- Bronchi
- Pharynx
- Bronchioles
- Larynx
- Alveoli
Nose - Nasal Cavity - Pharynx - Larynx - Trachea - Bronchi - Bronchioles - Alveoli
Which lung is WIDER?
Right lung
Which lung is LONGER?
Left lung
Is the aerobic breakdown of glucose in the mitochondria to make ATP
Cellular Respiration
Are the organs in animals that exchange gases with the environment
Respiratory systems
Is an everyday term that is often used to mean “breathing”
Respiration
The process of gas exchange between the atmosphere and body cells

Lower
It is supported by bone and cartilage. It provides an entrance for air.
Nose
Hair in the nose that filters air
Cilia
It separates the two nostrils
Nasal septum
It is posterior to the nose. Its cavity has passageways. It is lined with mucous membrane and help increase the surface area available to warm and filter incoming air.
Nasal cavity
Air filled spaces in skull. It is open to nasal cavity. It is also lined with mucus. Its functions are to lighten the skull and to personate the voice
Sinuses
It is where food and air pass through. It helps produce speech sounds.
Pharynx
Flap of tissue that opens and closes when food/air enters the body
Epiglottis
It is between the pharynx and trachea. It prevents particles from entering the trachea.
Larynx
Changing tension controls pitch
Vocal chords
It is anterior to esophagus. It extends to the thoracic cavity. It separates to the right and left bronchi. The inner wall is lined with cilia and mucus
Trachea
How many cartiginous rings does the trachea have?
20
It is filled with capillaries. Where gas exchange happens.
Alveoli
How air enters your body. Branched tubes leading from trachea to alveoli.
Bronchial tree
It is separated by the mediastinum. It is enclosed by diaphragm and thoracic cage (ribs).
Lungs
How many lobes does the RIGHT lung have?
3
How many lobes does the LEFT lung have?
2
It is the fluid that covers the lungs. It protects the lungs from bones (ribs) since the lungs are delicate
Pleura
Flow of air into lungs. Diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract.
Inhilation/Inspiration
Air leaving lungs. As muscles relax, air is pushed out of lungs.
Exhalation
