Pneumonia
100
This diseases symptoms include: sore throat, cough, and mild headache; as well as runny nose and radical sneezing.
What is the common cold
100
The main organ in the respiratory system.
What is the lungs
100
The lungs expell this gas from the body.
What is Carbon Dioxide
100
Air enters here.
What is Nostrils
100
Pneumonia inflames air sacs in this organ.
What is the lungs
200
This disease's symptoms include wheezing, chest tightness and coughing; as well as shortness of breath and feeling tired.
What is Asthma
200
This organ filters air you breath and is sometimes called the windpipe.
What is the Trachea
200
The lungs take in this gas.
What is Oxygen
200
It then passes through the nasopharynx and into this.
What is the oral pharynx
200
How long does pneumonia take to clear up?
2-3 weeks
300
This disease makes it when you snore at night you take long pauses to breath in your sleep.
What is Sleep Apnea
300
This organ branches from the trachea and delivers air directly to the lungs.
What is the bronchi
300
This blood cell carries oxygen to the parts of the body where they are needed.
What is Red Blood Cells
300
After the oral pharynx, air passes through this.
What is the glottis
300
How many people in the U.S are afflicted with pneumonia every year?
3 million people
400
This disease's symptoms include:stuffy or runny nose, cough, ear infections (sometimes), low-grade fever, sore throat
What is Respiratory Syncytial Virus
400
The main muscle for breathing.
What is the diaphragm
400
In this function, air is inhaled through the nasal and oral cavities (the nose and mouth). It moves through the pharynx, larynx, and trachea into the lungs. Then air is exhaled, flowing back through the same pathway.
What is Pulmonary Ventilation
400
The flow then heads to the treachea and into this.
What is the bronchi
400
What is it called when you catch pneumonia in a public place?
Community-Associated Pneumonia
500
This disease's symptoms include:A cough that doesn't go, away and gets worse over time, Chest pain that doesn't go away, Coughing up blood, Feeling short of breath, Wheezing, Losing your voice (hoarseness), Getting sick with pneumonia and bronchitis a lot, Swollen neck and face, Not hungry, losing weight without trying, and Feeling tired
What is Lung Cancer
500
The organ that allows gaseous exchange to take place.
What is the Alveolus
500
This function begins when olfactory fibers that line the nasal cavities inside the nose. As air enters the cavities, some chemicals in the air bind to and activate nervous system receptors on the cilia. This stimulus sends a signal to the brain: neurons take the signal from the nasal cavities through openings in the ethmoid bone, and then to the olfactory bulbs. The signal then travels from the olfactory bulbs, along cranial nerve 1, to the olfactory area of the cerebral cortex.
What is Olfaction
500
The cycle then terminates in this organ.
What is alveoli
500
What is it called when you catch pneumonia in a nursing home or hospital?
Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia
