Hyperpnea Increased rate and depth of breathing
Hypoxia Decreased amounts of oxygen to tissues
Trachea -windpipe -carries air from the pharynx to the bronchi -subdivides into two bronchi, each entering one lung
larynx -voice box -contains vocal cords
Nasopharynx -upper portion of larynx -contains pharyngeal tonsils(adenoids) -located behind the nose
Oropharynx -middle portion of pharynx -contains the palatine tonsils -located behind the mouth

cellular respiration the use of oxygen and nutrients to produce energy, water, CO2, and heat
Epistaxis nosebleed
dyspnea painful or difficult breathing

nasal septum seperates the nasal cavities
respitory system to take in oxygen needed for body cells and remove CO2
internal respiration exchange of oxygen and CO2 between the blood and body cells
external respiration exchange of oxygen and CO2 between the blood in capillaries surrounding alveoli
diaphragm major muscle of respiration -divides the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity
ventilation the process of breathing inspiration: taking in air expiration: when air is forced out of the lungs
lungs right lung contains 3 lobes left lung contains 2 lobes
pleura serous membrane that covers the lungs to prevent friction when lungs expand and contract
