Term
|
Definition
| bone/cartilage divides nasal cavity into right and left parts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| bones on both sides of the septum that curl out dividing the cavity into passageways (3) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| line the nasal cavity and increase its surface are because it has pseudostratified ciliated epithelium/goblet cells. it also contains blood vessels that heat the air as it passes over the membrane to adjust the airs temp to the bodys temp . mucous membranes/cilia also line the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 12 air filled spaces in the cranial bones that are lined with mucous membranes and ipen into the nasal cavity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| passageways for food and air in the back of the throat also helps to produce the sounds of speech (leads to esphogus and larynx) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an enlargement in the airway at the top of the trachea/ below the pharynx. conducts air in and out of the trachea , prevents foreign objects from entering the trachea, also houses vocal cords (made entirely of cartilage) |

Definition
| forms the lower end of the larynx |

| under the thyroid ( behind it) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| false vocal cords, dont produce sound, help close the airway during swallowing |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| true vocal cords, air forces b/t them causes vibrations which make sound waves |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| triangular slit like opening in the true vocal folds which are open during relaxed normal breathing and close when swallowing occurs |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| flaplike tissue that usually stands upright to allow air to enter the larynx it closes during swallowing |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-about 12.5 cm long
-in front of esophagus
- splits into the right and left bronchi
- contains ciliated mucous membranes that trap particles into the pharynx where the mucous can be swallowed
- lined with cartilaginous rings to keep it open continuously |
|
|
Term
| flow of air through the respiratory tract |
|
Definition
1.nose and mouth
2. pharynx
3.larynx
4. trachea
5. right and left primary bronchi
6.bronchioles
7. alveolar duct
8. alveolar sac
9.alveolus
10. capillary network |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| membrane that covers each lung |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| membrane that lines the inner wall of the thoracic cavity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the movement of air from the outside of the body into and out of the bronchial tree/alveoli |
|
|
Term
| inspiration and inhalation |
|
Definition
| air forced into the lungs, pressure inside each alveoli is reduced because the diaphragm moves downward and thoracic cage up and out |
|
|
Term
| expiration and exhalation |
|
Definition
the lungs and thoracic cage recoil and return to their original shape and position. diaphragm rises causing pressure to increase in the alveoli and air is forced out of the body |
|
|
Term
| things can affect the rate of breathing |
|
Definition
- respiratory center in the brain ( breathing is involunary/respiratory muscles are voluntary)
- certain chemaicals in the body fluids
- degree to which lung tissues stretch
- emotional state |

Definition
| this occurs when a person increases their breath-holding time by breathing rapidly and deeply in advance this lowers co2 levels and it will then take longer than usual for the co2 concentration to produce an effect on the respiratory center |
