The Fast and the Pharyngeal
Air commonly enters the respiratory system through these two cavities.
What are the nasal cavity & the oral cavity.
This term means the mechanical process of moving air into and out of the lungs.
What is ventilation?
This chamber receives blood returning through the superior and inferior vena cava.
What is the right atrium?
These two large veins return blood to the heart from the systemic circulation.
What are the superior and inferior vena cava?
this organ system include the brain, spinal cord, and the peripheral nerves.
What is the nervous system?
This airway structure is posterior to the nasal cavity and the oral cavity.
What is the pharynx? or What are the nasal pharynx and oral pharynx?
This dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs is the primary muscle used during normal inhalation.
What is the diaphragm?
This chamber pumps blood through the pulmonary artery and into the pulmonary circulation.
What is the right ventricle?
This section of blood vessels lays against the alveoli and takes part in external respiration.
What are the pulmonary capillaries?
This organ system provides support, framework, and produces blood cells.
What is the skeletal system?
These structures are the location of external respiration.
What are the alveoli?
During inhalation, the chest cavity (blank) in size and the pressure inside the lungs (blank).
What is enlarges (becomes bigger)? & What is decreases (gets lower, becomes negative)?
This chamber has the largest myocardium on the heart.
What is the left ventricle?
This protein has four attachment areas for oxygen to be transported on and is carried inside of the (blank).
What are hemoglobins? and What are the erythrocytes (red blood cells)?
This organ has both endocrine and exocrine rolls.
What is the pancreas?
This airway structure protects the airway during swallowing.
What is the epiglottis?
During normal exhalation, the lung space (blank) in size and the pressure inside the lungs becomes (blank).
What is decreases (gets smaller)? and What is increases (becomes positive)?
This medical terminology referes to the muscle that acts to pump the cardiovascular system.
What is the myocardium?
List the medical terms for each of the following: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and the fluid portion of blood.
What are erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes, and plasma.
This organ (blank) filters the blood, the waste is transferred through the (blank), stored in the (blank) bladder, and excreted from the body through the (blank).
What are the kidneys, the ureters, the urinary bladder, and the urethra?
List the pathway of air moving from outside air to the end of the respiratory pathway.
Nasal cavity (oral cavity), pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi (main stem bronchi), bronchioles, & alveoli.
This nerve branches off from the spinal cord at (blank) and innervates with the diaphgram to ventilate.
What is the Phrenic nerve? and What is cervical vertebrae 3, 4, or 5 (C3, C4, or C5)?
List the order of the heart valves in order beginning with the blood returning to the right atrium and ending as the blood is pumped through the aorta.
What are the tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, bicuspid (mitral) valve, and the aortic valve?
Name the primary location where red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are produced and name the two organs that commonly remove or recycle old blood cells and platelets.
What are the red bon marrow? and What are the liver and the spleen?
The pancreas helps regulate blood glucose by releasing these two main hormones. Name both hormones and describe their basic functions.
What are insulin, which helps body cells take in glucose and promotes glucose storage, and glucagon, which tells the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream?
