nasal septum
28
forms the floor of nasal cavity; separating the cavity from the oral cavity
hard palate
29
three prominent bone ridges; increase the surface area of the nasal cavity and cause it to churn so that it can be cleansed, humidified, warmed
conchae
30

segmental bronhchi
52
cavity that surrounds each lung
pleural cavity
53
lines the wall of thorax, diaphragm, and mediastinum
parietal pleura
54
covers surface of lung
visceral pleura
55
drain lymph from superficial lung tissue and the visceral pleura
Superficial lymphatic vessels
56
drain lymph from the bronchi to associated connective tissues

57
inhalation
inspiration
58
exhalation
expiration
59
skeletal muscle that separate thoracic cavity to abdominal cavity
diaphragm
60
3 types of breathing
normal, quiet, labored breathing
61
process of measuring volumes of air that movies into and out of the respiratory system
spirometry
62
device that measures respiratory volume
spirometer
63
measures of the amount of air movement during different portions of ventilation
respiratory volumes
64
sum of two or more respiratory volum
respiratory capacities
65
is the volume of air inspired or expired with each breath
Tidal volume
66
At rest, quiet breathing results in a tidal volume of approximately
500 mL
67
is the amount of air that can be inspired forcefully after inspiration of the tidal volume
Inspiratory reserve volume
68
Inspiratory reserve volume is approximately
3000 mL at rest
69
is the amount of air that can be forcefully expired after expiration of the tidal volume
Expiratory reserve volume
70
Expiratory reserve volume is approximately
1100 mL at rest
71
is the volume of air still remaining in the respiratory passages and lungs after the most forceful expiration
Residual volume
72
Residual volume is approximately
1200 mL
73
the tidal volume plus the inspiratory reserve volume, which is the amount of air a person can inspire maximally after a normal expiration
inspiratory capacity
74
inspiratory capacity is approximately
3500 mL at rest
75
is the expiratory reserve volume plus the residual volume, which is the amount of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration
Functional residual capacity
76
Functional residual capacity
approximately 2300 mL at rest
77
the sum of the inspiratory reserve volume, the tidal volume, and the expiratory reserve volume, which is the maximum volume of air a person can expel from the respiratory tract after a maximum inspiration (approximately 4600 mL).
Vital capacity
78
is the sum of the inspiratory and expiratory reserve volumes plus the tidal volume and the residual volume (approximately 5800 mL).
Total lung capacity
