Alveoli

Diaphragm
Long Flat Muscle The That Separates The Abdominal Cavity From The Thoracic Cavity
Vital Capacity
The Maximum Anount Of Air A Person Can Expel From The Lungs After A Maximum InhAlation It Is Equal To The Sum Of The Inspiratory Reserve Volume Tidal Volume The Expiratory Reserve Volume
Residual Volume
Amount Of Air Left In The Lungs After A Forced Exhalation This Volume Can Not Be Measured Only Calculated
Tidal Volume
The Difference Between Volumes After a Normal Inhalation And A NormAl Exhalation
Epiglottis
A Flap Of Cartilage At The Root Of The Lung Which Is Depressed During Swallowing To Cover The Opening Of The Windpipe
