Anatomy
These pink lobed organs are situated on the right and left sides of the chest. This organ takes in oxygen and breathes out CO2.
What is lungs
This molecule is often found as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. It is also a waste product that our body disposes of, and too much of it can cause hypercapnia.
What is Carbon Dioxide
This very common disease gives the person trouble breathing during a certain type of "attack" for this disease.
What is Asthma
This organ is centered in the chest and the left lung has a different shape to accommodate this organ. This organ is known to function alongside the lungs by pumping in blood for the lungs to oxygenate. This organ is the subject of many poems and love letters.
What is heart
This part of the respiratory system is quite unlike its neighbor, the esophagus. This tube is rigid, and it gives a path for air to flow to the lungs.
What is trachea
This action keeps you alive by taking in oxygen and delivering it to all organs. This action is performed by the lungs.
What is breathing
This common illness is characterized by a bacterial infection in the lungs, and in some severe cases, a build-up of fluid in the lungs.
What is pneumonia
These balloon-like "organs" act as a vessel for blood. These blood vessel walls are not as strong as its counterpart, so it needs valves to keep blood flowing. This specific type of blood vessel carries blood towards the heart and is often misunderstood for being blue.
What is vein
This organ is often confused with another similar organ because of its name. This busy organ is what helps you talk; it is often called the voice box.
What is larynx
This substance carries oxygen and CO2. It also flows towards the alveoli to pick up oxygen from the air. This substance is contained within blood vessels.
What is blood
This destructive disease comes in many forms throughout the body, but it very commonly occurs in the lungs. The growth of this disease of malignant cells comes in stages.
What is lung cancer
This blood vessel is compared to being the size of a water hose. This artery is seen to have three branches coming out of it in multiple heart diagrams. Blood flows through this largest blood vessel of the body, which is where oxygenated blood exits the heart.
What is aorta
These tiny sacs sit in the lungs, exchanging oxygen with carbon dioxide. Tiny blood vessels flow near them, carrying CO2 for these sacs to dispose of.
What is alveoli
This organ is controlled by an electrical system with pacemaker cells. This organ also supplies the lungs with deoxygenated blood which the lungs then fill with oxygen. This organ works with the respiratory system and is the muscle that controls the circulatory system.
What is heart
This disease targets the alveoli sacs within the lungs, and it causes them to scar and enlarge. This disease is a very common symptom of smoking.
What is emphysema
These types of doctors are only called on when the patient was trouble breathing, and they can treat a wide range of patients from infants to the elderly. These careers are also the focus of this month's HOSA spotlight career.
What is Respiratory Therapist
This large organ is the dividing line between the thorax and abdomen. It pushes up and down on the lungs based on the volume of air in the lungs. This organ is also suspected to cause hiccups.
What is diaphragm
This process is used by the body to generate energy or ATP. This metabolic process includes the oxygenation of the blood, the process of converting oxygen to chemical energy, and the removal of waste products.
What is cellular respiration
This rare genetic disorder occurs when the mucus in the pathways leading up to the lungs gets too thick for easy breathing, which can lead to lung damage.
What is cystic fibrosis
This part of the brain is considered one of the most essential parts of the brain for survival. Its functions by regulating the body's regular processes, such as keeping the lungs breathing, keeping the heart pumping, and oxygen levels in the blood. It is located at the stem of the brain.
What is medulla
