Anatomy
The Adam's apple is located here.
What is the larynx?
This reduces surface tension in the alveoli.
What is surfactant?
The auditory (eustachian) tube connects these.
What is middle ear and nasopharynx?
Ciliated epithilium in the respiratory mucosa protect the lungs by doing this.
What is sweeping upward toward the pharynx in one direction?
This is the largest amount of air that can be breathed in and out in one breath.
What is vital capacity?
These are included in the paranasal sinuses.
What is ethmoid, maxillary, sphenoid, and frontal?
The exchange of gases (carbon dioxide and oxygen) between the alveoli and blood is called this.
What is external respiration?
This remains in the lungs after the most forceful exhalation.
What is residual volume?
Paranasal sinuses do these things.
What is lighten the weight of the skull, act as resonant chambers for sound, are lined with mucosa continuous with the nasal cavaty.
This is the most important muscle(s) of inspiration.
What is diaphragm?
This partition divides the nasal cavaties.
What is nasal septum?
The exchange of gases between the blood and the cells is called this.
What is internal respiration?
During inhalation, the diaphragm does this.
What is contracts and moves down?
These are located in the nasal and oropharynx and are part of the immune system.
What are linguil, palantine, and pharyngeal (adenoid) tonsils?
This term describes a normal respiratory rate.
What is eupnea?
This lines the wall of the aveoli.
What is the respiratory membrane?
The inspiratory and expiratory centers are located here.
What is the medulla?
These keep lungs from over-inflating.
What are stretch receptors?
This keeps food from entering into the trachea.
What is the epiglottis?
Labored breathing or dyspnea is usually associated with this type of breathing.
What is hypoventilation?
This lines the airway distribution tubes.
What is the respiratory mucosa?
This converts hemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin.
What is oxygen?
Carbon dioxide in the blood is carried most efficiently by these.
What is bicarbonate ions?
This serous membrane covers the outer surface of each lung and lines the inner surface of the rib cage.
What is pleura?
The amount of air that moves in and out of the lungs during normal respiration is called this.
What is tidal volume?
