Anatomy
The Windpipe
Trachea
The tubes that branch off the trachea
primary bronchi
The first step - The movement of air into the body
Pulmonary ventilation
Inflammation of the bronchi
Bronchitis
The tissue that makes the trachea rigid
Hyaline cartilage
To move air into the lungs
Inspiration, inhalation, pulmonary ventilation
The cavity within which you would find both lungs
Thoracic cavity
The tubes that mark the transition from the conducting zone to the respiratory zone
Bronchioles
The process by which oxygen enters the blood
External respiration
Condition in which bronchospasm makes it difficult to breath
Asthma
The tissue that forms the wall of alveoli
simple squamous epithelium
If the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, what happens to the pressure?
Decreases
The cavity within which a single lung is found
Pleural cavity
The number of levels of branching within the bronchial tree
23
The function served (in relation to oxygen) by hemoglobin
Transport
Condition due to inhalation of coal dust
Black lung
The tissue that lines the lumen of the trachea
pseudostratified (ciliated) epithelium
The main muscle of breathing (the one always involved in moving air)
Diaphragm
The bones in the nasal cavity which cause air to swirl
Nasal conchae
secondary bronchi
What is the second of the four phases in the elimination of carbon dioxide?
Transport.
Condition caused by destruction of alveoli, leading to decreased gas exchange surface area.
Emphysema
Cells (not tissue) that make mucus un the trachea
goblet cells
Other than the main muscle of breathing, which other muscles are involved in taking in a deep breath?
(external) intercostals
The name for the lateral surface of a naris (nostril)
Ala (plural: alae)
The final, small tubes from which the alveoli emerge
alveolar ducts
What happens in internal respiration?
Oxygen is transferred from the blood to the cells that need it.
Condition characterized by chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Tissue that lines bronchioles
simple cuboidal epithelium
What is the actual change in pressure (number and units) necessary to move air into or out of the lungs?
1mm Hg
