Respiratory Locations
The area in which air is taken in, warmed, moisturized, and filtered.
Nasal cavity
the large muscle that controls air flow into and out of the lungs
diaphragm
___________ surround our alveoli and allow gas exchange to occur between the respiratory and circulatory systems
capillaries
The spontaneous exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide is called? Where does it take place?
diffusion, takes place in the alveoli
Inflammation of the bronchial tubes causing people to cough up thick mucus
bronchitis
The part of the respiratory system that is connected to the nose and mouth and is shared with the digestive system.
Pharynx
As we exhale, the muscles in our diaphragm and along our rib cage do what?
The muscles relax
the diaphragm contracts during _____________
Inhalation
The chemical reaction where glucose and oxygen are consumed and carbon dioxide and water are produced?
respiration
chronic respiratory disease in which the brochial tubes contract and spasm, causing inflammation
asthma
True or False: Diffusion of gases happens in the alveoli.
TRUE
The trachea is lined with rings of this flexible connective tissue. These rings help keep it sturdy and protected
Cartilage
What are the jobs of the respiratory system?
to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide
alveoli, emphysema
The is the harmful growth of cells in the lungs causing turmor and damaging growths.
lung cancer
Commonly called the windpipe, this structure is strengthened by rings of cartilage.
trachea
What are the two tubes that lead from the bottom of the trachea to each lung?
The bronchi
The condition where a person's airways become inflamed, narrow, and swollen, and extra mucus is produced?
asthma
lungs
Smoking affects the oxygen in our blood how?
carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin making it hard for oxygen to get into cells
These air passages split from the windpipe at the bottom of the trachea and go into the lungs
bronchi
What are the smaller air passages that branch off each bronchi within the lungs?
Bronchioles
A. Increases ventilation of the lungs and is initiated by need for increased oxygen levels in your blood;
B. caused by irritation to the mucous membranes of the nose or throat.
C. Caused by spasm of the diaphram
a. What is a yawn
b. What is sneeze
c. What is a Hiccup?
what gas is exchanged from the capillaries to the alveoli?
carbon dioxide
CO2
What is the hollow muscular organ forming an air passage to the lungs and holding the vocal chords?
larynx
tiny balloon-like sacs where gas exchange occurs AND
We inoculate babies against this Respiratory disease to prevent the alveoli from inflaming
