Respiratory Anatomy
This describes the main function of the respiratory system, trading oxygen for carbon dioxide at your lungs and tissues
What is gas exchange
This describes one sequence of inspiration and expiration
What is a Respiratory Cycle
This Capacity describes the total amount of air your lungs can hold
What is Total Lung Capacity
This form of respiration happens in the abundance of Oxygen.
These can lose their shape and become baggy as you age. They are also the main structures that perform gas exchange (external respiration)
What are Alveoli
This respiratory organ is also known as your voicebox and is made up of the epiglottis, thyroid cartilage, and the cricoid cartilage
What is the Larynx
This describes the total number of breaths, or respiratory cycles, that occur each minute. It is an Important indicator of disease and is Controlled by respiratory center located within the medulla oblongata
What is respiratory rate
This volume describes the amount of air left in your lungs after maximum exhalation
What is Residual volume
This form of Respiration is used when the body is doing high intensity, short duration exercises.
What is Anaerobic Respiration
This muscle is super important for breathing, and as you age, it will become weaker, decreasing the function.
What is the Diaphragm
This is the layer that is superficial to the lungs, extending into and lines the lung fissures, covers the organ
What is Visceral Pleura
These two muscles drive the changing of volume of the thoracic cavity
What is the Diaphragm and Intercostal Muscles
This volume describes the volume of air that you normally breathe in and out (Quiet Breathing)
What is Tidal Volume
This type of respiration is used when the body goes through long duration and moderate intensity workouts
These bones can change shape and thin with age, not allowing the thoracic cage to expand and contract as well.
Describes the organs Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, and Bronchi. These organs create a path for incoming air and get rid of debris.
What is the conducting zone
This nervous system causes bronchodilation, or the opening up of the airways
This volume is produced by deep inhalation, past tidal inhalation.
What is Inspiratory Reserve Volume
This form of Respiration produces 2 mol of ATP per 1 Molecule of Glucose
What is Anaerobic Respiration
These become less sensitive as you age, leaving the respiratory system vulnerable to a build up of foreign particles
As the diaphragm _________________, the chest cavity increases volume, which ___________ the pressure of the chest cavity causing air to move into the lungs.
What is Contracts / Decreases
These are the three pressure that drive pulmonary ventilation
This capacity is amount of air a person can move into or out of their lungs, sum of all the volumes except residual volume
What is Vital Capacity
....
These respiratory infections can attack your vulnerable immune system when you are older.
What are influenza and pneumonia?
