Anatomy Basics
This structure connects the nose to the throat
What is the nasopharynx
Why do boys’ voices deepen as they age
What is their vocal cords grow longer
Cartilaginous rings in the trachea prevent this
What is trachea collapsing
This is where gas exchange occurs.
What are the alveoli?
Air exchanged during normal breathing.
What is tidal volume
These structures increase air turbulence in the nasal cavity
What are the conchae
These structures produce sound when air passes over them
What are the vocal cords
Cilia move particles in this direction from the nasal cavity
What is toward the throat (superiorly)?
The respiratory zone is NOT found here
What is the trachea
This is NOT part of vital capacity.
What is residual volume?
This structure is surrounded by cartilage and carries air to the lungs
What is the trachea
The “Adam’s apple” is also known as this cartilage
What is the thyroid cartilage
These immune structures belong to the lymphatic system
What are tonsils and alveolar macrophages?
The respiratory zone contains these structures
What are capillaries and alveoli
Used when blowing out birthday candles.
What is expiratory reserve volume?
This structure is involved in both respiratory and digestive systems
What is the epiglottis
A person without a larynx would be unable to do this
What is speak
Paranasal sinuses do NOT perform this function.
What is keep airways open?
During inspiration, lung volume and pressure change how?
What is volume increases, pressure decreases?
Air left in lungs after maximum exhale.
What is residual volume?
These are found above the nasal cavity and help lighten the skull
What are the sinuses?
Growing sinus cavities affect voice by doing this
What is allowing sound to resonate more deeply
Tracheal rings are open on one side to allow movement of this structure
What is the esophagus?
Correct path of CO₂ leaving the body.
alveoli → bronchioles → bronchi → trachea → larynx → pharynx → mouth/nose?
Total amount of air lungs can hold.
What is total lung capacity?
