Question
Answer
pleur-   chest lining  
🗑
pneum-, pulm-   lungs  
🗑
thora-   chest  
🗑
trache-   windpipe  
🗑
principal organs of the respiratory system in mammals   nose, nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs  
🗑
upper respiratory tract   the airway from the nose through the pharynx and larynx  
🗑
lower respiratory tract   airway from the trachea through the lungs, includes the various bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli  
🗑
conductive zone   acts to transport air, includes the nose through the conducting bronchioles, ending with the terminal bronchioles  
🗑
respiratory zone   represents the region where gas exchange occurs and includes the respiratory bronchioles and alveoli  
🗑
where does gas exchange in birds occur   air capillaries  
🗑
functions of the upper respiratory system   filter, heat, humidify  
🗑
tidal volume   volume of air moving in and out during respiration  
🗑
minute respiratory volume   tidal volume times respiration rate  
🗑
resting tidal volume   volume of air moving in and out during respiration when at rest  
🗑
vital capacity   maximum volume of air inspired after maximum expiration  
🗑
residual volume   the air that remains in the airways after maximal forced expiration, and thus cannot be removed  
🗑
total lung capacity   the sum of vital capacity and residual volume  
🗑
components of the conductive zone   trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, conducting bronchioles, terminal bronchioles  
🗑
components of the respiratory zone   respiratory bronchioles, alveoli  
🗑
inspiration in mammals   muscles contract, lung volume increases, active due to muscle contraction  
🗑
expiration in mammals   muscles relax, volume decreases, passive (occurs when muscles relax)  
🗑
air spaces in avian respiratory system   cervical air sacs (2), clavicular air sac (1), cranial thoracic air sacs (2), caudal thoracic air sacs (2), abdominal air sacs (2), lungs (2)  
🗑
avian respiratory system components   trachea, bronchi/mesobronchi (primary), ventral bronchi (secondary), dorsal bronchi (secondary), parabronchi (tertiary), air capillaries  
🗑
pathway of air through the avian system   trachea, mesobronchi, dorsobronchi, parabronchi, air cappillaries, parabronchi, ventrobronchi, mesobronchi, trachea  
🗑
pulmonary surfactant   lowers surface tension between alveolar membranes preventing the alveoli from collapsing  
🗑
type of system in avians   open  
🗑
lungs expand in avians?   no  
🗑
in avians gas exchange occurs in   air capillaries  
🗑
inspiration in avians   active  
🗑
expiration in avians   active  
🗑
where pulmonary surfactant produced in avians   laminated osmiophillic bodies  
🗑
when pulmonary surfactant produced in avians   day 18  
🗑
type of system in mammals   closed  
🗑
lungs expand in mammals?   yes  
🗑
in mammals gas exchange occurs in   alveoli  
🗑
inspiration in mammals   active  
🗑
expiration in mammals   passive  
🗑
where pulmonary surfactant produced in mammals   type II alveolar cells  
🗑
when pulmonary surfactant produced in mammals   late pregnancy  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
