Lung Information
Upper Respiratory
Lower Respiratory
Breathing
True/False?
100
When you breathe in and out and air is exchanged.
What is pulmonary ventilation?
100
Provides the initial receiving chamber for inhaled air.
What is the nose?
100
Microscopic air sac or space in the lungs.
What are alveoli?
100
The sum of the vital capacity and residual volume.
What is the total lung capacity?
100
One function of the respiratory system is to remove carbon dioxide from the blood stream.
What is TRUE?
200
Compartments that lungs are divided into.
What are lobes?
200
Tubular air passage about 4/5 inches by 1 inch.
What is the trachea?
200
The reason that the right and left lung have different numbers of compartments.
What is because of the heart on the left side?
200
The total amount of exchangeable air.
What is vital capacity?
200
The lungs occupy most of the thoracic cavity.
What is TRUE?
300
Number of lobes in the right lung and the left lung in that order.
What is 3 and 2?
300
Chamber from the back of the nasal cavity to larynx.
What is the pharynx?
300
Rings of this are found in the primary and secondary bronchus but not after that.
What are cartilage rings?
300
Normal movement of the air in and out of the lungs with each breath.
What is tidal volume?
300
The trachea is part of the upper respiratory system.
What is FALSE?
400
The narrow superior portion of the lung.
What is the apex?
400
The voice box.
What is the larynx?
400
The "tree" that branches off into each lung.
What are bronchioles?
400
The amount of air that can be inhaled forcibly over the tidal volume.
What is inspiratory reserve volume?
400
In expiration your body relies upon muscle contractions.
What is FALSE?
500
Diffusion of these two gases between the alveoli and blood and between the blood and the cells is what respiration is all about.
What are oxygen and carbon dioxide?
500
Oxygen filled hemoglobin is called this.
What is Oxyhemoglobin?
500
Thin barrier between alveoli & capillaries that assists with the rapid exchange of gasses.
What is the respiratory membrane?
500
The volume of air remaining in the lungs after a forced expiration.
What is the residual volume?
500
There are 300-500 million alveoli in the lungs of an average adult.
