All about the Volume
An instrument for recording volumes of air inhaled and exhaled.
Spirometer
Nas/o
Nose
The three divisions of the small intestine
Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum
A strong acid that unwinds proteins to prepare them for digestion and also destroys foreign organisms
Hydrochloric acid
most digestion takes place in the lumen of the ______
__________.
Small Intestine
The_______ ____ ____ _________
passages directly determines
the ease in which air will flow.
radius of the airway
Gastr/o
Stomach
The vermiform appendix is attached to this division of the large intestine
Cecum
Begins the digestive process by converting starch to sugar
Salivary Amylase
Almost all (98.5%) of the oxygen that diffuses into the capillary blood in the lungs binds to
Hemoglobin
The _________ phase of relaxed breathing.
occurs when the diaphragm and thoracis muscles contract, enlarging the thoracic cavity; also known as inhalation.
Active
Hepat/o
Liver
This organ manufactures bile, stores glucose, and destroys and eliminates the byproducts of RBC's
Liver
Activated by HCl and works to digest protein(acid found in stomach)
Pepsin
At the end of the bronchioles, there are ________ which are clusters of tiny air sacs in
which almost all external gas exchange occurs.
alveoli
The amount of air moved into or out of the lungs in quiet, relaxed breathing
Tidal Volume
Enter/o
Intestine
Inferior to the pharynx and superior to the trachea, houses vocal cords.
Larynx
highly acidic, semiliquid mixture or gastruc juices and
food that leaves the stomach to enter the duodenum
Chyme
the exchange
of oxygen and carbon
dioxide between the
lungs and the body
tissues
internal gas exchange
The ___________ phase of relaxed breathing.
the respiratory muscles relax. The ribs and diaphragm return to their original position.
passive
Amyl/o
Starch
Distal to the descending colon
Sigmoid Colon
This enzyme acts on the disaccharide lactose
Lactase
the exchange of
gases between the
lungs and the outside
environment
external gas exchange
The exchange of air between the lungs(alveoli) and the atmosphere so that oxygen can be
exchanged for carbon dioxide in the alveoli.
Pulmonary Ventilation
Chole
Bile, Gall
Muscular tube measuring approximately 10
inches (25 cm) long.
• This is where the food is lubricated with mucus.
• Peristalsis moves the food down to the stomach.
esophagus
millions of finger-like projections found in the small intestine
lining; increase the surface area of the small intestine for
maximum absorption
villi
high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood
hypercapnia
