Question
Answer
external respiration   inhaling air into lungs and exhaling  
🗑
internal respiration   cellular respiration - exchange of gases between blood and tissues  
🗑
nasal cavity   consists of mucous membranes and cilia, incoming air is filtered and warmed  
🗑
paranasal sinuses   air spaces in skull where mucous is produced that helps to lubricate the nasal cavity  
🗑
pharynx   throat  
🗑
nasopharynx   contains adenoids/pharyngeal tonsils  
🗑
oropharynx   contains palatine tonsils (lymphatic tissue)  
🗑
laryngopharynx   handles both food and air, divides into larynx and esophagus  
🗑
larynx   voice box  
🗑
esophagus   carries food to stomach  
🗑
epiglottis   cartilage flap that closes to preven food from entering larynx and trachea  
🗑
glottis   opening to the larynx  
🗑
palatine tonsils   lymphatic tissue at back of the roof of the mouth, or oropharynx  
🗑
pharyngeal tonsils   adenoids in the nasopharynx, upper back wall of the throat  
🗑
trachea   windpipe, tube of cartilage rings which divides into two bronchial tubes  
🗑
bronchi   2 bronchial tubes that the trachea divides into at the mediastinum  
🗑
mediastinum   space of the chest where trachea divides into two bronchi  
🗑
hilum   area where a bronchus, nerves, and blood vessels enter the lung  
🗑
bronchioles   smaller tubes  
🗑
alveoli   air sacs that facilitate the exchange of oxygen  
🗑
pulmonary parenchyma   bronchioles and alveoli  
🗑
3 lobes   right lung  
🗑
2 lobes   left lung  
🗑
pleura   double membrane surrounding lungs  
🗑
visceral pleura   innermost membrane lining the lung  
🗑
parietal pleural   outermost membrane lining of the lung, closest to ribs  
🗑
croup   caused by infection, allergic reactions, or foreign bodies, obstructs passage of air through larynx, causing barking cough and stridor  
🗑
stridor   harsh, high pitched sounds made during respiration  
🗑
rales   crackles, abnormal crackling sounds when fluid, blood, or pus are in alveoli  
🗑
rhonchi   coarse, loud rales caused by secretions in a bronchus  
🗑
epistaxis   nosebleed  
🗑
diptheria   bacterial throat infection  
🗑
pertussis   whooping cough, bacterial throat infectin  
🗑
asthma   bronchial spasms and constriction of the bronchial airways which cause dyspnea, wheezing, and coughing  
🗑
dyspnea   labored breathing  
🗑
bronchiectasis   chronic dilation of bronchial tubes associated with recurring lung infections  
🗑
bronchitis   persistent inflammation of the bronchi  
🗑
bronchogenic carcinoma   malignant tumors in bronchial pathways, can spread rapidly to the lungs  
🗑
cystic fibrosis   inherited disease compromising the function of mucous membranes, causing obstructions (exocrine glands involved)  
🗑
tuberculosis   caused by bacilli, producing obstructions called tubercles  
🗑
tubercles   swellings caused by tuberculosis  
🗑
emphysema   breakdown of alveoli walls through over-inflation causing loss of air exchange  
🗑
pneumoconiosis   chronic condition linked to inhaling dust  
🗑
pneumonia   inflammation and infection of alveoli producing pus, fluid, and other by-products in the lungs  
🗑
anthracosis   black lung disease, caused by inhaling coal dust  
🗑
asbestosis   linked to asbestos fibers  
🗑
silicosis   caused by inhaling silica or glass  
🗑
Grinder's disease   silicosis  
🗑
double pneumonia   both lungs affected  
🗑
atelectasis   collapsed lung or part of a lung, caused by trauma or blockages  
🗑
pulmonary abscess   large collection of pus in lung caused by bacterial infection  
🗑
pulmonary edema   swelling or buildup of fluids in bronchioles and alveoli  
🗑

🗑
spirometer   measures air intake and output  
🗑
thoracentesis   insertion of needle or catheter into pleural cavity to obtain fluid, drain effusions, or expand a collapsed lung  
🗑
tracheostomy   opening in the trachea if upper respiratory system damaged  
🗑
thoracotomy   chest opened to access lungs for biopsies or resection  
🗑
lung resection   partial or full removal of lung  
🗑
