Q 
When foreign substances (e.g. dust particles) enters the nasal cavity, the sensory receptors will be stimulated, thus, action potential are made.Action potential will be carried by the sensory neurons to the trigeminal nerve and medulla oblongata. From there, action potential will be processed. The motor neurons will carry the action potential that will cause the uvula and soft palate to move inferiorly to open the airway.
A. Sneeze Reflex

Q 
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. Action potential will be carried by the sensory neurons to the trigeminal nerve and medulla oblongata. From there, action potential will be processed. The motor neurons will carry the action potential that will cause the uvula and soft palate to move inferiorly to open the airway.

18
Q

the tendency for an expanded lung to decrease in size

A

Lung recoil

19
Q

extending superiorly to a point about 2.5 cm above the clavicle.

20
Q

Site of gas exchange

21
Q

Process of moving air into and out of the lungs.

A

Ventilation

22
Q

lines chest wall, mediastinum and diaphragm.

A

Parietal Pleura

23
Q

lines the surface of the lungs

A

Visceral Pleura

24
Q

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

A

Pleural Fluid

25
Q

is important to reduce surface tension. Too much surface tension can lead to lung collapse.

A

Surfactant

26
Q

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

A

Spirometery

27
Q

amount of air movement during different portions of ventilation

A

Pulmonary Volume

28
Q

sum/combination of two or more respiratory volume

A

Pulmonary Capacity

29
Q

amount of air inspire/expired each breath.

A

Tidal Volume

30
Q

amount of air that can be inspired forcefully beyond resting tidal volume.

A

Inspiratory Reserve Volume

31
Q

amount of air that can be expired forcefully beyond resting tidal volume.

A

Expiratory Reserve Volume

32
Q

the volume of air that is still remaining in the lungs after maximum expiration.

A

Residual Volume

33
Q

Expiratory + Residual

A

Functional Residual Capacity

34
Q

Tidal + Inspiratory

A

Inspiratory Capacity

35
Q

Inspiratory + Tidal + Expiratory

A

36
Q

Vital + Residual

A

Total Lung Capacity

37
Q

Diaphragm contracts

A

Inhalation

38
Q

The diaphragm moves superiorly and relaxes

A

Exhalation

39
Q

Inferior to the thyroid. It forms the base of the larynx

A

Cricoid Cartilage

40
Q

Largest and is attached to the hyoid bone. Adam’s apple

A

Thyroid Cartilage

41
Q

Prevents food from entering the larynx.

A

Epiglottis

42
Q

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

A

Nasopharynx

43
Q

Extends from uvula to epiglottis to oral cavity. Food and air passageway

A

Oropharynx

44
Q

Food and air passageway. Few air passes through to prevent too much gas contents to the digestive tract

A

Laryngopharnyx
