Bronchioles terminate in this structure.

What are the alveoli?

100
This is the process driving the exchange of both oxygen and carbon dioxide through alveolar walls.
What is diffusion?
100

This is any solution with a high number of H+ ions, which means it has a low pH.

What is an acid?

100

These are the two membranes that create the pleural cavity with the most superficial membrane first.

What are the parietal and the visceral pleura?

100
What type of cells are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body?
What are red blood cells?
200

These beat continually to propel mucous to the pharynx where they can be swallowed.

cilia (the mucociliary apparatus)

200
These are two benefits of inhaling air through the nose.
What are warms, filters, and/or moistens?
200
In this type of environment, hemoglobin has a high affinity for Oxygen.
What is hi oxygen or high PO2?
200
These are the four lobes of the cat's right lung.
What are the right anterior, right medial, right posterior, right mediastinal?
200
This is the definition of internal respiration.
What is the process by which living cells absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide (as a result of cellular respiration).
300

The structure of the walls of the alveoli are composed of this type of cell (and tissue type).

What is simple squamous epithelium?

300
As this muscle contracts, it increases the volume of the thoracic cavity.
What is the diaphragm?
300
Most of the waste from cellular respiration (CO2) is transported in the blood plasma in what form?
What is carbonic acid or bicarbonate?
300
This muscle forms the thoracic cavity floor.
What is the diaphragm?
300
This is the process by which a cell produces ATP.
What is cellular respiration or aerobic respiration (within a context that necessitates gas exchanged)?
400
This is the volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximal exhalation.
What is the residual volume (~1200mL)?
400
These are three end products of aerobic respiration.
What are ATP, H2O, CO2
400
The most important chemical stimulus leading to increased rate and depth of breathing is what?
What is low blood pH (acidic blood)?
400
The epiglottis is the anterior-most segment of this structure.
What is the larynx?
400
This is the instrument used to measure respiratory volumes.
What is a spirometer?
500
This prevents alveoli from collapsing under the surface tension of water. Name the chemical and the type of cell that secretes it.
What are: 1) Surfactant 2)Type II alveolar cells (Type II pneumocytes)
500

The process of air moving into and out of the lungs is called this.

 pulmonary ventilation?

500
Why would some one that's hyperventilating want to breath into a paper bag?
What is because hyperventilation pulls more CO2 from the blood plasma, which increases the plasma pH leading to respiratory alkalosis. By breathing into a bag, the PCO2 remains higher and less CO2 is leaving solution in the blood plasma?
500
This structure is larger in young animals than older ones. It lies ventrally along the posterior end of the trachea and is associated with the pericardium.
What is the thymus (gland)?
500
This is the area between the two pleural cavities that contains all of the thoracic viscera except the lungs.
What is the mediastinum?
