respiration Test pt 1 Flashcards
Move blood to the lungs from the heart through the
pulmonary arteries.
Mucus is moved along the respiratory tract by
cilia
An increase in the rate of contractions of the diaphragm and rib muscles would indicate
increased concentration of bicarbonate ion in the blood
The destruction of the cilia lining the respiratory tract would result in
increased debris in the airways.
Alveoli would not be characterized as
muscular
Cilia are found in the
trachea
The vocal chords are found in which structure?
Larynx
The correct sequence of structures through which air passes during inhalation is
trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
The process of inhaling is accomplished in part by
contraction of the rib muscles
