Question
Answer
What is the major role of the respiratory system?   Supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide  
🗑
True or False Four processes-pulmonary ventilation, external ventilation, cellular respiration and internal respiration-must occur in order for the respiratory system to function fully   True  
🗑
What is the largest and most prominent of the laryngeal cartilages?   Thyroid cartilage  
🗑
True or False The epiglottis forms a lid over the larynx when we swallow food: it closes off the respiratory passageway to incoming food or drink   True  
🗑
Air flows from the larynx to the trachea and then enters what?   right and left main bronchi  
🗑
What is the lining of the trachea called that propels dust particles, bacteria and other debris away from the lungs?   columnar epithelium. THE CILIA ARE WHAT PROPELS - ON THE PSEUDOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM.  
🗑
_____________, tiny balloon like structures, are composed of a single thin layer of squamous epithelium. They are the main structural and functional units of the lung and actual sites of gas exchange.   Alveoli  
🗑
Why is it important that the human trachea is reinforced with cartilaginous rings   To maintain its open passageway regardless of the pressure changes that occur during breathing.  
🗑
Why is it important that the rings are incomplete posteriorly?   Allows the esophagus to expand outward when a large bolus is swallowed  
🗑
Name 3 functions of nasal conchae?   warms, filters and moisturizes air  
🗑
Trace a molecule of oxygen from the nostrils to the pulmonary capillaries of the lungs   nostrils > nasal cavity > pharynx > larynx > trachea > NAME THEM: MAIN BRONCHUS, LOBAR BRONCHUS, SEGMENTAL BRONCHUS THEN TO BRONCHIOLE.....bronchus > bronchi > bronchiole > alveolar duct > alveolar sac > alveolar capillary wall > blood  
🗑

🗑
What nerve activates the diaphragm during inspiration?   phrenic nerve  
🗑
What is the name of the pleural layer lining the wall of the thorax?   Parietal pleura  
🗑
The common passageway for both air and food   pharynx  
🗑
food passage way posterior to trachea   esophagus  
🗑
What portions of the respiratory system are referred to as anatomical dead space?   all but the respiratory zone structures. SPECIFICALLY - TRACHEA, AND ALL BRONCHI AND ALL BRONCHIOLES UNTIL YOU GET TO RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLES.  
🗑
What additional dead space occurs in emphysema   it destroys alveolar tissue and increases dead space volume BECAUSE THE CENTER OF THE ENLARGED ALVEOLI NO LONGER IN CONTACT WITH CAPILLARIES.  
🗑
How many lobes does the right lung have?   3  
🗑
How many lobes does the left lung have?   2
