Anatomy
Responsible for protection of thoracic cavity
Ribs
Direction of diaphragm movement during exhalation
Up
Volume: Regular breathing
Tidal Volume
Best cure for acute mountain sickness:
Descent
Passage between nasal cavity and back of mouth
Nasopharynx
These tubes are the first branches off of the trachea
Primary Bronchi
Direction of rib movement during exhalation
Inward
Capacity: All the air you can fit in your lungs
Total lung capacity
Mesothelioma is a common result of exposure to:
Asbestos
Tissue type found in alveoli
Simple squamous
Small pouches which fill with air for gas exchange
Alveoli
Direction of diaphragm during inhalation
Down
Volume: Air you can inhale after a tidal inhalation
Inspiratory reserve volume
Cricoid cartilage
Increase surface area for filtration of air entering the respiratory tract
Nasal conchae
Smallest branches of "tubing" which carry air through the lungs
Bronchioles
How does pressure change in thoracic cavity during inhalation?
Decreases
Vital capacity
This is the name for a hole in the lung
Pneumothorax
What types of cells move mucus in the trachea up towards the pharynx
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
Serous membrane in direct contact with lungs
Visceral pleura
Muscles between ribs that help move ribs
Intercostals
What two volumes add together to create the functional residual capacity
ERV + RV
Expiratory reserve volume + Residual volume
This fluid prevents the walls of alveoli from sticking together after exhalation
