After air passes through the trachea what part of the respiratory system does it go to?
The Main Bronchi

Larynx
The voice box allows a person to talk and make sound
200
What is the function of the Nasal Cavity
Warm or cool air
Humidify incoming air
Trap dust, pathogens and other particles
sense of smell

What is in the air when you breathe out (Exhale)
Contains wastes and carbon dioxide

This is a chronic respiratory disorder caused by inflammation and narrowing of the bronchial tubes.
Asthma

How many lobes are on the right side of the lungs?
Three Lobes
300
External Intercostal Muscles
Groups of muscles that work antagonistically to move the ribcage.

Describe the changes that take place to the Diaphragm during inhalation and exhalation.
Inhalation - The diaphragm moves down creating a U-Shape to allow air to fill up the lungs.
Exhalation - The diaphragm moves up flattening to a dome-like shape allowing air to move out of the lungs.

Describe what takes place during external respiration
The exchange of gases (O2 and CO2) between the air in the lungs and the bloodstream.

This element is part of red blood cell hemoglobin, muscle myoglobin, and enzymes involved in electron transfer for energy metabolism. It is a critical element in the delivery of oxygen to working tissues.
Iron

What takes place when someone has Cystic Fibrosis?
Mucus membranes throughout the body and produces too much mucus. The excess mucus clogs the bronchial tubes and obstructs breathing.

What are the two major muscles that play a role in respiration?
External Intercostal Muscles
Diaphragm

Oxygenation
The process of supplying oxygen to cells. Takes place during external respiration.

What are the benefits of diaphragmatic breathing?
* Name three
- Helping you relax.
- Improving muscle function during exercises and preventing strain.
- Increasing how much oxygen is in your blood.
- Making it easier for your body to release gas waste from your lungs.
- Reducing blood pressure.
- Reducing heart rate.
