        Help!  

Question
Answer
Passages of both divisions that carry air to and from the gas exchange surfaces of the lungs make up the ____   respiratory tract  
🗑
The _____ begins at the entrance to the nasal cavity and extends to bronchioles and a respiratory portion   conducting portion  
🗑
___ respiratory tract filters, warms and humidifies incoming air-portecting the more delicate surfaces of the lower respiratory system and absorbs heat and water from outgoing air   upper  
🗑
_____ respiratory tract conducts air to and form the gas exchange surfaces   lower  
🗑
___ lines the conducting portion of the respiratory tract   respiratory mucosa  
🗑
a pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium with numerous mucous cells lines the ____, ___, ____, bronchi and large bronchi   nasal cavity, superior portion of pharynx, trachea  
🗑
the flow of mucus is often described as a ____   mucus escalator  
🗑
____ is the underlying layer of areolar tissue that supports the respiratory epithelium   lamina propria  
🗑
respiratory mucosa, with mucous cells and mucus escalator, lines the ____ and the ____   nasal cavity, superior portion of the pharynx  
🗑
stratified squamous epithelium lines the _____, protecting the epithelium from abrasion and chemical attack   inferior portions of the pharynx  
🗑
a typical respiratory mucosa lines the conducting portion of the ____   lower reparatory tract  
🗑
in the finer bronchioles, the epithelium becomes ___   cuboidal  
🗑
gas exchange surfaces consist of _____   simple squamous epithelium  
🗑
Which type of epithelium lines the inferior portions of the pharynx?   stratified squamous epithelium  
🗑
to pass from the external nares to the internal nares, air flows between adjacent conchae though the _____   superior middle and inferior meatuses  
🗑
Divides the nasal cavity into left and right portions, formed by the fusion of perpendicular plate of the ethmoid and vomer   nasal septum  
🗑
paranasal sinuses are located where   maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones  
🗑
The nasal cavity opens into the nasopharynx through which structure?   internal nares  
🗑
the ___ conducts air toward the lungs   trachea or windpipe  
🗑
the ____ is the space contained within the flexible tissues of the nose. Its epithelium contains hairs that trap large airborne particles   nasal vestibule  
🗑
inhaled air leaves the pharynx and enters the larynx though a narrow opening called ____   glottis  
🗑
___ cartilaginous structure that surrounds and protects the glottis   larynx  
🗑
lamina propria contains an extensive network of large and highly expandable ___ that can release heat like a radiator. It can cool and dry air in nasal cavity   veins  
🗑
___ folds over glottis during swallowing, preventing liquids and food from entering respiratory tract   epiglottis  
🗑
the prominent anterior surface of the thyroid cartilage, which you can easily feel and see is called __   laryngeal prominence  
🗑
___ has expanded posterior portion that provides support and protects the glottis   cricoid cartilage  
🗑
Which structure(s) function(s) in the opening and closing of the glottis and the production of sound?   corniculate and arytenoid cartilages  
🗑
Which laryngeal cartilage(s) is/are small, long, and curved, and lie(s) within folds of tissue that extend between the lateral surface of each arytenoid cartilage and the epiglottis?   cuneiform cartilages  
🗑
when the glottis is open air passing though vibrates the   vocal folds  
🗑
___ folds help prevent foreign objects from entering the glottis   vestibular folds  
🗑
sound production at the larynx is called ____. However clear speech requires ____ which is the modification of sounds by other structures   phonation, articulation  
🗑
after entering the lung the bronchus divides to form ____, which divides to form ____   secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi  
🗑
each tertiary bronchus branches several times, giving rise to multiple ___   bronchioles  
🗑
___ stiffen tracheal walls and prevent its collapse or over expansion as pressure change   tracheal cartilages  
🗑
contraction of the ____ reduces the diameter of the trachea, increasing resistance to airflow   trachealis muscle  
🗑
most foreign objects that enter the trachea find their way into the ___   right bronchus  
🗑
Each terminal bronchiole supplies which singular structure?   pulmonary lobule  
🗑
___ is a meshwork of dense connective tissue that fixes the positions of the bronchi, major nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics   root of the lung  
🗑
each ____ bronchus supplies air to the bronchopulmonary segment   tertiary bronchus  
🗑
the right lung is divided by the ____ and ___ into three lobes: the superior, middle and inferior lobes   horizontal, oblique fissures  
🗑
left lung is divided by the ____ into only two lobes: the superior and inferior lobes   oblique fissure  
🗑
____ accommodates the pericardial cavity, which sits to the left of the midline   cardiac notch  
🗑
the ___ of the lung is a groove that allows passage of the primary bronchi, pulmonary vessels, nerves, and lymphatics   hilum  
🗑
the conducting and respiratory portions of the respiratory tract are continuous and end in air sacs called ____   alveoli  
🗑
each terminal bronchiole supplies a single __   pulmonary lobule  
🗑
the alveolar epithelium is primarily a ____ epithelium   simple squamous

___scattered among the squamous cells and produce surfactant   Type 2 pneumocytes  
🗑
___ is an oily secretion containing a mixture of phospholipids and proteins that form a superficial coating over a thin layer of water   surfactant  
🗑
the squamous epithelial cells, called ____ are unusually thin and delicate and are the sites of gas diffusion   type 1 pneumocytes  
🗑
gas exchange occurs across the ____ at each alveolus   respiratory membrane  
🗑
the ____ covers the outer surfaces of the lung and the parietal pleura covers the _____ and extends over the diaphragm and mediastinum   visceral pleura, inner surface of the thoracic wall  
🗑
respiratory bronchioles open into regions called ____. It is a common passage that is connected to multiple individual alveoli   alveolar ducts  
🗑
