Question
Answer
What are the 4 main events of respiration?   show
🗑
Name the respiratory zone structures   show
🗑
show Site of gas exchange  
🗑
Name the conducting zone structures.   show
🗑
show nose, external nares, internal nares, middle meatus, pharynx, nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharnyx, larynx, epiglottis, glottis, vocal folds, trachea, carina, primary bronci  
🗑
List the bones and cartilages contributing to the framework of the nose.   show
🗑
Air enters the nasal cavities of the resp system through the_____?   show
🗑
show nasal septum  
🗑
The nasal cavity's major functions are to_____?   show
🗑
Mucous membrane-lined cavities called___are found in several bones surrounding the nasal cavity.   show
🗑
show speech  
🗑
The ___, is often referred to as the throat; it connects the nasal cavities with the___below.   show
🗑
Clusters of lymphatic tissue, that are part of the defensive system of the body.   show
🗑
What are the 3 functions of the larynx?   show
🗑
show arytenoid cartilages  
🗑
What type of cartilage forms the epiglottis?   show
🗑
show hyaline  
🗑
show The epiglottis must be flexible to be able to flap over the glottis during swallowing, and the more rigid hyaline cartilages support the walls of the larynx.

🗑
Separates the oral and nasal cavities   show
🗑
show phrenic nerve  
🗑
show esophagus  
🗑

🗑
show trachea  
🗑

🗑
show parietal pleura  
🗑
show vagus nerve  
🗑

🗑
The tenser the vocal cords the ______pitch   show
🗑
show wider  
🗑
The greater the force of air rushing past the vocal cords, the_____the sound produced.   show
🗑
Inflammation of the vocal cords is called_____   show
🗑
show they prevent the trachea from collapsing during the pressure changes occurring during breathing  
🗑
show Alllows the esophagus to expand anteriorly when we swallow food or fluids.  
🗑
show it constricts the tracheal lumen, causing air to be expelled with more force- coughing, yelling.  
🗑

The bulk of the alveolar walls are made up of squamous epithelial cells called___cells.   show
🗑
show gas exchange  
🗑
The cuboidal cells of the alveoli, called___cells, are much less numerous.   show

🗑
show Decrease the surface tension  
🗑
show Bronchial  
🗑
