16
Q

Is the open chamber inside the nose where the air first enters the respiratory system.

A

nasal cavity

17
Q

Is the common opening of both the digestive and the respiratory system. It receives air from the nasal cavity and receives air, food, and drink from the oral cavity.

A

Pharynx (Throat)

18
Q

It prevents swallowed materials from entering the lower respiratory tract and regulates the passage of air in and out of the lower respiratory tract.

A

Larynx (Voicebox)

19
Q

Lower Respiratory Tract are

A

Trachea (Windpipe) , Bronchi (Branches of trachea) and Lungs

20
Q

Allows air to flow into the lungs.

A

Trachea (Windpipe)

21
Q

It is the main passageway and carries air into the lungs

A

Bronchi (Branches of trachea)

22
Q

The principal organ of respiration, and on a volume basis they are the largest organs in the body.

A

Lungs

23
Q

responsible for respiratory movements.

A

Diaphragm

24
Q

Functionally, it is divided into two regions:

A

conducting zone and respiratory zone

25
Q

exclusively for air movement and extends from the nose to the bronchioles.

A

conducting zone

26
Q

within the lungs and is where gas exchange between air and blood takes place

A

respiratory zone

27
Q

begins once gas exchange between inspired air and blood is possible. This occurs where alveoli start to form.

A

respiratory zone

28
Q

are well adapted for the movement, cleaning, warming, and humidification of air. Air is simply moved from the external environment to areas deep inside the lungs, which are in contact with blood capillaries

A

Conducting Zone
