Respiration

Review/ Misc.

100

This lung contains 3 lobes

Right lung

200

This is a collapsed tube behind the trachea and is a conduit to the digestive system

Esophagus

300

This division of the vertebra is the basis for the respiratory framework.

thoracic

400

Air pressure needs to be ____ inside and outside the lungs (principle of respiration) 

equal

500

If you increase the area inside of the lungs, what would happen to the air pressure inside the lungs? 

The air pressure decreases causing air to flow in and equalize with atmospheric pressure

Definitions

100

Involves eliminating carbon dioxide from the body's cells by exhaling

Expiration

200

Involves bringing oxygen to the body's cells by inhaling

Inspiration

300

The exchange of gas between an organism and its environment

Respiration

400

This applies to respiration and states that as the volume of a container increases, air pressure w/in the container (or lungs) decreases; as the volume of a container decreases, air pressure w/in the container (or lungs) increases.

structures of respiration

Bony Thorax

100

This is the point of attachment for the ribs (directly or indirectly by costal cartilage) It has three main components (manubrium, corpus or main body, and xiphoid process)

The sternum

200

This attaches to the sternum (clavicle) and provides an A-frame to support the thoracic and back muscles

Pectoral Girdle

300

the hole that the spinal cord passes through in the vertebral column

vertebral foramen

400

This is the basis for the respiratory framework; attaches to the ribs

Thoracic Vertebrae

500

These are the 5 divisions of the vertebral column 

-cervical vertebrae (7) C1-C7

-thoracic vertebrae (12) T1-T12

-lumbar vertebrae (5) L1-L5

-sacral vertebrae (fused-sacrum) (5) S1-S5

-fused vertebrae compose coccyx (4) 

Visceral Thorax

100

This receives blood from capillaries which allows oxygen to be absorbed from the capillary network. 

Alveoli of lungs

200

This is characterized by the branching of large tubes into smaller tubes. The two main tubes go from the trachea to the lungs. 

The Bronchial Tree

300

This structure is composed of vascular, elastic tissue, blood, arterial and venous networks, connective tissue, respiratory pathway, and alveoli

The lungs

400

This houses the heart and is located deep in the bony thorax

Mediastinum

500

The oral/nasal cavities, larynx/trachea, and bronchial tree/ tubes are all structures that make up the ___ 

Respiratory Passageway

Respiratory Passageway

100

The respiratory passageway acts to safeguard against pollutants and warm/humidify air in order to... 

Protect the lungs (slide 25)

200

This has 16-20 cartilage rings and bifurcates into the mainstem bronchi to serve the lungs

Trachea

300

These structures make up the respiratory passageway

oral cavity, nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree and tubes

400

The respiratory passageway connects the ____ with the external environment

lungs

500

This lines the passageway to remove pollutants

beating epithelia (cilia)
