SCIENCE RESPIRATORY

Cards (33)

  • NOSE
    • main gateway of the respiratory system
  • PHARYNX
    • common opening for both food and air
  • EPIGLOTTIS
    • flap of cartilage, guards the path of the pharynx to ensure that food and air will enter their respective correct passages.
  • LARYNX
    • voice box, composed of the vocal cords that vibrate and produce sounds as air passes through
  • TRACHEA
    • Cylindrical tube that is 5 inches long
    • Composed of several rings of cartilage.
  • AIR SAC
    • functional unit of the lung
  • Each AIR SACS consist of many tiny outpocketings called alveoli.
  • LUNGS
    • are cone-shaped organs for respiration
  • Lungs are covered with two-layered membrane called PLEURA
  • HILUM
    • slit like openings, where each primary bronchus inserts
  • DIAPHRAGM
    • sheet of smooth muscle located below the lungs. It works with the lungs during the breathing process
  • BREATHING
    • process of drawing air into the lungs (inhalation) and its corresponding expulsion (exhalation)
  • Two phases of Breathing
    Inhalation & Exhalation
  • CELLULAR RESPIRATION
    • process of Oxygen goes to the mitochondria of the cell to use it in releasing energy from glucose.
  • CHRONIC DISEASE
    • a condition that persists for a long period of time (lasting for at least three months and beyond)
  • FOOD
    • main source of energy, vitamins, and minerals that body needs for growth and life-continuing metabolic processes.
  • EXERCISE
    • physical activity that is planned, structured, done regularly, and whose is to maintain good health
  • TAR
    • deposits clog up to the alveoli
  • NICOTINE
    • causes the constriction of the blood vessels in the lungs, slowing the flow of blood in the lungs
  • SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE
    • Type of lifestyle with no or irregular physical activity.
    • A lack of physical activity is one of the leading causes of Cardiovascular disease.
  • SMOKING
    • This habit causing respiratory problems like coughing and wheezing and can lead to lung diseases (bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia, and cancer
  • PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
    • Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that result in energy expenditure significantly beyond or above the energy spent when at rest
  • BLOOD
    • A liquid tissue
    • Medium of circulation
    • Main Function: transport materials and fight infections
  • TEMPORAL ARTERY
    • at the temple above and to the outer side of the eye
  • FACIAL ARTERY
    • at the point of crossing the mandible
  • CAROTID ARTERY
    • on the both sides of the neck
  • BRACHIAL ARTERY
    • on the inner side of the biceps
  • RADIAL ARTERY
    • on the radial side of the wrist
  • FEMORAL ARTERY
    • on the groin
  • POPLITEAL ARTERY
    • behind the knee
  • DORSALIS PEDIS ARTERY
    • at the anterosuperior aspect of the foot
  • LUB
    • Vibrations of the ventricles when they contract and the closing of the AV valves
  • DUB
    • Vibrations of the closing of the SL valves produce it.
