Speech production
Upper respiratory system
Lower respiratory system
100
What is the the movement of air into and out of the pulmonary apparatus?
Ventilation
100
Primary organs of the respiratory system
Lungs
100
What is the primary system responsible for speech production?
Nervous system
100
What structures make up the upper respiratory system?
The upper respiratory system includes the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx
100
What structures make up the lower respiratory tract?
trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs
200
What involves the delivery of oxygen to the body and removal of carbon dioxide from it?
Gas Exchange
200
They are responsible for the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

alveoli
200
What happens to the vocal folds when air from the lungs passes through them?
They vibrate, producing sound
200
Which part of the upper respiratory system is responsible for vocalization and sound production?
The larynx
200
The trachea is lined with these cells to help filter and humidify atmospheric air
ciliated and mucus producing cells
300
What is often considered “automatic" breathing and is controlled by the brainstem breathing centers (medulla)?
Tidal Breathing
300
The cricoid cartilage closes off the entrance to the trachea in an effort to prevent
choking when swallowing food
300
At what rate do we inhale and exhale during speech production?
10% inhalation, 90% exhalation
300
What is the role of the nasal cavity in the upper respiratory system?
The nasal cavity filters and humidifies incoming air, traps dust and particles, and contains olfactory receptors for the sense of smell.
300
The outer surface of the lungs are covered with a thin airtight membrane called
viscera pleura
400
What represents the sum of all the passive and active forces operating on the respiratory system (the pressure inside the lungs)?
Alveolar Pressure
400
The four parts to the chest wall
rib cage wall, diaphragm, abdominal wall, and abdominal content
400
What kind of training can help individuals improve their breath control for speech?
Respiratory muscle strength training
400
The structure that separates the upper respiratory tract from the lower respiratory tract
epiglottis
400
The difference between bronchi and bronchioles
bronchi are larger and enter each lung; bronchioles are smaller and lead to the alveoli
500
What is the maximum volume of air that can be inspired from the resting end-expiratory level?
Inspiratory Capacity (IC)
500
The point where the trachea divides into right and left primary bronchi is a ridge called
Carina
500
Which parts of the brain are responsible for coordinating the respiratory muscles and speech production?
the medulla oblongata and pons
500
What is the function of the epiglottis during swallowing
covers the larynx to prevent food and liquids from entering the airway
500
During inhalation, the diaphragm
contracts and flattens
