Q

Function of sinuses (3)

A
  1. keeps nasal cavity moist

Q

how the larynx produce sound?

A

When air travels it uses it to create pressure that vibrates the vocal cords

Q

Why is the Epiglottis important?

A

It allows food and liquids to enter the digestive tract

20
Q

Where is the trachea

A

leads to the lungs from the larynx

21
Q

why is it important that the trachea is fileable?

A

allows for airflow when breathing

22
Q

what is the bronchi?

A

the passageways that connect your windpipe to your lungs

23
Q

what is the function of the
small bronchi within the lungs?

A

to increase the rate which oxygen leads into the lungs/bloodstream

24
Q

label components of the bronchi (8)

A

Larynx, trachea, primary, secondary, tertiary bronchi, pulmonary artery, vain and alveolar duct

25
The lungs are divided into systems called
lobes
26
why does the right lung have 3 lobes, but the left lung has 2?
the left lung is smaller due to the location of the heart
27
label the lungs (11)
superior lobe, middle lobe, inferior lobe, trachea, superior lobe, primary, secondary, tertiary bronchus, cardiac notch, inferior lobe
28
terminal bronchioles
the last conducting airway
29
terminal bronchioles lead to the alveoli which is
Small air sacs
30
Alveoli are covered in
capillaries, tiny blood vessels which lead to the veins
31
label the bronchiole
Alveolar sacs, Alveoli, pulmonary artery, bronchiole, pulmonary vein
32
respiratory membrane
the surface where gas exchange between the alveoli and blood occurs in the lung
33
respiratory membrane function
allows gases to cross by simple diffusion
34
The diaphragm function
The diaphragm is a muscle that helps you inhale and exhale (breathe in and out)
35
the diaphragm
The major muscle of respiration. your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and flattens, moving down towards your abdomen
36
Inspiratory capacity
The max volume of air that can be inhaled normally
37
Expiratory reserve volume
amount of extra air above normal that you exhale during a forceful breath out
38
explain Boyle's law
as volume increases, pressure decreases, as volume decreases, pressure increases.
39
tidal volume
the amount of air that moves in or out of the lungs with each respiratory cycle.
40
inspiratory reserve volume
the amount of air that enters the lungs when a person inhales past the tidal volume.
41
residual volume
the volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum forceful exhale
42
vital capacity
Max volume of air that can be exhaled after taking the deepest breath
43
Functional residual capacity
Volume remaining in lungs after a normal exhale
44
Total lung capacity
total volume the lungs can hold
45
Explain how air and blood exchange gasses using partial pressure and diffusion
the partial pressure of oxygen is lower in the blood entering the lungs than it is in the alveolar gas, oxygen diffuses into the blood
46
Describe how oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported in the blood
dissolved directly in the blood, bound to plasma proteins or hemoglobin, or converted into bicarbonate.
