Respiratory Health
This results in the swelling and irritation of the membrane surrounding the lungs
What is pleurisy?
The key function of the respiratory system
What is gas exchange?
The "throat"
What is the pharynx?
The skeletal system, specifically bone marrow, is responsible for producing this.
What are blood cells?
These two bones make up the lower arm
What are the radius and ulna?
This respiratory condition results in the constriction of the bronchi and bronchioles, reducing the flow of air into/out of the lungs
What is asthma?
This describes the ability of hemoglobin in the blood to hold on to the oxygen
What is oxygen-affinity?
The "voice box"
What is the larynx?
Also known as "brittle bones"
What is Osteoporosis?
The thin bone in the lower leg that acts as a brace as well as an attachment point for various muscles
What is the fibula?
This illness can spread to other parts of the body thanks to the lymphatic and cardiovascular system
What is lung cancer?
This structure allows easy diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide
What are capillaries?
The site at which external respiration takes place
What is the alveoli?
These connect your muscles to the bone
What are tendons?
The most inferior portion of the pelvis
What is the coccyx?
This illness causes the alveoli to become filled with fluid, making gas exchange difficult
What is pneumonia?
These two (types of muscles) are responsible for controlling the volume and pressure of the lungs when breathing
What are diaphragm and intercostal muscles?
During internal respiration, the partial pressure of oxygen is highest here
What is the blood?
This is characterized by swelling in the joint
What is a sprain?
This includes the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum
What is the axial skeleton?
This illness results in the rupturing of alveoli, decreasing surface area for gas exchange
What is emphysema?
This refers to the amount of air a person can consciously exchange (inhale/exhale)
What is vital capacity?
This attaches the trachea to the larynx
What is the cricoid cartilage?
The five main functions of the skeletal system.
What is:
Structure
Storage/support
Movement
Blood production
Protection
The outermost layer of the bone
What is the Periosteum?
