area lined by olfactory epithelium in the superior portion of the nasal cavity that provides the sense of smell

20
Q

air flows between the conchae between the

A

superior
middle
inferior nasal meatuses

21
Q

hard palate

A

forms the floor of nasal cavity and separates the nasal and oral cavities

22
Q

soft palate

A

extends posterior to hard palate and divides the superior nasopharynx from the rest or the pharynx

23
Q

chonae

A

posterior opening of the nasal cavity into the pharynx

24
Q

pharynx

A

chamber shared by the digestive and respiratory systems

25

nasopharynx
oropharynx
laryngopharynx

26
Q

A

adams apple

29
Q

ligaments of larynx

A

vestibular
vocal

30
Q

how is sound produced

A

air passing through the glottis vibrates the vocal folds

31
Q

speech is produced by

A

phonation
articulation
amplification of sound in the pharynx, oral cavity, nasal cavity

32
Q

laryngitis

A

inflammation of the larynx

33
Q

trachea (windpipe)

A

tough flexible tube that extends from the cricoid cartilage to the mediastinum

34
Q

submucosa

A

thick layer of connective tissue that surrounds the mucosa

35
Q

tracheal cartilages

A

C shaped cartilages that stiffen tracheal walls to keep trachea open and protect the airway

36
Q

ends of tracheal cartilage are connected by an elastic

A

annular ligament nd a trachealis muscle

37
Q

bronchioles

A

smallest branches of the bronchial tree

38
Q

terminal bronchioles

A

smallest conducting branches

39
Q

bronchoconstriction

A

reduces luminal diameter of the airway

40
Q

asthma

A

causing severe bronchoconstriction due to excessive stimulation of the airway smooth muscles
