We have valves in out heart to make sure that this doesn't happen?

What is blood flowing backwards?

100

This is the name for the space resulting in a smaller left lung

What is the cardiac notch?

100

This structure is commonly referred to as the "voice box" due to its assistance in breathing, swallowing, and talking

What is the larynx

200

Deoxygenated blood enters the heart through this structure

What is the vena cava?

200
Main bronchi branch out into thinner structures called this

What are bronchioles

200

These structures return blood back to the heart after it's been oxygenated by the lungs

What are the pulmonary veins?

200

To allow for easy gas exchange, the alveolar sacs are made of this type of tissue

What is simple squamous?

200

These two gasses are swapped during gas exchange in the capillaries of the alveoli

What are oxygen and carbon dioxide?

300

The tricupsid valve is found on this side of the heart

What is the right side?

300

This structure covers the alveoli in a net like fashion to allow for gas exchange

What are capillaries

300

There are two entrances and exits to the heart for this reason

What is to save energy and split blood supply based on location?
300

The nasal conchae perform these three function to aid in preparing air for the lungs

What is increase surface area, humidification, and warming?

300

This structure is the largest artery in the body

What is the aorta

400

The heart wall is comprised of these three layers

What is epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium?

400

This structure found just below the lungs is responsible for contracting to expand the lungs

What is the diaphragm?
400

This layer of the heart acts to reduce friction

What is the epicardium?

400

The trachea is covered when swallowing by this thin flap of cartilage

What is the epiglottis?

400
Students often dissect pig hearts when studying human hearts for this reason

What is similar structures and size?

500
This layer of blood vessels differs in thickness between veins and arteries

What is tunica media?

500

This is the name for the tube that connects the mouth and nose to the voicebox

What is the pharynx

500

The ventricles differ in this way from the atrium so they can maintain efficiency at pumping blood

What is wall thickness?

500

The trachea is reinforced by these to maintain an open airway

What are cartilage rings?

500

This is the name for the point of the heart, located at the bottom and used to orient the organ in space

What is the apex?
