Question
Answer
vertebral column   show
🗑
show provides the points of attachment for numerous muscles by means of various processes; houses the spinal cord, with spinal nerves emerging and entering the spinal cord through spaces between the vertebrae  
🗑
Five divisions of the vertebral column   show
🗑
show part of bony thorax; located at the base of the vertebral column; structure that attaches legs to the vertebral column  
🗑
show part of bony thorax; permits attachment of upper extremities to the vertebra column; comprised of the scapula and clavicle  
🗑
show part of pectoral girdle (which is part of bony thorax); shoulder blade  
🗑
show also, “collarbone,” part of pectoral girdle (which is part of bony thorax); provides the anterior support for the shoulder  
🗑
sternum   show
🗑
show comprised of the pectoral girdle (scapula and clavicle), the sternum, the ribs and their attachments to the vertebral column, and the pelvic girdle; the cavity in which the lungs are located  
🗑
show part of visceral thorax; provides communication between the external and internal environments; part of the bronchial passageway  
🗑
carina   show
🗑
show a long collapsed tube running behind and adjacent to the trachea; provides the conduit to the digestive system  
🗑
esophagus   show
🗑
show characterized by increasingly smaller tubes as one progresses into the depths of the lungs  
🗑
terminal bronchiole   show
🗑
show minute air sacs located deep within the lungs; where gas exchange happens; characterized by extremely thin membrane which is permeable to both oxygen and carbon dioxide given proper circumstances  
🗑
alveolus   show
🗑
show produced by some cells; a substance which reduces the surface tension to keep the alveoli from collapsing during respiration  
🗑
show provides a mechanism for translating the force of thorax enlargement into inspiration  
🗑
show visceral (covering the lungs) and parietal (covering other structures)  
🗑
Types of parietal pleurae   show
🗑
pleurisy   show
🗑
show primary muscle of respiration; takes the form of an inverted bowl; striated muscles; has attachments along the lower margin of the rib cage, sternum, and vertebral column  
🗑
abdominal aponeurosis   show
🗑
