Question
Answer
the _________________is responsible for exchanging atmospheric gases with those in the body's internal environment.   respiratory system  
🗑
_______________is taken up by the blood to fuel metabolism carried out by all of the body's cells   oxygen  
🗑
carbon dioxide, a metabolic waste, is removed from the cells to keep ________________ from seizing up   metabolism  
🗑
________________is carried out to ensure that atmospheric air comes in contact with the alveoli of the lungs   ventilation  
🗑
the _____________are the site of gaas diffusion   alveoli  
🗑
diffusion can only take place if the partial pressure of each gas is at the appropriate ratio to diffuse ______________ into the blood from teh lungs and carbon dioxide out of the blood into the lungs   oxygen  
🗑
____________diseases either affect the flow of air through the airways to the lungs, or they are caused by deterioration of the alveoli.   lung  
🗑
some lung disorders block or degrade the _______________lining, preventing the diffusion of gases.   alveolar  
🗑
certain lifestlye habits ______________the chances of lung diseases.   increase  
🗑
aging mostly affects lung _____________ and contributes to diseases that impair the airways.   elasticity  
🗑
______________infections and pollution contribute to lung aging.   microbial  
🗑
diseases of the ________________system also affect the respiratory system.   cardiovascular  
🗑
the respiratory system provides cells with the gas exchange needed for _________________   metabolism  
🗑
breathing, or _________________ brings air into the respiatory system   ventilation  
🗑
gases are exchanged between the respiratory system and the blood by _______________   diffusion  
🗑
the respiratory system is composed of the nose, __________________, paranasal sinuses, ________________, larynx, ______________, bronchial tree and lungs   nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea  
🗑
___________is cleaned and moistened in the nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and pharynx   air  
🗑
the nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and pharynx make up the ______________respiratory system   upper  
🗑
the larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs make up the _____________respiratory system   lower  
🗑
the _______________regulates coughing and separated the air and food parthways   larynx  
🗑
the _______________and _________________ direct air to the lungs   trachea, bronchial tree  
🗑
________________regulate the flow of air to lobules in the lungs   bronchioles  
🗑
______________are pockets of alveoli and blood vessels   lubules  
🗑
diffusion of gases takes place on the walls of the ________________   alveoli  
🗑
_______________is due to the action of the muscles and bones of the thorax   breathing  
🗑
the ________________ and ________________nervous systems control breathing   autonomic, somatic  
🗑
inspration is due to contraction of the _______________and expansion of the _________   diaphragm, rib cage  
🗑
________________is due to relaxation of the diaphragm and external contraction of intercostal muscles   expiration  
🗑
alveoli expand and fill with air upon ______________   inspiration  
🗑
the _________________of gases in the air determines the direction of diffusion during breathing   partial pressure  
🗑
diseases of the respiratory system are ________________ or ________________   developmental, infectious  
🗑
_________________diseases are sue to genetic conditions or life style factors   developmental  
🗑
developmental diseases affect the ___________ of the alveoli   airways  
🗑
microorganisms cause ______________ diseases   infectious  
🗑
most __________________cause disease specific to only the upper respiratory system or only the lower respiratory system   microorganisms  
🗑
some aging is due to _________ and __________ on the body   wear, tear  
🗑
_______________plays a significant role in respiratory system aging   lifestyle  
🗑
aging reduces the ability to carry out _______________ and _________________   inspiration, expiration  
🗑
_________________reduces the diffusion of gases acroos the alveoli   aging  
🗑
aging of the respiratory system can be measured as different aspects of _____________________   breathing capacity  
🗑
much of the respiratory system is lined with __________________   mucous membrane  
🗑
the respiratory system develops from the embryonic ______________ system   digestive  
🗑
the shpae of the bronchial tree is supported by _________________   cartilage rings  
🗑
in the respiratory tree, the _____________ has the smallest diameter   bronchiole  
🗑
in the respiratory system, gas exchange takes place in the ________________   alveolus  
🗑
