The pleura which is attached to the lungs

Question 21

parietal pleura

Answer 21

the outside cavity which lines the chest cavity

Question 22

ventilation

Answer 22

The process of breathing which brings about changes in pressure within the lungs and alveoli which cause air to move into and out of the lungs

Question 23

tidal volume

Answer 23

volume of air moved in or out of lungs during a respiratory cycle.

Question 24

vital capacity

Answer 24

maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after taking the deepest breath possivle

Question 25

inspiratory capacity

Answer 25

Maximum volume of air that can be inhaled following exhalation of resting tidal volume

Question 26

residual volume

Answer 26

Volume of air that remains in the lungs even after a maximal expiration

Question 27

Foramen ovale

Answer 27

the small opening between the right and left atria that allows blood to bypass the lungs before birth

Question 28

ductus arteriosus

Answer 28
