What is the the movement of air into and out of the pulmonary apparatus?
Ventilation
Primary organs of the respiratory system
What is the primary system responsible for speech production?
Nervous system
What structures make up the upper respiratory system?
The upper respiratory system includes the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx
What structures make up the lower respiratory tract?
trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs
What involves the delivery of oxygen to the body and removal of carbon dioxide from it?
Gas Exchange
They are responsible for the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
alveoli
What happens to the vocal folds when air from the lungs passes through them?
They vibrate, producing sound
Which part of the upper respiratory system is responsible for vocalization and sound production?
The larynx
The trachea is lined with these cells to help filter and humidify atmospheric air
ciliated and mucus producing cells
What is often considered “automatic" breathing and is controlled by the brainstem breathing centers (medulla)?
Tidal Breathing
The cricoid cartilage closes off the entrance to the trachea in an effort to prevent
choking when swallowing food
10% inhalation, 90% exhalation
What is the role of the nasal cavity in the upper respiratory system?
The nasal cavity filters and humidifies incoming air, traps dust and particles, and contains olfactory receptors for the sense of smell.
The outer surface of the lungs are covered with a thin airtight membrane called
viscera pleura
What represents the sum of all the passive and active forces operating on the respiratory system (the pressure inside the lungs)?
Alveolar Pressure
rib cage wall, diaphragm, abdominal wall, and abdominal content
What kind of training can help individuals improve their breath control for speech?
Respiratory muscle strength training
epiglottis
The difference between bronchi and bronchioles
bronchi are larger and enter each lung; bronchioles are smaller and lead to the alveoli
What is the maximum volume of air that can be inspired from the resting end-expiratory level?
Inspiratory Capacity (IC)
The point where the trachea divides into right and left primary bronchi is a ridge called
Carina
Which parts of the brain are responsible for coordinating the respiratory muscles and speech production?
the medulla oblongata and pons
What is the function of the epiglottis during swallowing
covers the larynx to prevent food and liquids from entering the airway
During inhalation, the diaphragm
contracts and flattens
