Question
Answer
alveoli   air sacs at the end of the bronchioles -surrounded by capillaries that allow oxygen and CO2 to be exchanged between the blood and lungs  
🗑
Hyperpnea   Increased rate and depth of breathing  
🗑
Hypoxia   Decreased amounts of oxygen to tissues  
🗑
Trachea   -windpipe -carries air from the pharynx to the bronchi -subdivides into two bronchi, each entering one lung  
🗑
larynx   -voice box -contains vocal cords  
🗑
Nasopharynx   -upper portion of larynx -contains pharyngeal tonsils(adenoids) -located behind the nose  
🗑
Oropharynx   -middle portion of pharynx -contains the palatine tonsils -located behind the mouth  
🗑
Epiglottis   flap of cartilage that covers the larynx to prevent aspiration  
🗑
cellular respiration   the use of oxygen and nutrients to produce energy, water, CO2, and heat  
🗑
Epistaxis   nosebleed  
🗑
dyspnea   painful or difficult breathing  
🗑
Bronchioles   smallest subdivision of the bronchi  
🗑
Tachypnea   rapid shallow breathing  
🗑
asthma   obstruction of the bronchiole S&S:-coughing -wheezing -dyspnea RX:-bronchodilator -anti-inflammatory -oxygen  
🗑
function of the nose   warm, filter, and moisten air passing through  
🗑
nasal septum   seperates the nasal cavities  
🗑
respitory system   to take in oxygen needed for body cells and remove CO2  
🗑
internal respiration   exchange of oxygen and CO2 between the blood and body cells  
🗑
external respiration   exchange of oxygen and CO2 between the blood in capillaries surrounding alveoli  
🗑
diaphragm   major muscle of respiration -divides the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity  
🗑
ventilation   the process of breathing inspiration: taking in air expiration: when air is forced out of the lungs  
🗑
lungs   right lung contains 3 lobes left lung contains 2 lobes  
🗑
pleura   serous membrane that covers the lungs to prevent friction when lungs expand and contract  
🗑
sinuses   cavities in the skull that warm and moisten air and provide resonance to the voice  
🗑
pharynx   (the throat) divided into three portions upper portion is the nasopharynx middle portion is the oropharynx lowest portion is the laryngopharynx  
🗑
