RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Cards (52)

  • moving air into and out of the lungs
    PULMONARY VENTILATION
  • gas exchange between the lungs and the blood
    EXTERNAL RESPIRATION
  • transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and tissues
    TRANSPORT
  • gas exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues
    INTERNAL RESPIRATION
  • the sensation of smell occurs when airborne molecules are drawn into the nasal activity
    OLFACTION
  • external nose

    UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT
  • bronchi
    LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT
  • larynx
    LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT
  • internal nose - nasal cavity

    UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT
  • Pharynx
    UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT
  • lungs
    LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT
  • alveoli
    LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT]
  • passaageway for air
    NOSE
  • passageway for food and air'
    MOUTH
  • covers larynx during swallowing
    EPIGLOTTIS
  • filters, warms, and ,moistens air

    NASAL CAVITY
  • common passageway for air, food, and liquid
    PHARYNX
  • production of sound

    LARYNX
  • main airway or windpipe
    TRACHEA
  • branching airways
    BRONCHI
  • air sacs for gas exchange
    ALVEOLI
  • cover the lungs and line the chest cavity
    PLEURAL MEMBRANES
  • moves the ribs during respiration
    INTERCOSTAL MUSCLE
  • allows air to pass into the lungs
    TRACHEA
  • maintains an open airway and allows you to talk and make sounds when air moves in and out
    LARYNX
  • branch into lungs
    bronchi
  • responsible for the removal of oxygen from the air and passes into your bloodstream
    LUNGS
  • made of cartilage and skin and is lined with mucous membranes
    EXTERNAL PORTION OF THE NOSE
  • formed by frontal, nasal, and maxillary bones
    bony framework of the nose
  • it is the open chamber inside the nose where air first enters the respiratory system
    NASAL CAVITY
  • increase the surface area for air to be in contact with mucous membrane and aids in humidification and filtration
    NASAL CONCHAE
  • creates pathways for air to flow through and play a role in drainage from the paranasal sinuses and nasolacrimal ducts
    NASAL MEATUSES
  • produces mucous to trap dust, pollen, and other particles, and contains cilia that help move the mucus and trapped particles toward the pharynx for disposal
    MUCOUS MEMBRANE
  • contains sensory cells responsible for detecting odors and facilitating the sense of smell
    OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM
  • a funnel shaped tube that is about 13cm long that starts from the internal nares and extends to the circoid cartilage

    PHARYNX
  • aids in defending against infections
    PHARYNGEAL TONSIL
  • the voice box or the triangular chamber in front upper part of the neck; passageway that connects the pharynx and trachea
    LARYNX
  • It is the landmark used to make an emergency airway called tracheotomy
    CIRCOID CARTILAGE
  • inflammation of vocal cords
    LARYNGITIS
  • it is composed of 16-20C shaped pieces of cartilages and contains cilia pseudostratified epithelium; a tube that connects larynx to the bronchi
    TRACHEA
