Stomy

Thorax
Chest
To my
Cut into of incision
Nose
Lined filled w music and fine hairs. Acts as filter to moisten and warm fur entering air
Nasal septum
Partition separating the right and left nasal cavities
Pharynx
Good and air passage way. Air enters from nasal cavities and passes through pharynx and larynx. Enters pharynx from mouth and passes into esophagus.
Adenoids
Lymphoid tissue located behind the mouth
Larynx(voicebox)
Location of the vocal cords. Air enters from the pharynx
Epiglottis
Flap of cartilage that automatically covers the opening of and keeps food from entering the larynx during swallowing
Trachea
Passageway for the bronchi
Bronchus
One of two branches from the trachea that conducts air into the lungs where it divides and subdivides.
Bronchioles
Smallest subdivision of bronchial tree
Alveolus
Air sacs at the end of the bronchioles. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanges through the alveolar walls and capillaries
Lungs
Two spongelike organs I. Thoracic cavity. Right lung consists of three lobes and the left lung has two lobes
Pleura
Serous membrane covering each lung and lining the thoracic cavity
Diaphragm
Muscular partition that separated the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. It aids on the breathing process
Mediastinum
Space between the lungs. Contains the heart, esophagus, trachea, great blood vessels, and other
Adenoiditis
Inflammation of the adenoids
Atelectasis
Incomplete expansion
Bronchiectasis
Dilation of the bronchi
Bronchitis
Inflammation of the bronchi
Bronchogenic carcinoma
Cancerous tumor originating in the bronchus
Bronchopneumonia
Diseased state of th bronchi and lungs
