Q

resonate chambers for speech and sounds and assists in the formation of words

A

nose, pharynx

17
Q

a large leaf-shaped place of cartilage that covers the larynx during swallowing to prevent food from entering the larynx

A

epiglottis

18
Q

opening through the larynx (voice box) for the passage of air

A

epiglottis

19
Q

below the pharynx, contains vocal cords, connects the pharynx and the trachea

A

larynx (voice box)

20
Q

tubular passageway for air about 4.5 inches in length. located anterior to the esophagus, and passageway for air

A

trachea (windpipe)

21
Q

large sets of branches that come off the trachea and enter the lungs, passageway for air

22
Q

what bronchi is more vertical, wider, and shorter than the left which means inhaled objects are more likely to get lodged in

A

right bronchi

23
Q

bronchi divide to form smaller tubes called

A

bronchioles

24
Q

serve as site of gas exchange (O2 and Co2) between the air and blood

25
organs where exchange of atmospheric oxygen and waste carbon dioxide take place
lungs
26
caused by one of many viruses. signs and symptoms include fatigue, sneezing, and coughing
common cold (coryza)
27
inflammatory illness of the lung. lung inflammation and abnormal alveolar filling
pneumonia
28
is a disease of uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of the lung.
lung cancer
29
is a reversible obstructive airway disease characterized by periods of coughing, difficulty breathing, or wheezing. caused by spasms of the airway
asthma
30
is an inflammation of the bronchi, primarily caused by genetic factors, air pollution, carbon monoxide, respiratory infection, and deficient antibody levels
bronchitis
31
caused by the bacterium mycobacterium tubercolosis. disease that destroys the lung tissue and pleura replacing it with fibrous connective tissue.
tuberculosis
32
also known as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses. comes on suddenly and may include fever, headache, tiredness, dry cough, and other things
influenza
33
is a progressive disease that can result in debility. the alveoli become stretched out and are not able to push the Co2 and other pollutants out of the lungs
Emphysema
