RESPIRATORY

Question 1

What is the Main Function of The Respiratory System

Answer 1

To supply blood with oxygen and give off carbon dioxide

Question 2

moving in and out of air. Also called as breathing

Answer 2

Pulmonary Ventilation

Question 3

Oxygen diffuses from blood vessels > RBC to tissues. Carbon

dioxide diffuses from the tissues to the blood vessles.

Answer 3

Internal Respiration

Question 4

Oxygen diffuses from the lungs to the blood vessels > RBC.

Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood vessels to the lungs

Answer 4

External Respiration

Question 5

What is The other Function Of The Respiratory System

Answer 5

2. Regulation of Blood pH
3. Voice Production
4. Olfaction (Smell)
5. Innate Immunity

Question 6

area between the eyebrows

Answer 6

Root

Question 7

tip of the nose

Answer 7

Apex

Question 8

lateral portion of the nares

Answer 8

Alae

Question 9

Opening of The Nose

Answer 9

Nares

Question 10

Jutting external portion is supported by bone and cartilage.

Answer 10

NOSE

Question 11

What are the functions of nose?

Answer 11

1. provides an airway for respiration
2. moistens and warms entering air
3. filters and cleans inspired air
4. serves as a resonating chamber for speech
5. houses the olfactory (smell) receptors

Question 12

separates the nasal cavity from right to left

Answer 12

Nasal Septum

Question 13

ridges of the nasal cavity which function to filter, warm

and moisture air.

Answer 13

Conchae/Turbinates

Question 14

When foreign substances (e.g. dust particles) enters the nasal cavity, the
sensory receptors will be stimulated, thus, action potential are made.

Answer 14

Sneeze Reflex

Question 15

Common passageway of both respiratory and digestive systems.
Approximately 13cm in length extending from the base of the skull to the sixth vertebrae.
Also known as “throat”

Answer 15

PHARYNX

Question 16

Few air passes through to prevent too much gas contents to the digestive tract

Answer 16

Laryngopharynx

Question 17

Exposure to bright lights (e.g. sunlight) can make pupils constrict. When
pupils constrict, nasal membranes can be stimulated. If this happens, sensory
receptors will be stimulated as well.

Answer 17

Photic Sneeze Reflex (Autosomal-Dominant Compelling Helio Ophthalmic
Outburst)

Question 18

Extends from uvula to epiglottis to oral cavity

Answer 18

Oropharynx

Question 19

• Air passageway only
  During swallowing, uvula and soft palate runs superiorly which closes the
  nasopharynx and prevents food from coming inside

Answer 19

. Nasopharynx

Question 20

Has cartilage rings to help protect and support trachea from collapsing despite of the
pressure changes inside.

Answer 20

Connective Tissue

Question 21

This is part prevents food from entering the larynx.

Answer 21

Epiglottis

Question 22

Located in the anterior throat and it connects superiorly to the pharynx and
inferiorly to the trachea.

Answer 22

LARYNX

Question 23

What are the 3 Unpaired Cartilage of Larynx

Answer 23

Thyroid Cartilage
Cricoid Cartilage
Epiglottis

Question 24

What are the 3 Paired Cartilage of Larynx

Answer 24

1. Cuneiform
2. Corniculate
3. Arytenoid

Question 25

Descends from the larynx through the neck and into the mediastinum.

Answer 25

TRACHEA

Question 26

is lined with pseudostratified columnar which is made up of cilia and goblet cells (produces mucus).

Answer 26

trachea

Question 27

Action potential will be carried by the sensory neurons to the vagus nerve and medulla oblongata. From there, action potential will be processed.

Answer 27

Cough Reflex

Question 28

is produced by the pleural membranes that functions to act as a lubricant and to help hold the pleural membrane together.

Answer 28

Pleural fluid

Question 29

Process of measuring volumes of air that moves into and out of the respiratory tract.

Answer 29

SPIROMETRY

Question 30

Process of moving air into and out of the lungs.

Answer 30

VENTILATION

Question 31

tendency for an expanded lung to decrease in size.

Answer 31

Lung Recoil

Question 32

What are reason why Lungs decrease in size.

Answer 32

Connective tissue of lungs is made up of elastic fibers 2. Alveoli has surface tension (elastic property of fluid surface wherein water molecules are attracted to each other. Since there is surface tension in the alveoli, water molecules compressed, so as alveoli – recoil)

Question 33

– amount of air movement during different portions of | ventilation

Answer 33

o Respiratory/Pulmonary Volume

Question 34

– sum/combination of two or more respiratory | volume

Answer 34

Respiratory/Pulmonary Capacity
