The amount of air inhaled and exhaled during a normal breath.
What is Tidal Volume?
100
This structure consists of two sheets of connective tissue and several large muscles.
What is the Abdominal Wall?

100
Structure that performs gas exchange in the lungs.
What is the Alveoli?
100
A dome-shaped muscle that is the primary driver of inhalation.
What is the Diaphragm? 
200
The maximum amount of air the lungs can hold.
What is Total Lung Capacity?
200
These are cone-shaped, porous, and spongy organs that contain elastic fibers, encased by the visceral and parietal pleura.
What are the Lungs?
200
Controls airflow and breath support for phonation.
What is the role of the diaphragm in speech production?
200
Gas that is absorbed into the blood during inhalation.
What is Oxygen?
200
Muscles are found between the ribs and help with breathing by moving the ribcage.
What are the Intercostal Muscles?
300
The air remaining in the lungs after a full exhalation.
What is Residual Volume?
300
Layer of fluid that links the pulmonary apparatus and chest wall.
What is the Pleaural Linkage?
300
Structure that helps amplify and shape the sound of your voice.
What is the Nasal Cavity?
300
Gas that is expelled from the body during exhalation.
What is Carbon Dioxide?
300
The four abdominal muscles.
What are Rectus, Transversus Abdominis, External and Internal Oblique?
400
The amount of air your lungs can hold after taking a deep breath in.
What is Inspiratory Reserve Volume?
400
Structure that comprise most of the skeletal framework.
What are the Ribs?
400
The process of modifying airflow to create different speech sounds.
What is Articulation?
400
The tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi, allowing air to pass into the lungs.
What is the Trachea?
400
The large neck muscle helps lift the sternum and clavicle during deep inhalation.
What is the Sternocleidomastoid?
500
The process by which oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood and carbon dioxide moves from the blood to the lungs
What is Gas Exchange?
500
Structure formed by 34 irregularly shaped bones.
What is the Vertebral Column?
500
Structure acts as a passageway for air and food, playing a role in speech.
What is the Pharynx?
500
Structures that are formed when the trachea branches into two main passages that lead to each lung.
What is the Bronchi?
500
Smaller muscles in the neck help elevate the first two ribs during forced inspiration
What are the Scalene Muscles?
