Respiration
This type of respiration is the process of taking in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
Breathing
The topmost layer of the skin that you can see is called this.
Epidermis
The tube that carries air to and from the lungs is called this.
Trachea
This is the tiny filtering unit in the kidney.
Nephron
This is a respiratory disorder often caused by allergies and resulting in constricted airways.
Asthma
This is the process in which cells use oxygen to break down molecules and release energy.
Cellular respiration
This pigment determines skin and hair color.
Melanin
The structure that contains the vocal cords is called this.
Larynx
This tube carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
Urethra
Name a lung disease usually caused by smoking.
Emphysema or lung cancer
The gas that is produced as a waste product during cellular respiration and is transported by the blood to be expelled.
Carbon dioxide
Name the gland that produces sebum and can contribute to acne.
Sebaceous gland
These are the branches of the trachea that extend into the lungs.
Bronchi
The small, hard objects that can form in the kidney.
Kidney stones
This is a disease of the lungs that results in fluid buildup in the alveoli (often from infection).
Pneumonia
These are clusters of air sacs deep in the lungs.
Alveoli
This can grow in a clogged pore and cause inflammation and pimples.
Bacteria
This is the large flat muscle beneath the lungs that helps move air into the lungs as it contracts.
Diaphragm
A condition that requires the use of dialysis to filter the blood.
Kidney failure
This is a disease of the lungs that is caused by continual inflammation of the bronchi.
Emphysema
This is where blood releases oxygen and picks up carbon dioxide.
Alveoli
List two of the five structures found in the dermis.
Blood vessels, sweat glands, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, nerves
The path air takes through the respiratory system begins at the nose/mouth and ends at these structures attached to alveoli.
Capillaries
This is a waste product produced by cells.
Urea
This is the inflammation of the kidneys.
