QuestionAnswer
List the airflow path from nose to the blood. Nose---Pharynx---Larynx---Trachea---Bronchi---Bronchioles---Alveoli---blood
Which structures are part of the Upper Respiratory Tract? Nose, Pharynx, Larynx
Which structures are part of the Lower Respiratory Tract? Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveoli
Which Respiratory Structure... creates your voice sounds? larynx
Which Respiratory Structure... greatly increases the surface area for the transfer of oxygen? alveoli sacs
Which Respiratory Structure... warms the air entering your body? nose
Which Respiratory Structure... carries the air from the larynx to your bronchi? trachea
Which Respiratory Structure... has cartilage around it? trachea and larynx
Which Respiratory Structure... is where oxygen enters the blood? alveoli
Which Respiratory Structure... filters and traps debris and bacteria? nose and trachea
Which Respiratory Structure... has several sets of tonsils? pharynx
Which Respiratory Structure... are short tubes where oxygen first enters the lungs? bronchus Right and Left Bronchi
Which Respiratory Structure... is the many branching tubes inside the lungs? bronchioles
What 2 purposes does the cartilage around the trachea have? protection for the vocal chords keep the airway open
Epiglottis flap of tissue that closes off the airway when we swallow
glottis the OPENING for airflow in the larynx between the vocal chords
respiratory membrane the junction of the thin alveoli sacs and the thin capillary O2 and CO2 goes across
pleura fluid filled sac that surrounds each lung
Characteristics of the Respiratory Tract... inside layer mucosa---same as digestive
Characteristics of the Respiratory Tract... second connective layer submucosa---same as digestive
Characteristics of the Respiratory Tract... third (thickest) layer cartilage---different than digestive which is muscularis
Characteristics of the Respiratory Tract... covering layer adventitia---different than digestive which is serosa
Characteristics of the Respiratory Tract... how does it increase the surface area? alveoli sacs---different than digestive which is villi
Characteristics of the Respiratory Tract... absorbs? oxygen---different than digestive which is food
Characteristics of the Respiratory Tract... gets rid of? CO2---different than digestive which is food waste
How many times a minute do you breathe? 12-15 every 5 seconds
Why is the left lung smaller? 2 lobes instead of 3 so the heart can fit in
Boyle's Law states INCREASED volume means... Explains how we breathe... DECREASED pressure. in or inhale.
Boyle's Law states DECREASED volume means... Explains how we breath... INCREASED pressure. out or exhale.
What does a relaxed diaphragm in the thoracic cavity look like? an arch or upside down U
What does a contracted diaphragm in the thoracic cavity look like? flat
What other muscles besides the diaphragm helps us breathe? RIB muscles = intercostals
The part of the brainstem that controls respiration is called the... medulla
What chemical when we have too much stimulates breathing? CO2
What chemical when we have too little stimulates breathing? O2
500 ml of air in and out of lungs Tidal Volume
Amount of air we can INSPIRE after a normal breath? INSPIRATORY VOLUME
Amount of air we can EXPIRE after a normal breath? EXPIRATORY VOLUME
Amount of air always in the lungs? RESIDUAL VOLUME
Instrument used to evaluate lung capacity? spirometer
What is Vital Capacity? maximum amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a maximum inhalation
What is the formula for Vital Capacity? Tidal Volume + Inspiratory Volume + Expiratory Volume = 4800 ml
What gas moves between the lungs and blood during EXTERNAL RESPIRATION? INTO blood from lungs? O2
What gas moves between the lungs and blood during EXTERNAL RESPIRATION? OUT of blood into lungs? CO2
What gas moves between blood and cells during INTERNAL RESPIRATION? INTO cells from blood? O2
What gas moves between blood and cells during INTERNAL RESPIRATION? OUT of cells into the blood? CO2
The suffix "itis" means... infection or inflammation
What disease? alveoli destroyed emphysema
What disease? bacteria infection causing fluid build up in the lungs pneumonia
What disease? bacteria infection causing hard scars in lungs tuberculosis
What disease? bronchial tree becomes irritated and narrowed asthma
What disease? abnormal tissue growths in lung due to smoking lung cancer
What is EXTERNAL RESPIRATION? moving gases (O2 and CO2) between... the lungs and blood
What is INTERNAL RESPIRATION? moving gases (O2 and CO2) between... the blood and cells
