Respiratory system

Question 1

Upper respiratory tract

Answer 1

Nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, oral cavity, pharynx, glottis, larynx

Question 2

Lower respiratory tract

Answer 2

Trachea, bronchus, bronchioles, aleoli

Question 3

How many lobes on the right lung?

Answer 3

3

Question 4

How many lobes on the left lung?

Answer 4

2

Question 5

Pleura

Answer 5

Membrane around the lungs

Question 6

Pleural fluid

Answer 6

Fluid in between the lungs and pleura

Question 7

Pharynx

Answer 7

Pathway at the beginning of the back of the throat, before the glottis

Question 8

Epiglottis

Answer 8

Flap that covers the opening of the glottis during swallowing so food doesn’t enter the lungs

Question 9

Glottis

Answer 9

Airway through the vocal chords

Question 10

Larynx

Answer 10

Voice box

Question 11

Trachea

Answer 11

Beginning of the lower respiratory tract; above the bronchi; the windpipe

Question 12

Bronchi

Answer 12

Airway branches leading to the left and right lungs

Question 13

Bronchioles

Answer 13

Microscopic tubes leading to alveoli

Question 14

Alveoli

Answer 14

Air sacs of the lungs surrounded by capilaries that exchange gas

Question 15

What part of the brain senses CO2 and pH?

Answer 15

Medulla oblongata and pons

Question 16

Tidal volume

Answer 16

The amount of air entering the lungs during normal inhalation

Question 17

Total lung capacity

Answer 17

The amount of air in the lungs after a maximum inspiration breath

Question 18

Vital capacity

Answer 18

The amount of air that can be exhaled after a deep breath

Question 19

Residual volume

Answer 19

The amount of gas left over in the lungs after maximum expiration

Question 20

Total lung capacity

Answer 20

Vital capacity plus residual volume

Question 21

Emphysema

Answer 21

Destruction of lung tissue. Greater than normal expansion of lungs and poor recoil- increased residual volume

Question 22

Lung compliance

Answer 22

The ease of expanding the lungs- depends on lung tissue elasticity and alveolar tension

Question 23

Diffusion

Answer 23

Exchange of oxygen and CO2 across the alveoli
