Adams Apple
Thyroid cartilage
Below thyroid cartilage
Cricoid cartilage
Between thyroid and cricoid cartilage
Crock thyroid membrane
Where gas exchange occurs
Alveoli
How many lobes in each king
Right 3 left 2
Breathing muscle
Diaphragm
2 stems supply air to lungs
Bronchi
Smaller and leads from bronchus: bronchi
Bronchioles
Covers each lung
Visceral pleura
Pleurs lines chest cavity
Partiel pleura
Space formed when bloood or air lesk into it
Pleural space
Chest cavity containing heart lungs esophagus and great vessels
Thorax
Gas exchange
Respiration
Movement of sir between lungs and environment
Ventilation
How gas exchange occurs
Diffusion
How body controls breathing
Csf ph drops with too much co2 leading to breathing
