Respitory System Flashcards
What is the movement of air through the lungs called
Ventilation
What is the gas to alveoli exchange called
External respiration
What is the blood to cell exchange called
Internal respiration
What is a protective part of the respiratory system
Mucus
Another function of respiratory system
Voice production
What decides the nasal cavity
Nasal septum
Upper or lower respiratory tract
Nasal passage
Upper
Upper or lower respiratory tract
Bronchial tube
Lower
Upper or lower respiratory tract
Pharanx
Upper
What is the deciding line of the throat
Larynx
Why is nose breathing better
WARMS AIR
Mucus
What also opens to the nasal cavity
The sinus
Why when crying do we sniff
Tears go into nose
What is between the eye and brings tears to nose
Nasocrimal duct
Where and what does the olfactory receptor do
Roof of nose and it gives sense of smell
What causes nose air to swirl
Choncha
What part of the respiratory system is shared with the digestive system
Pharanx
What is the gland on the larynx
Thyroid
What cover the trachea when swallowing
Epiglottis
What produces sound
Vocal cords
Where are the vocal cords
Larynx
The trachea is held open by cartilage what side of the trachea does not have cartilage
Back side
What part of lungs do gas exchange
Alveoli
What volume goes up when your older
Dead space
What’s the air passage way with the largest diameter
Trachea
What causes bronchi tubes to be skinny
Smooth muscle
What do cilliated cells do
Mucus elevator
Which lung has 3 lobes
Right
What is the definition of the level of exercise that you can do without blood ph changing
Anaerobic threshold
What are the muscles that help inhale
Diaphragm and external intercostalis
When breathing normal what causes a exhale
Recoil of elastic fibers
What muscles are active when forcefully exhaling
Internal intercostalis
What are the names of the 2 membranes on the lungs
Visceral and perietal pleura
What’s the number one regulator of breathing rate
Carbon dioxide
How many blood supply circuits do the lungs have
Two
What is the chemical that stops the alveoli from shutting
Surfactant
What are the two causes that make us take air into our lungs
Vacuum and atmospheric pressure
What are the three ways to move carbon dioxide in the body
Carbonic acid
Hemoglobin
Floating
What can you do to increase vital capacity
Exercise/training
When you normally exhale what is the extra air in your lungs called
Residual volume
What’s normal breathing called
Tidal volume
What is the extra air you can forcefully breathe out called
Expiratory reserve
What cases the whole carbon dioxide movement and breathing to occur
Diffusion
True/false
Will an increase of fluid. Increase the rate of gas exchange
False
True/false
The increase of thickness of lungs will increase gas exchange
False
True/false
With the increase of surface area increase the rate of gas exchange
True
True/false the temperature of the gas will effect the rate of gas exchange
False
How does carbon monoxide travel
Hemoglobin
Why is carbon monoxide poisonous
It doesn’t let go
What is the disease that decreases the surface area of alveoli
Emphysema
What is the main way of oxygen transport
Hemoglobin
