Term
4 Processes of Respiration
Definition
1. Ventilation
2. External respiration
3. Transport
4. Internal respiration
Term
Upper Respiratory Tract

Respiratory
Tract

Definition
site of gas exchange
Term
The Nose
• Functions
Definition
Provides an airway for respiration
Moistens and warms the entering air
Filters and cleans inspired air
Serves as a resonating chamber for speech
Houses olfactory receptors
Term

Definition
root, bridge, dorsum nasi, and apex
• Nostrils
Term

Definition
in and posterior to the external nose
• Divided by a midline nasal septum

pharynx
• Roof: ethmoid and sphenoid bones

Definition
During inhalation- Filter, heat, and moisten
air
During exhalation - Reclaim heat and
moisture
Term
Conchae
Definition
protrude from the lateral
walls of the nasal cavity
Increase mucosal area
Enhance air turbulence
Term
Pharynx
Definition
Muscular tube that connects to the nasal cavity to the
esophagus
Term
Pharynx 3 Distinct regions
Definition
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
Term
Nasopharynx
Definition
Passageway from back of the nasal cavity to the
oropharynx
Term
Oropharynx
Definition
• Passageway for food and air from the level of the soft
palate to the epiglottis
Term
Laryngopharynx
Definition
• Passageway for food and air
• Posterior to the upright epiglottis
Term
Larynx
Functions
Definition
1. Provides a patent airway
2. Routes air and food into proper channels
3. Voice production
Term
Larynx/Intrinsic muscles:
Definition
regulate tension on true vocal
cords
Term
Larynx/Extrinsic muscles:
Definition
stabilize the larynx
Term
True vocal cords –
Definition
Opening between vocal folds vibrate to
produce sound as air rushes up from the
lungs
Term
False vocal cords –
Definition
No part in sound production. Help to close
the glottis during swallowing
Term
Pitch is determined by
Definition
the length and tension of the vocal
cords
Term
Loudness depends upon
Definition
the force of air
Term
Sound is “shaped” into language by
Definition
muscles of the
pharynx, tongue, soft palate, and lips
Term
Right main bronchus is _____, ______, and more ________ than the left
Definition
wider, shorter, and more
vertical than the L
Term
Alveoli
Definition
• Surrounded by fine elastic fibers
• Contain pores that -Connect adjacent alveoli
• Allow air pressure throughout the lung to be
equalized
• House alveolar macrophages that keep alveolar
surfaces sterile
Term
Lungs Occupy all of the thoracic cavity except the
Definition
mediastinum
Term
Hilum or Root:
Definition
site of vascular and bronchial attachments
Term
Cardiac notch of left lung:
Definition
concavity that
accommodates the heart
Term
Pleurae -
Definition
thin double-layered serosa
Term
Parietal pleura -
Definition
on thoracic wall and superior face of diaphragm
Term
Visceral pleura -
Definition
external lung surface
Term
Henry's law
Definition
At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
Term
boyle's law
Definition
For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P [pressure] and V [volume] are inversely proportional (while one doubles, the other halves).
Term
Dalton's law
Definition
the pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the gases composing it.
Term
type 2 cell:
Definition
surfactant secreting
Term
anastomosis (plural anastomoses)
Definition
is the reconnection of two streams that previously branched out, such as blood vessels or leaf veins.
Term
parietal
Definition
'belonging to the walls'
Term
serous
Definition
1. pertaining to or resembling serum. 2. producing or containing serum.
Term
Bicarbonate Ion
Definition
HCO3
Term
Hemoglobin
Definition
is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates
Term
Respiration
Definition
exchange of gases,
Term
Ventilation
Definition

Definition
total air in lungs AFTER max inhale (RV included)
Term
vital cap
Definition
max exhale AFTER max inhale
Term
Inspiratory cap
Definition
air you can inhale AFTER normal inhale
