Alveoli
Terminal bronchioles lead into the respiratory zone structures cold air sex
Apex
Narrow superior portion of each lung
Asthma
Chronically inflamed hypersensitive bronchial passages
Atelectasis
Lungs collapsed
Bronchi
Formed by the divisions of trachea
Bronchioles
Smallest conducting passageways
Soft Plate
Separation of nasal and oral cavity unsupported posterior part
Vital capacity
Total amount of exchangeable air
Cillia
Tiny hair like projections on cell surface that moves in a wave like manner
Conchae
Nasal cavity uneven walls with three mucous covered projections
Epiglottis
Guardian of airways protects top opening of larynx
Expiration
When air leaves the Lungs
External respiration
Gas exchange is being made between the blood in alveoli
Glottis

Trachea

Vocal folds
Larynx form a pair of folds

Larynx
Voicebox allows air in food into proper channels
Pulmonary ventilation
Air moving in and out of lungs know as breathing
Respiratory
Carries our gas exchange
Cardin dioxide
Gas you breath out
Spirometer
