Trachea

made up of 16-20 cartilaginous C-rings

Pleurae

double layered serous membrane that surrounds each lung

Terminal branchioles

end of conducting zone

Respiratory bronchioles

Start of respiratory zone

Alveolar bundles

structure in lungs surrounded by capillary network

Smooth muscle

muscle that allows for bronchodilation and bronchoconstriction to happen

Simple squamous epithelium

Type I Alveolar cells

Simple cuboidal epithelium

Type II Alveolar cells

Surfactant

Chemical, 90% lipids, make sure lungs don’t lose enough air to collapse

Diaphragm

thin musculomembranous dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity

Inhalation

Diaphragm contracts, moves inferiorly

Exhalation

Diaphragm relaxes, reduces space

Lungs

pair of spongy organs separated by fissures

Right lung

has three lobes, is slightly broader and larger

Left lung

has two lobes, longer and cardiac notch

right lobe

cancer is more likely to develop is this lobe

Tidal volume

normal air you breathe during normal quite breathing

Inspiratory reserve

taking in a huge or deep breathe—> maximum you can take in

Expiratory reserve

The air you blow out after a deep breath

Residual volume

the air amount of air remaining in the lungs after maximal expiration

Alveoli

gives the lungs a spongy feel and appearance

Decompression sickness

What does an accumulation of nitrogen gas in the joints, blood, and body result in?

Mouth

The oropharynx is located behind the _____.

Simple squamous epithelium

the type of tissue that lines the alveoli and allows for an efficient gas exchange to occur

Diaphragm

Spasms here cause hiccups

Carbon dioxide

A tasteless, odorless, colorless gas that is poisonous

Bronchodilators

improve pulmonary airflow

Bronchioles

Supportive cartilage disappears from the bronchial tree at the level of the ________.

N: 78%, O: 21%, Ar: 0.09%, CO2: 0.04%

Composition of air

Ethmoid bone

the majority of the nasal conchae belongs to what bone

Larynx

organ referred to as voice box because it produces sound

Pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles

The pathway air travels to the alveoli in the correct order

Vital capacity

Volume of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inhalation

Epiglottis

Acts as a lid to prevent aspiration of food into the trachea

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

Type of epithelium present in respiratory mucosa

Cystic fibrosis

Inherited disease that affects the entire body, but especially the pancreas, respiratory system, and swear glands

Asthma

Constricted bronchi

Laryngitis

Infection of the voice box

Tuberculosis

A species of genus mycobacteriaceae
