true or false: does the respiratory system filter, warm, and humidify the air
true
true or false: is the respiratory system in charge of ventilation and gas exchange
true
is the respiratory system in charge of sound production
yes
what sense is the respiratory system in charge of
smell
what are the types of respiration
external and internal respiration
what type of respiration is the exchange of O2 and CO2 between the air in the alveoli and blood in the pulmonary capillaries
external
what type of respiration refers to the exchange of O2 and CO2 between tissue capillaries and tissue cells
internal
upper airway content
nasal and oral cavity, and pharynx
lower airway content
trachea, bronchi, and lungs
what does the nasal airway do
warm, filter, and moisten inspired air and resonance
what does the oral cavity do
articulation and resonance
what does the pharynx do
resonance and airway protection
what breathing pump division contains, conducts, and exchanges air and consists of the pulmonary airways and the lungs
pulmonary apparatus
what breathing pump division consists of the rib cage, diaphragm, and the abdominal wall
chest wall
what material is the lungs made up of
cones of spongy, porous, and elastic material
what membrane covers the lungs
pleura
t or f : the pleura links the lungs to the thoracic wall
true
what are the 2 types of pleura
parietal and visceral
what are the pleura membranes made of
slippery tissue that secretes fluid that reduces friction
what makes up the inspiratory muscles
diaphragm, (rib cage), external intercostals, sternocleidomastoid, and the scalenes
what makes up the expiratory muscles
(rib cage) , internal intercostals, (abdominal wall), rectus abdominus, external and internal obliques, and the transversus
what muscles expand the rib cage
inspiratory muscles
what muscles compress the rib cage
expiratory muscles
what are the 3 dimensions of the thorax that are increased through muscle contraction during inspirations
antero-posterior, lateral, and vertical
what muscle is the primary inspiratory muscle
the diaphragm
