Q

Alveoli

A

surfactant (break surface tension of water)
the site of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the respiratory system
Air sacks covered by capillaries.
Surface area equivalent to a tennis court.
Air filled chambers
tiny sacs of lung tissue specialized for the movement of gases between air and blood

can result in lungs bleeding

22

23
Q

Pharynx

A

opening between back of nose and throat

Upper

24
Q

Process

A

ventilation, gas exchange in lungs, transport of gas, gas exchange in tissues

25
Epiglottis
covers trachea, prevents inhaling while eating | lower
26
TB
lumps of bacteria in lungs
27
emphysema
destruction of alveolar walls (with bronchitis=COPD)
28
experiatory reserve
deep breathe out 1,100 Amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation
29
functions of respiratory system
gas exchange, immunity, regulation of blood pH, olfaction, voice production
30
left lung
2 lobes | lower
31
inspiratory reserve
Amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inhalation (deep breathe in) 3,000ml
32
cartilaginous rings
trachea | allow for the expansion of the underlying esophagus when food or liquids pass through
33
Bronchioles
end in alveoli | small bronchi
34
srep
bacterial infection and inflammation
35
ventilation
``` inspiration/inhalation expiration/exhalation diaphragm external interclasts change in vol=change in pressure high to low ```
36
upper
nasal cavities and pharynx
37
lower
epiglottis, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs
