1. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

2.  is the set of organs that allows a person to breathe and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body. Respiratory System

3. Nose and Nasal cavities Respiratory Organs Mouth Lungs Larynx Pharynx Bronchi and Bronchioles Alveoli Trachea

4.  Warm  Moisturize  Filter air  Hairs and mucus lining the nasal cavity help to trap dust, mold, pollen and other environmental contaminants. Nose and Nasal Cavities

5.  the secondary external opening for the respiratory tract.  Does not warm and moisturize the air, lacks of hair and sticky mucus. Mouth

6.  a muscular funnel that extends from the posterior end of the nasal cavity to the superior end of the esophagus and larynx. Pharynx  Nasopharynx  an airway in the respiratory system.  Oropharynx  located in the posterior of the oral cavity.  Laryngopharynx  is where both food and air pass.

7.  a short section of the airway that connects the laryngopharynx and the trachea.  located in the anterior portion of the neck, just inferior to the hyoid bone and superior to the trachea. Larynx

8.  to provide a clear airway for air to enter and exit the lungs.  connects the larynx to the bronchi and allows air to pass through the neck and into the thorax. Trachea

9.  Carries the air from the trachea into the lungs.  also use the mucus and cilia of their epithelial lining to trap and move dust and other contaminants away from the lungs. Bronchi and Bronchioles

10.  are a pair of large, spongy organs found in the thorax lateral to the heart and superior to the diaphragm.  The interior of the lungs is made up of spongy tissues containing many capillaries and around 300 million tiny sacs known as alveoli. Lungs

11.  are cup-shaped structures found at the end of the terminal bronchioles and surrounded by capillaries. Alveoli

12.  Diaphragm  Intercostal muscle  Internal costal muscle  External coastal muscle Muscles of Respiration

13. Physiology of the Respiratory System

14.  Pulmonary Ventilation  External Respiration  Internal Respiration Process of Gas Exchange

15.  Is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange. Pulmonary Ventilation  Inspiration  During which air is brought to the lungs.  Expiration  During which air is expelled fom the lungs.

16.  is the exchange of gases between the blood in capillaries and the tissues of the body. Internal Respiration

17.  is the exchange of gases between the air filling the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries surrounding the walls of the alveoli. External Respiration

18.  The 2 major respiratory gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, are transported through the body in the blood. Transportation of Gases

19.  Autonomic chemoreceptors in the body monitor the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and send signals to the respiratory center of the brain stem. Homeostatic control of Respiration
