Question
Answer
The respiratory system   provides oxygen to body cells for energy  
🗑
Respiration   to transport air into the lungs and to facilitate the diffusion of Oxygen into the blood stream.

🗑
Nasopharynx allows for   air passage  
🗑
Oropharynx & Laryngopharynx allow for   air, food, and drink to pass  
🗑
Larynx   contains the vocal cords, which vibrate as air passes through the space between them (glottis), producing sound  
🗑
The Larynx   Connects the pharynx with the trachea  
🗑
Known as the voice box   larynx  
🗑
The larynx   forms the adam's apple  
🗑
The trachea   extends into the chest and serves as a passageway for air to the bronchi  
🗑
The windpipe   trachea  
🗑
Bronchioles   smallest branches of the bronchi  
🗑
Trachea branches into two tubes called   the bronchi  
🗑
The bronchioles   are air sacs  
🗑
The Lungs   two cone-shaped, spongy organs consisting of the alveoli, blood vessels, elastic tissue, and nerves  
🗑
The left lung   has 2 lobes  
🗑
Right Lung   has 3 lobes  
🗑
Apex   uppermost part of lung  
🗑
Base   lower part of lung  
🗑
Hilum   portion in midline region of the lung where blood vessels, nerves, and bronchial tubes enter and exit the lungs  
🗑
Pleura   double-folded membrane that surrounds the lungs  
🗑
Parietal Pleura   outer layer of pleura, which lines thoracic cavity  
🗑
Visceral Pleura   inner layer of pleura, which covers lungs  
🗑
Pleural Space   small space between the pleural membranes  
🗑
Inhalation equals   inspiration  
🗑
Eupnea   normal breathing  
🗑
Apnea   without breathing  
🗑
Dyspnea   difficult breathing  
🗑
Inspection   visual examination of the external surface of the body as well as of its movements and posture  
🗑
Palpation   process of examining, by application of the hands or fingers to the external surface of the body, to detect evidence of disease or abnormalities in the various organs  
🗑
Auscultation   process of listening for sounds within the body, usually to the sounds of the thoracic or abdominal viscera, to detect some abnormal condition, or to detect fetal heart sounds  
🗑
Percussion   use of the fingertips to tap the body lightly but sharply to determine the position, size, and consistency of an underlying structure and the presence of fluid or pus in a cavity  
🗑
Bradypnea   abnormally slow breathing  
🗑
Hyperpnea   increased rate & depth of breathing in response to exercise, pain  
🗑
Orthopnea   dyspnea that occurs when a person is lying down  
🗑
Cough   Forceful and sometimes violent expiratory effort preceded by a preliminary inspiration  
🗑
Nonproductive cough   dry cough  
🗑
Productive cough   wet cough  
🗑
Cyanosis   slightly bluish, grayish, slatelike, or dark discoloration of the skin due to the presence of abnormal amounts of reduced hemoglobin in the blood  
🗑
Dysphonia   difficulty in speaking  
🗑
Epistaxis   nosebleed  
🗑
Expectoration   act of spitting out saliva or coughing up materials from the air passageways leading to the lungs  
🗑
Hemoptysis   expectoration of blood arising from the oral cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchi, or lungs  
🗑
Hypercapnia   increased amount of carbon dioxide in the blood  
🗑
Hypoxemia   Insufficient oxygenation of the blood  
🗑
Hypoxia   Deficiency of oxygen  
🗑
Kussmaul respirations   very deep, gasping type of respiration usually associated with severe diabetic acidosis  
🗑
Rales   abnormal sound heard on auscultation of the chest, produced by passage of air through bronchi that contain secretion or exudate or that are constricted by spasm or a thickening of their walls  
🗑
Pleural Rub   friction rub caused by inflammation of the pleural space; noted on auscultation  
🗑
Rhinorrhea   thin, watery discharge from the nose  
🗑
Rhonchi   rattlings in the throat, produced by the passage of air through obstructed airways  
🗑
Sneeze   expelling air forcibly through the nose and mouth by spasmodic contraction of muscles of expiration due to irritation of nasal mucosa
