Q

Bronchus

A

Trachea divides into these two tubes, one leads to each lung

17
Q

Trachea

A

Windpipe, passageway for air to the lungs, flexible, made up of cartilage in a ‘C’ form

18
Q

Esophagus

A

Muscular tube that allows food to pass between the pharynx to the stomach

19
Q

Pharynx

A

Throat, the chamber that collects air from the nose and mouth, shared with digestive system

20
Q

Uvula

A

Helps with speech, can contribute to snoring, helps prevent food from entering the nasal cavity

21
Q

Inhalation

A

-Message from brain causes this
-Intercostals contract (up)
-Diaphragm contracts (down)
-Chest cavity increases in volume
-Pressure decreases

22
Q

Exhalation

A

-No message from brain
-Intercostals relax (down)
-Diaphragm relaxes (up)
-Chest cavity decreases in volume
-Pressure increases

23
Q

Tidal volume

A

Amount of air inhaled or exhaled in a normal breath

24
Q

Expiratory Reserve

A

Volume you can force out after a normal exhalation

25
Q

Vital Capacity

A

Volume of maximum inhalation and exhalation

26
Q

Residual Volume

A

Air that remains in the lungs, cannot be forced out
