Ch 10 Respiratory Flashcards
(58 cards)
connect passages b/w aveolar sac. Air cell of lungs
Alveolus
branch of trachea going to each lobe of lung
Bronchus
small branch of secondary bronchus
bronchilole
tiny, hairlike epithelial tissue that filters out foreign matter
cilium
inspiratory reserve volume
complemental air (inspiration)
cartilage of the larynx
cricoid cartilage
separates thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity
diaphragm
fetal blood channel from pulmonary artery to aorta
ductus arteriousus (duct = channel)
leaf-shaped, covers entrance to larynx, prevents food from entering airways
epiglottis
breathing out; expelling air from lungs
expiration/exhalation
space b/w vocal cords, help provide vocal sounds. air passes
glottis
breathing out; expelling air from lungs
inspiration/inhalation
top of trahea, houses bocal cords. voice box
larynx
primary structure of respiratory system
lungs
space in thorax b/w two pleural sacs containing structures as heart and blood vessels
mediastinum (medium, between)
airway b/w chambers (nasal, mouth, larynx). Throat airway to larynx. Upper airway
pharynx
membrane encasing lungs, lines thoracic cavity, enclose pleural cavity (potential space)
pleura
air remaining in lungs after forced respiration
residual volume
inspiration and expiration, distribution of oxygen, removal of co2 from cells
respiration
back part of pharynx (behind)
retropharynx
supplemental air
expiratory reserve volume (opposite of complementary)
organ of sound in birds
syrinx
air inhaled in ordinary respiration
tidal volume
tube extending from larynx. to bronchus - windpipe
trachea
