Upper Respiratory
These cells propel trapped debris towards the throat for digestion
what are ciliated cells?
This structure prevents food from entering the nasal cavity when swallowed
what is the uvula?
What is pleural fluid?
The process that precedes external respiration
what is ventilation/ breathing?
This is the most important stimulus for breathing
what is the amount of Co2?
three ridge that are found with in the nasal cavity. increases the mucosal surface area and air turbulence
what is the conchae?
What is the Thyroid Cartilage?
what is surfactant?
two muscles that are involved in breathing
what is the diaphragm and external intercostals
this part of the brainstem controls quiet and regular breathing
what is the medulla?
Your friend had her larynx removed. what will she be unable to do?
speak
what is the trachea?
this is found between the the capillary and each alveolus
what is the respiratory membrane?
your muscles relaxes which decreases in volume of lungs which increases the pressure within lungs and air rushes out. this process is called what?
What is expiration?
This part of the brain modifies timing and smooth control of breathing by communicating with the ventral respiratory group
what is the pons?
tonsils and alveolar macrophages are found within the respiratory system, but function as part of what other system?
this structure connects the nose to the throat
What is the nasopharynx?
this lung has 3 lobes

what is expiratory reserve volume?
write out the path of carbon dioxide as is enters your respiratory system
mouth/nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
