Respiratory System

Question 1

Inspiration

Answer 1

-Active Process
-Air Drawn into lungs by negative pressure created by expanding the volume of the thoracic cavity

Question 2

Expiration

Answer 2

-Passive Process
-Inspiratory muscles relax

Question 3

Inspiratory Reserve Volume

Answer 3

Forcefully inhale

Question 4

Expiratory Reserve Volume

Answer 4

Forcefully exhale

Question 5

Tidal volume

Answer 5

Inhaling/exhaling w each breath at rest (like rn)

Question 6

Residual volume

Answer 6

Air always remaining in lungs even after forcefully exhaling (ERV)

Question 7

Inspiratory Capacity

Answer 7

The sum of tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume

Question 8

Functional residual capacity

Answer 8

The sum of residual volume and expiratory residual volume

Question 9

Vital capacity

Answer 9

The sum of tidal volume, expiratory reserve volume, and inspiratory reserve volume

Question 10

Total lung capacity

Answer 10

Sum of all lung volumes

Question 11

Upper respiratory system

Answer 11

-Nose & Nasal Cavity
-Paranasal Sinuses
-Pharynx

Question 12

Lower Respiratory System

Answer 12

-Trachea
-Bronchi and branches
-Lungs and alveoli

Question 13

What is respiration?

Answer 13

O2 in and CO2 out
-Oxygen brought in body and elimination of Carbon Dioxide

Question 14

External Respiration

Answer 14

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between lungs and the blood vessels. Oxygen goes into blood, while CO2 leaves.
In depth:
Inhaling and filling the lung alveoli with oxygen. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the surrounding capillaries. At the same time, CO2 in the blood diffuses into alveoli. Exhale releases CO2

Question 15

Transport of respiratory gases

Answer 15

The blood stream allows oxygen to be delivered to all the tissues of the body, and for CO2 from these tissues to be eliminated.

Question 16

Internal Respiration

Answer 16

CO2 moves from the tissues into the blood and O2 moves from the blood into the tissues.

Question 17

Cellular Respiration

Answer 17

The O2 is used along with glucose as fuel for chemical reaction. This reaction produces energy (ATP) for the body to use. Which is cellular respiration.

Question 18

What zone is involved in gas exhange?

Answer 18

Respiratory Zone

Question 19

Nasal Conchae

Answer 19

-Warms up air
-Humidifies and cleanses

Question 20

Epiglottis

Answer 20

Flap of elastic cartilage that prevents food from entering the respiratory tract.

Question 21

Uvula

Answer 21

Visible tear drop that prevents food from going into nasal cavity

Question 22

Pharynx

Answer 22

Nasopharynx-TOP
Oropharynx-MIDDLE
Laryngopharynx-BOTTOM

Question 23

Larynx

Answer 23

Help you breathe, speak (voice box), and keep food out of your lungs.

Question 24

Trachea

Answer 24

The tube that carries air from the larynx down into the lungs, it continues downward until it reaches a point called the CARINA.

Question 25

Carina

Answer 25

A point in where the trachea splits into Right Primary Bronchus and Left Primary Bronchus.

Question 26

What are Bronchioles?

Answer 26

Smaller airways that lead to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs.

Question 27

Neutral Mechanism

Answer 27

Respiratory centers in the brainstem, which stimulates respiratory muscles (diaphragm)

Question 28

Chemical Mechanism

Answer 28

Chemoreceptors detect CO2 and stimulate respiratory center to trigger breathing.
