Q

Epiglottis, thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid, corniculate, and cuneiform cartilages are all?

A

Cartilages of the larynx

26
Q

Vocal cords and the opening between them are called?

27
Q

What produces Sound when Air passes between them?

A

Vocal cords

28
Q

What is the rigid tube that directs air to the lungs?

A

Trachea (windpipe)

29
Q

Supported by 16 to 20 C shaped Cartilaginous rings that reinforce the trachea and keep it from collapsing when you inhale

30
Q

Smooth muscle that contracts or relaxes to adjust airflow is called?

A

Trachealis

31
Q

Mucus traps particles and cilia drives mucus toward the pharynx

A

Mucociliary escalator

32
Q

Lower most tracheal cartilage that directs the airflow to the lungs?

33
Q

The base of this organ rests on the diaphragm, what is it?

34
Q

The apex of this organ projects above the clavicle, It is?

35
Q

The broad surface of the lung pressed against the rib cage?

A

Coastal surface

36
Q

Surface of the lung that faces medially?

A

Mediastinal surface

37
Q

The slit through which bronchus, blood vessels, LV and nerves pass

38
Q

Indentation where the heart presses against the lung?

A

Cardiac impression (notch)

39
Q

This organ is divided into lobes

40
Q

What is the branched system of air tubes arising from the fork in the trachea?

A

Bronchial tree conduction division

41
Q

the main bronchi - the lobar bronchi-Segmental bronchi -Bronchioles - Terminal bronchioles

A

The branches of the bronchial tree

42
Q

These have elastic connective tissue, smooth muscle and cartilage what are they?

43
Q

Structures with alveoli?

A

Respiratory division

44
Q

Respiratory bronchioles - Alveolar ducts - Alveolar sacs - Alveoli

A

Branches of the respiratory division

45
Q

Little sac that provides surface for gas exchange?

46
Q

Allows for rapid gas diffusion between air and blood?

A

Squamous alveolar cells

47
Q

Repairs alveolar epithelium and secretes pulmonary surfactant which prevents alveoli from collapsing when one exhales?

A

Great alveolar cells

48
Q

Keep alveoli free of debris?

A

Alveolar macrophages

49
Q

Barrier between alveolar air and blood, consisting of alveolar cell, basement membrane, and endothelial cell?

A

Respiratory membrane

50
Q

Serous membrane covering the surface of the lung?

A

Visceral Pleura

51
Q

Serous membrane adhering to the inner surface of the rib cage and superior surface of the diaphragm?

A

Parietal pleura

52
Q

Space between the pleura containing pleural fluid to stop friction of lungs?

A

Pleural cavity

53
Q

These reduce friction, create a pressure gradient, and compartmentalize?

A

The pleurae and pleural fluid

54
Q

A repetitive cycle of inspiration and expiration?

A

Pulmonary ventilation (breathing)

55
Q

When the diaphragm contracts it does what?

A

Tenses and flattens

56
Q

Next this enlarges the thoracic cavity and lungs and does what to the pressure producing an inflow of air?

A

Lowers the pressure

57
Q

When the diaphragm relaxes, it does what?

A

It bulges upward again

58
Q

How do the internal and external intercostal muscles aid the diaphragm?

A

By raising the rib cage

59
Q

What do the scalene’s, pectoralis muscles, sternocleidomastoid and serratus anterior do to the ribs during forced inspiration?

A

They elevate the ribs
