What does the respiratory system include?
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes and lungs
Three parts of the pharynx
upper nasopharynx, middle oropharynx, lower laryngopharynx
larynx
voice box, is a muscular structure located between the pharynx and the trachea and contains the vocal cords
epiglottis
a flap of cartilaginous tissue
it protects against food and liquid being inhaled into the lungs
thyroid cartilage
adam’s apple
trachea
windpipe
the passageway for air that extends from the pharynx and larynx down to the main bronchi
alveoli
tiny air sacs at the end of bronchioles
lung
a total collection of the bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli, They are spongy to the touch because they contain air
respiratory therapist
measure lung volumes to aid in determining the functioning level of the respiratory system
the passageway for food, liquids and air
pharynx
how many lobes in the right and left lung
right 3
left 2
the air sacs at the end of the bronchial tree
alveoli
term for the double membrane around the lungs
pluera
small branches of the bronchi
bronchioles
myc/o
fungus
muc/o
mucus
pneum/o
air
