Quiz Respiratory System and diseases

Question 1

Its function is to ensure that oxygen enters the body and carbon dioxide leaves the body

Answer 1

Respiratory System

Question 2

It is the path of air from the nose to the lungs. The air is cleansed, warmed, and moistened during this path

Answer 2

Respiratory Tract

Question 3

Parts of the Respiratory Tract

Answer 3

Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, lungs, and alveoli

Question 4

The respiratory tract is divided in two:

Answer 4

Upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract

Question 5

Nasal cavities, pharynx, glottis and larynx are found in which part of the respiratory tract?

Answer 5

In the upper respiratory tract

Question 6

Trachea, bronchus, bronchioles, lungs and alveoli are found in which part of the respiratory tract?

Answer 6

In the lower respiratory tract

Question 7

It contains 2 nasal cavities separated by a septum. Contains cell receptors and the tear glands drain to here.

Answer 7

Nose

Question 8

It is a funnel-shaped passageway that connects the nasal and the oral cavities to the larynx. It is commonly called throat and in here the larynx and the esophagus cross

Answer 8

Pharynx

Question 9

It is a cartilaginous boxlike structure that serves as a passageway for air between pharynx and trachea. At the top of this is the glottis and the epiglottis. It is called the “voice box” because it houses the vocal cords

Answer 9

Larynx

Question 10

It is commonly called “windpipe” and is a tube connecting the larynx and the bronchi. It is a group of C-shaped cartilaginous rings and has a mucous layer with cilia that keeps the lungs clean

Answer 10

Trachea

Question 11

Trachea divides into right and left primary bronchi (singular bronchus) leading to the right and left lungs. The bronchi branch leads to secondary bronchi and at the end to the bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in an elongated space enclosed by air pockets called alveoli. They make up the lungs.

Answer 11

Bronchial Tree

Question 12

They are paired, cone-shaped organs that lie on both sides of the heart within the thoracic cavity. They have lobes which are divided into lobules. Each lobule has a bronchiole with many alveoli.

Answer 12

Lungs

Question 13

Each alveolar sac is made up of epithelial tissue and surrounded by blood capillaries. Gas exchange occurrs between air and blood. Oxygen diffusses across the alveolar wall and enters the bloodstream. CO2 diffusses from blood across alveolar wall to enter the alveoli.

Answer 13

Alveoli

Question 14

Dome-shaped horizontal layer of muscle and connectie tissue that forms the thoracic cavity

Answer 14

Diaphragm

Question 15

Gas exchange between air in the alveoli and pulmonary capillary blood. CO2 is transferred from blood to the lungs

Answer 15

External respiration

Question 16

Oxygen goes from the alveoli to the blood vessels. Hemoglobin takes oxygen and turns it into an oxygenated hemoglobin

Answer 16

External respiration

Question 17

Protein that transports oxygen

Answer 17

Hemoglobin

Question 18

Refers to the gas exchange between blood vessels and tissues.

Answer 18

Internal respiration
