Question
Answer
The upper respiratory tract consists of   the air passages of the nose, nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx, and upper trachea  
🗑
The lower respiratory tract consists of   the lower trachea and the lungs themselves, which include the bronchial tubes  
🗑
The nasal cavities are separated by the   nasal septum  
🗑
The nasal mucosa lining is   ciliated epithelium  
🗑
Conchae   Three shelf-like or scroll-like bones that project from the lateral wall of each nasal cavity  
🗑
In the upper nasal cavities are the   olfactory receptors  
🗑
Paranasal sinuses   air cavities in the maxillae, frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones  
🗑
The paranasal sinuses are lined with   ciliated epithelium  
🗑
The pharynx   a muscular tube posterior to the nasal and oral cavities and anterior to the cervical vertebrae  
🗑
Soft palate   is elevated during swallowing to block the nasopharynx  
🗑
Laryngopharynx   open anteriorly into the larynx and posteriorly into the esophagus  
🗑
Larynx   Most often called the voice box  
🗑
The largest cartilage of the larynx is the   thyroid cartilage  
🗑
Epiglottis   the uppermost cartilage of the larynx  
🗑
The vocal cords are on either side of the   glottis, which is between them  
🗑
Trachea   is about 4 to 5 inches long and extends from the larynx to the primary bronchi; it is anterior to the esophagus.  
🗑
The right and left primary bronchi are   the branches of the trachea that enters the lungs  
🗑
The further branching of the bronchial tubes is often called the   bronchial tree  
🗑
The smaller branches of the bronchial tree are called   bronchioles  
🗑
No ______ is present in the walls of the bronchioles   cartilage  
🗑
The smallest bronchioles terminate in clusters of _______, the air sacs of the lungs   alveoli  
🗑
The lungs are located   on either side of the heart in the chest cavity and are encircled and protected by the rib cage  
🗑
Hilus   Where the primary bronchus and the pulmonary artery and veins enter the lung  
🗑
The parietal pleura lines the   chest wall  
🗑
The visceral pleura is   on the surface of the lungs  
🗑
The functional units of the lungs are the air sacs called   alveoli  
🗑
Pulmonary surfactant   a lipoprotein secreted by alveolar type II cells  
🗑
Lipoprotein   mixed with the tissue fluid within the alveoli and decreases its surface tension, permitting inflation of the alveoli  
🗑
Ventilation   the term for the movement of air to and from the alveoli  
🗑
Diaphragm   a dome-shaped muscle below the lungs  
🗑
External intercostal muscles   pull the ribs upward and outward  
🗑
Internal intercostal muscles   pull the ribs downward and inward  
🗑
Atmospheric pressure   the pressure of the air around us  
🗑
Intrapleural pressure   the pressure with the potential pleural space between the parietal pleura and visceral pleura  
🗑
Intrapulmonic pressure   The pressure with the bronchial tree and alveoli  
🗑
Inspiration   inhalation  
🗑
Expiration   exhalation  
🗑
Tidal volume   the amount of air involved in one normal inhalation and exhalation  
🗑
Minute respiratory volume   The amount of air inhaled and exhaled in 1 minute  
🗑
Inspiratory reserve   The amount of air, beyond tidal volume, that can be taken in with the deepest possible inhalation  
🗑
Expiratory reserve   the amount of air, beyond tidal volume, that can be expelled with the most forceful exhalation  
🗑
Vital capacity   the sum of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve, and expiratory reserve  
🗑
Residual air (volume)   the amount of air that remains in the lungs after the most forceful exhalation; the average range is 1000 to 1500 mL  
🗑
Alveolar ventilation   the amount of air that actually reaches the alveoli and participates in gas exchange  
🗑
Anatomic dead space   The air still within the respiratory passages  
🗑
Physiological dead space   volume of non-functioning alveoli that decrease gas exchange  
🗑
Compliance   normal expansibility  
🗑
External respiration   the exchange of gases between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries  
🗑
Internal respiration   the exchange of gases between the blood in the systemic capillaries and the tissue fluid (cells) of the body  
🗑
Partial pressure   the pressure a gas exerts within a mixture of gases  
🗑
Most oxygen is carried in the blood bonded to the   hemoglobin in red blood cells  
🗑
The mineral _______ is part of hemoglobin and gives this protein its oxygen-carrying ability   iron  
🗑
The respiratory centers are located in the   medulla and pons  
🗑
Within the medulla are the   inspiration center and expiration center  
🗑
The inspiration center   automatically generates impulses in rhythmic spurts  
🗑
The inspiration center activates   expiration center  
🗑
The expiration center   generates impulses to the internal intercostal and abdominal muscles  
🗑
The apneustic center   prolongs inhalation  
🗑
The pneumotaxic center   interrupts the apneustic center and contributes to exhalation  
🗑
Impulses from the ________ modify the output from the medulla   hypothalamus  
🗑
The _____ ______ enable us to voluntarily change our breathing rate or rhythm.   cerebral cortex  
🗑
Chemoreceptors   detect changes in blood gases and pH.  
🗑
Chemoreceptors are located in   carotid and aortic bodies  
🗑
Hypercania   excess CO2  
🗑
Respiratory acidosis   When the rate or efficiency of respiration decreases, permitting carbon dioxide to accumulate in body fluids.  
🗑
Respiratory alkalosis   When the rate of respiration increases, and CO2 is very rapidly exhaled  
🗑
Metabolic acidosis may be caused by   untreated diabetes mellitus, kidney, disease, or severe diarrhea  
🗑
Metabolic alkalosis may be caused   ingestion of excessive amounts of alkaline medications such as those used to relieve gastric disturbances  
🗑
