🗑
Aortic Bodies   One of several small clusters of chemoreceptors, baroreceptors, and supporting cells located along the aortic arch.  
🗑
Bicarbonate ions   HCO3−  
🗑
Bronchi   Two main branches of the trachea that go into the lungs  
🗑
Bronchioles   Smaller tubes that leads to the alveoli  
🗑
Carbaminohemoglobin   A compound of hemoglobin and carbon dioxide, 10% of carbon dioxide is carried in blood this way  
🗑
Carbon Dioxide   A chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms linked to a single carbon atom; waste product of cellular respiration  
🗑
Carbonic Anhydrase   An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of dissolved bicarbonates and carbon dioxide  
🗑
Carotid Bodies   A small mass of receptors in the carotid artery sensitive to chemical change in the blood.  
🗑
Cilia   A short, microscopic, hairlike vibrating structure  
🗑

🗑
Exhalation   The process or action of exhaling  
🗑
External Respiration   Exchange of gases at the alveoli  
🗑
Inhalation   The action of taking in O2  
🗑
Internal respiration   Exchange of gases at the tissues  
🗑
Larynx   The hollow muscular organ forming an air passage to the lungs; the voice box  
🗑
Oxyhemoglobin   A bright red substance formed by the combination of hemoglobin with oxygen, present in oxygenated blood  
🗑
Pharynx   The membrane-lined cavity behind the nose and mouth, connecting them to the esophagus.  
🗑
Pleural membranes   The pleural cavity is the potential space between the two pleurae of the lungs.  
🗑
Reduced Hemoglobin   A combination of hemoglobin and a hydrogen ion  
🗑
Respiratory centre   Medulla oblongata; senses O2 and CO2 levels in the blood  
🗑
Stretch receptors   Receptor's that are sensitive to elongation; found in the alveoli  
🗑
Thoracic Cavity   the cavity in the vertebrate body enclosed by the ribs between the diaphragm and the neck  
🗑
Trachea   A large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial tubes  
🗑
