🗑
Respiratory Cycle   One inspiration followed by one expiration.  
🗑
Surface Tension   The force that adheres moist membranes due to the attraction of water molecules.  
🗑
Tachypnea   Increased breathing(frequency) but not necessarily an increase in tidal volume.  
🗑
Upper Respiratory Tract   Includes the nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and pharynx.
