respiratory flash cards

QuestionAnswer
exchange of gases between a person's external environoment and the body's internal cells respiration
functions of the respiratory stystem oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange, acid-base balance, protection
most of the carbon dioxide transported in the blood is carried as biacarbonate ion
what flattens during inhalation diaphragm
the lower most portion of the pharynx is the larngeal pharynx
the space between the vocal cords glottis
the portion of the plasma that is attached to the chest wall is the parietal pleura
the enzyme that converts carbon dioxide to bicarbonate ion in RBC's carbonic anhydrase
breathing out carbon dioxide tends to make the blood have more alkaline
amount of air leaving the lungs regularly tidal respiration
the section of the pharnx that extends from the nares to the uvula nasopharynx
the ________ tubes connect the pharynx to the middle ear auditory (eustachiar)
part of the pharynx extending from the uvula to the epiglottis orapharynx
bony projections in the nasal cavities chonchae
the lower respiratory tract contains a smooth layered sac of serous membrane called pleura
the actual movement of air from the external to the internal environement occurs as a result of difference in pressures between the atmosphere and the chest cavity
air goes into the lungs when the ____in the thoracic cavity pressure is below that of the surrounding atmosphere. intrathoracic
scientific name for "nose bleed" epistaxis
normal respiration is called euprea
located between ribs and contracts to life and spread ribs during inhalation adding to the vaccumm intercostal muscles
a low blood level of ____ is the major stimilus for breathing in healthy adults carbon dioxide
three parts of the pharynx nasopharnx, orapharynx, laryngealpharynx
nerve that stimulates the diaphragm phrenic
lippoprotein secreted by special aveola cells that keep aveoli from collapsing surfactant
respiration involes these three steps ventilation, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs and cells, transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide by the blood
ABG arterial blood gas
indented are where each bronchus enters the lungs and branches off hilum
as the trachea enters the chest cavity it divides into two smaller tubes called bronchi
the structure that serves as an air passages between pharynx the trachea layrnx
a small cavity in a bone of the skull sinus
the partion that divides the nasal cavity septum
the space and structure between the lungs mediastinum
the throat pharynx
the region of the brain that contain a respiratory center control medulla oblongata
the space between the vocal cords glottis
a subdivision of the trachea bronchus
a subdivision of the lung lobe
lobes in the right lung 3
lobes in the left lung 2
the term acide fast bacillus (afb) refers to the organism that causes tuberculosis
sudden lack of breathing sleep apnea
lymph nodes int he space between the lungs mediastinum
mechanical process of respiration that moves air fromt he atmosphere to the alveoli ventilation
breathing air in inhalation(inspiration)
breathing air out exhalation (expiration)
adults repirations average _____ bpm 12-20
splitting blood hemoptysis
the ____ palatine tonsils are the ones commonly removed during a tonsileectomy palatine tonsils
their function is to remove foreign substances that are inhaled or ingested palatine tonsils
it is a passage for air only nasopharynx
the respiratory tract consists of the organs in the chest cavity lower trachea,bronchi, aveoli, lungs
upper respiratory tract nose, nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx
external opening of the nose nares
the bronchioles branchgoes into the alveolar ducts
the bonchioles branch ends in the alveolar sacs
the _____ is shorter and wider than the _______ right bonchus, left bronchus
membrane that covers the lungs visceral pleura
membrane that covers the chest wall parietal pleura
small bronchial tube bronchiole
membrane around the lungs pleura
air sac alveolus
main respiratory muscles diaphragm, lungs, external and internal intercostal muscles
accessory muscles of respiration scalene and sternocledomastoid
the voice box larnx
tube between larynx and bronchi trachea
originating in the bronchus bronchogenic
ioron containg protein that carries oxygen in the blood homoglobin
space and structures between the lungs mediastinum
the exchange of the oxygen for carbon dioxide in the aveoli of the lungs is called external respiration
pulmonary respiration external respiration
the exchange of oxygen from the carbon dioxide the cell is called internal respiration
cellular respiration internal respiration
gas exchange at the cellular level cellular respiration
deep slow respirations associated with diabetes mellitus kussmaul
two sets of tonsils orapharynx and palatine tonsils
adam's apple, largest cartilage thyroid cartilage
most important feature of the respiratory system aveoli
lines the bronchial tubes cilli
functional unit of the resp. system aveoli
pressures important in breathing atmospheric, pulmonary pressure
respiratory reflux, lack of oxygen yawning
increases the surface area of the nasal cavities chonchae
flattens out the diaphragm exhalation
cranial nerves for the larynx vagus
the amount of air moved into or out of the lungs in quiet relaxed breathing tidal volume
the volume of air that remains inthe lungs after maximum exhalation residual volume
the volume of air that can be explelled from the lungs by maximum exhalation after maximum inhalation vital capacity
the amount of air remaining in the lungs after normal exhalation functional residual capacity
the total volume of air that can be contained in the lungs after maximum inhaltion total lung capacity

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
