Respiratory Riddles
What is the respiratory system made up of?
Pulmonary Apparatus and chest wall
What are the anatomy support structures of respiration?
vertebral column, ribs 1-12, sternum, and intercostal muscles
When does volume decrease in the lungs?
During expiration
What is the function of the Pulmonary Vain?
To take oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart
After passing through the nasal cavity, where does air then go?
The pharynx
What makes up the chest wall?
Rib cage wall, abdominal wall. diaphragm, and abdominal content
Where does the primary gas exchange occur
the aveoli
How does the diaphragm move during inhalation?
the diaphragm contracts and moves downwards
What is the tube that connects the throat to the lungs?
Trachea
What do internal intercostal muscles do?
What is included in the upper respiratory tract?
nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx
Define plural linkage
the connection between the lungs and the thorax through the plural membrane thus allowing for proper expansion and contraction for inhalation and expiration.
Describe the intercostal muscles
the intercostal muscles are found inbetween the ribs, and assist during breathing by expanding and contracting the rib cage
A condition that inflames the airway making it difficult to breath
Asthma
What are the two main divisions of skeletal framework?
axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton
What is included in the Lower Respiratory Tract?
Trachea, primary bronchi and lungs
Define anatomical positions in terms of pleural fluid
What is the main function of the Alveoli
facilitate gas exchange by allowing oxygen into the blood and filtering out carbon dioxide
What are the structures that lead off the trachea and into each lung
Bronchi
What are the two movements of the rib cage?
The two types of rib cage movement are called Bucket Handle and Pump Handle. Bucket handle is when the lower rib cage moves upward and outward, or downward and inward. The second movement, pump handle is when the front end is moving either upward and forward, or downward and backward.
What are the main structures of the Respiratory system?
the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles
When does volume increase in the lungs
What does the pulmonary artery do?
What is Tidal Volume?
the amount of air inhaled and exhaled in a normal breath
What is the volume of a typical resting tidal breath?
The volume of a typical resting tidal breath in adults is approximately 500 mL
