which tonsil sits at the base of the tongue	lingual
what part of the respiratory system routes air and food into their proper channels and plays a role in speech	larynx
what flap of elastic cartilage protects the superior opening of the larynx	epiglottis
when breathing in, air enters the larynx through an opening called the	glottis
which tissue forms the C- shaped rings that reinforce the trachea	hyaline cartilage
the primary purpose for a tracheostomy would be to allow the patient to	breathe
damage to the larynx can cause an inability to	speak
the serous membrane that surrounds each lung is created by a parietal and visceral	pleura
which passageways branch off of the inferior end of the trachea	bronchi
what are the smallest conducting passageways of the lungs that lead into the alveoli	bronchioles
which zone includes the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli and is where gas exchange occurs	respiratory zone
the process of moving air into and out of the lungs is commonly called breathing or	pulmonary ventilation
which two variables dictate the mechanics of breathing	pressure, volume
which inspiratory muscle contract so we can inspire air	diaphragm, external intercostals
______ volume is the air moved into and out of the lungs during normal quiet breathing and is approximately 500 ml of air	tidal
which of the following respiratory volumes is the largest	vital capacity
what nonrespiratory air movement is intended to ventilate all alveoli	yawn
in the pulmonary circuit which gas diffuses from the blood of the pulmonary capillaries into the alveoli to be exhaled	carbon dioxide

the major function of the respiratory system is to	supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide
which nonrespiratory air movement clears the upper respiratory passageways	sneezing
hypoventilation dramatically increases carbonic acid concentration and involves	extremely slow breathing
