Definition
Term
throat   pharynx  
🗑
voice box   larynx  
🗑
"The Guardian of the Airway", it protects the superior opening of the larynx   epiglottis  
🗑
windpipe   trachea  
🗑
right and left, are formed by the division of the trachea   main bronchi  
🗑
the smallest of the conducting passageways   bronchioles  
🗑
small air sacs at the end of the bronchioles   alveoli  
🗑
3 lobes   right lung  
🗑
2 lobes   left lung  
🗑
bone supported palate that separates the nasal and oral cavities   hard palate  
🗑
unsupported palate that separates the nasal and oral cavities   soft palate  
🗑
superior portion of the pharynx where air enters from the nose   nasopharynx  
🗑
the middle portion of the pharynx where air and food moves downward   oropharynx  
🗑
inferior portion of the pharynx where air and food moves downward   laryngopharynx  
🗑
the adenoids that are located high in the nasopharynx   pharyngeal tonsil  
🗑

🗑

🗑
inward folds on the lungs that divide lobes   fissure  
🗑
fluid that covers the surface of each lung   visceral pleura  
🗑
lines the walls of the thoracic cavity with a fluid   parietal pleura  
🗑
4 events of respiration   1. pulmonary ventilation 2. external respiration 3. respiratory gas exchange 4. internal respiration  
🗑
pulmonary ventilation   air must move into and out of the lungs so that gases in the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs are continuously refreshed. The process of pulmonary ventilation is commonly called breathing  
🗑
external respiration   gas exchange (oxygen leading and carbon dioxide unloading) between the pulmonary blood and alveoli must take place. Remember that in external respiration, gas exchanges are being made between the blood and the body exterior  
🗑
respiratory gas exchange   oxygen and carbon dioxide must be transported to and from the lungs and tissue cells of the body via the bloodstream  
🗑
internal respiration   at systemic capillaries, gas exchanges must be made between the blood and tissue cell. In internal respirations, gas exchanges are occurring between the blood and cells inside the body  
🗑
