Anatomy of Respiration
100
This type of exhalation happens during normal breathing.
What is passive exhalation?
100
These muscles play a significant role during exhalation by compressing the abdominal cavity.
What are the abdominal muscles?
100
This refers to the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during one cycle of respiration.
(Mistry, 2022)
What is tidal volume?
100
Breathing difficulties or shortness of breath.
(Kumar, 2024)
What is dyspnea ?
100
The dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the lungs which is the primary muscle responsible for respiration
What is the diaphragm?
200
The abdomen is displaced inward relative to the rib cage.
What happens to the abdomen relative to the rib cage during speech breathing?
200
The muscle that primarily drives inspiration and is dome-shaped when relaxed.
(Health Jade, 2017)
What is the diaphragm?
200
This muscle group is active in small lung volume at an extended steady utterance
What are expiratory muscles?
200
a lung disease causing airflow obstruction and breathing difficulties due to damage in the alveoli
What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
200
What are the intercostal muscles?
What are small muscles located in between the ribs that assist in contracting and expanding the chest during inhalation and exhalation?
300
The respiratory system has two main components: the pulmonary apparatus and this structure containing the ribs and intercostal muscles.
(Rendina & Ciccone, 2007)
What is the chest wall?
300
When the upper ribs move slightly upward, while the lower ones swing outward during inhalation to make space for more air.
What is ribcage expansion?
300
When does inspiratory checking occur at a larger lung volume rate?
What is at the beginning of a sustained vowel when the relaxation pressure is very high-positive (expiratory pressure)
300
What respiratory condition is caused by inflammation and narrowed airways that lead to shortness of breath and wheezing?
What is asthma?
300
What is the bronchial tree?
(Labster, n.d.)
What is the network of branching tubes starting in the bronchi and is responsible for directing airflow deep into the lungs?
400
Inhalation & exhalation, external respiration, internal respiration, air vibration, and olfaction
What are the five functions of the respiratory system?
400
These muscles have fibers that run a) downward and forward to assist inhalation & b) upward and backward to assist exhalation
(FitzGordon, 2023)
What are the external intercostals and internal intercostals?
400
This is the volume of air during automatic, life breathing typically around 500 ML (milliliters).
What is resting tidal breath?
400
Life-threatening condition when air leaks between the chest wall and lung, causing lung collapse.
What is pneumothorax?
400
What does the respiratory membrane consist of?
What is a thin barrier of capillary walls and alveolar which is rapid diffusion of gasses?
500
In normal breathing, the cycle is typically 40% inhalation and 60% exhalation, but during speech production, this ratio shifts drastically. What is the approximate inhale-to-exhale ratio during speech production?
(Weebly, n.d.)
What is 90% inhale and 10% exhale?
500
What is the chest wall shape for conversational speaking?
What is upright; 60-80%?
500
This lung volume helps prevent the lungs from collapsing
(Biology Articles, Tutorials & Dictionary Online, 2023)
What is residual volume?
500
A genetic disorder that affects the respiratory and even the digestive system with mucus build-up in the lungs.
(Singh, 2022)
What is cystic fibrosis?
500
What is the larynx?
(Cleveland, 2024)
What is what houses the vocal folds and plays an important role in protecting the airways?
