Appendix
Which of the following is considered to be nutrients the body needs?
Lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates
Primary function of respiratory system
Exchange gases, produce vocal sounds, sense of smell, regulate blood PH.
Function of the nasal concha
Supports the mucous membranes that lines the nasal cavity and helps increase its surface area.
Function of Nasal Cavity
Filters, warms, and moistens air entering the respiratory system
Function of Pharynx
passageway for air passing between the nasal cavity and larynx
function of the larynx
voicebox, houses the vocal cords and protects the lower respiratory tract from food
function of trachea
filters the incoming air and moves entrapped particles up into the pharynx where mucus can be swallowed and transports air from the mouth to the lungs
Function of primary/secondary/tertiary bronchi
Primary bronchi, the main branches, deliver air to the lungs. Secondary (lobar) bronchi supply air to the lobes, and tertiary (segmental) bronchi distribute air to the bronchopulmonary segments within each lobe.
Function of lungs
Facilitate gas exchange, movement of oxygen into bloodstream, and removal of carbon dioxide from the body
Function of hard/soft palate
Influencing airflow through the nose and mouth, and by preventing food from entering the respiratory tract during swallowing
function of oral cavity
acts as a secondary entry point for air into the respiratory system, complementing the nasal cavity
Function of Alveoli
Sites of gas exchange between the inhaled air and the bloodstream
Function of diaphragm
To act as the primary muscle of respiration, enabling breathing
Pleural cavity
allow optimal expansion and contraction of the lungs during breathing
cardiac notch
allows space for the heart
