Question
Answer
from superior to inferior the three regions of the pharynx are the   naso-, oro-, laryngo-  
🗑
which tonsil sits at the base of the tongue   lingual  
🗑
what part of the respiratory system routes air and food into their proper channels and plays a role in speech   larynx  
🗑
what flap of elastic cartilage protects the superior opening of the larynx   epiglottis  
🗑
when breathing in, air enters the larynx through an opening called the   glottis  
🗑
which tissue forms the C- shaped rings that reinforce the trachea   hyaline cartilage  
🗑
the primary purpose for a tracheostomy would be to allow the patient to   breathe  
🗑
damage to the larynx can cause an inability to   speak  
🗑
the serous membrane that surrounds each lung is created by a parietal and visceral   pleura  
🗑
which passageways branch off of the inferior end of the trachea   bronchi  
🗑
what are the smallest conducting passageways of the lungs that lead into the alveoli   bronchioles  
🗑
which zone includes the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli and is where gas exchange occurs   respiratory zone  
🗑
the process of moving air into and out of the lungs is commonly called breathing or   pulmonary ventilation  
🗑
which two variables dictate the mechanics of breathing   pressure, volume  
🗑
which inspiratory muscle contract so we can inspire air   diaphragm, external intercostals  
🗑
______ volume is the air moved into and out of the lungs during normal quiet breathing and is approximately 500 ml of air   tidal  
🗑
which of the following respiratory volumes is the largest   vital capacity  
🗑
what nonrespiratory air movement is intended to ventilate all alveoli   yawn  
🗑
in the pulmonary circuit which gas diffuses from the blood of the pulmonary capillaries into the alveoli to be exhaled   carbon dioxide  
🗑
what odorless colorless gas binds preferentially with the same binding site on hemoglobin as   carbon monoxide  
🗑
the normal respiratory rate of 12-15 breaths per minute is known as   eupnea  
🗑
the respiratory conducting passageways perform all of the following functions except   exchange gases  
🗑
what sweeps contaminated mucus from the nasal cavity to the throat   cilia  
🗑
what is the role of mucus in the nasal cavity   trap incoming bacteria and other foreign debris  
🗑
the correct pathway air flows through the respiratory system is   nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, main bronchi  
🗑
in rare cases of vocal cord paralysis the vocal cords will not be able to move. this can impair   speaking  
🗑
the major function of the respiratory system is to   supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide  
🗑
which nonrespiratory air movement clears the upper respiratory passageways   sneezing  
🗑
hypoventilation dramatically increases carbonic acid concentration and involves   extremely slow breathing  
🗑
which respiratory disease in which suffers are often called "pink puffers " is characterized by enlarged alveoli, lung inflammation and fibrosis of the lungs   emphysema  
🗑
what accounts for the majority of cases of lung cancer   adenocarcinoma  
🗑
what is the most common cause for lung cancer   smoking  
🗑
the respiratory rate in newborns is   40- 80 rpm  
🗑
parents of healthy newborns are encouraged to place their babies on their backs to sleep to avoid    
🗑
chronically inflamed, hypersensitive bronchial passages that respond to many irritants are characteristic of   asthma  
🗑
