Anatomy Final Practice Questions

What does Boyle’s Law state?

as pressure increases, volume decreases

What makes a true rib a true rib?

it connects directly to the sternum with cartilage

Which direction does the diaphragm move during inhalation?

move down (contracts)

What is the ratio of air volume during quiet respiration vs speech respiration (inhaling and exhaling, respectively)

40/60; 10/90

Which pressure is air pressure directly below the vocal fold?

subglottal

What is the order of the respiratory pathway?

oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchiole, alveoli

What is the primary function of the abdominal muscles during respiration?

contracts the abdomen during expiration

What are the top two vertebrae in the cervical (C1 and C2)?

C1=atlas, C2=axis

What’s the difference between lung capacity and lung volume?

lung volumes are individual measurements, while lung capacities are combined measurements of the volume

How does gravity affect respiration?

helps air move in and out of our lungs more fluidly and easily and gravity helps our anatomical structures of respiration pull down to expand.

ventilation, diffusion, perfusion

external oblique abdominis

What does the diaphragm do during quiet/restful breathing?

lowers

Which of the following is NOT an activity that engages you in forced breathing?

watching tv

Which of the following is the primary place of gas exchange in the lungs?

alveoli

What is the total lung capacity?

residual volume, expiratory reserve volume, inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume

Which of the following prevents the alveoli from collapsing?

residual volume

In the vibration cycle, what are the vocal folds doing during the vertical phase?

inferior-superior

Which of the following is an extrinsic membrane or ligament?

thyrohyoid membrane

According to the Bernoulli Effect, what assists the vocal folds in returning to the resting position?

negative pressure and elasticity

Which 2 options best represent the Bernoulli’s Effect?
