|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What is respiration? | the sequence of events that results in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the body cells
🗑
|
||||
| What is external respiration? | the exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood
🗑
|
||||
| What is internal respiration? | the exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells
🗑
|
||||
| What is cellular respiration? | when the cells use oxygen for their specific activity; also called cellular metabolism
🗑
|
||||
| What is another term for breathing? | Pulmonary ventilation
🗑
|
||||
| What is pulmonary ventilation? | the process of air flowing into the lungs during inspiration (breathing in) and out of the lungs during expiration (breathing out)
🗑
|
||||
| What is atmospheric pressure? | pressure of the air outside the body
🗑
|
||||
| What is intra-alveolar pressure? | pressure inside the alveoli of the lungs
🗑
|
||||
| What is intrapleural pressure? | pressure within the pleural cavity
🗑
|
||||
| What is a breath? | One complete respiratory cycle that consists of one inspiration and one expiration
🗑
|
||||
| What are the respiratory conducting passages divided into? | Upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract
🗑
|
||||
| What makes up the upper respiratory tract? | nose, pharynx, and larynx
🗑
|
||||
| What makes up the lower respiratory tract? | trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs
🗑
|
||||
| What does the framework of the nose consist of? | Bone and cartilage
🗑
|
||||
| What is the pharynx commonly called? | the throat
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Where are the lungs located? | In the thoracic cavity
🗑
|
||||
| What is the texture of lungs? | soft and spongy, because they are mostly air spaces surrounded by the alveolar cells and elastic connective tissue
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Which lung is shorter, broader, and has a greater volume than the other? | the right lung
🗑
|
||||
| What is used to measure respiratory volumes and capacities? | a spirometer
🗑
|
||||
| What are the names of the cavities that open into the nasal cavity? | frontal, maxillary, ethmoidal, and sphenoidal sinuses
🗑
|
||||
| How many lobes does the right lung have? | three
🗑
