thoracic Cavity: | Parietal Pleura |
| Covers the Thoracic organs and structures: | Visceral Pleura |
| Process of pushing air out of the lungs: | Expiration |
| Volume of air inhaled and exhaled during one breath: | Tidal Volume |
| Instrument with battery-containing handle to which a long narrow blade with small light source near the end of it: | Laryngoscope |
| Spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm accompanied by sudden closure of glottis: | Hiccups |
