Cells -
The basic unit of structure and function in all living things

Alveoli -
tiny air sacs in the lungs where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place

Ventilation -
The exchange of O2 and CO2 in the lungs

Trachea -
The windpipe, which connects the larynx to the lungs

Breathing (inhaling and exhaling) -
process of bringing oxygen into the lungs

CO2 -
Waste product of human body

The respiratory system mediates the uptake of oxygen needed for _________and the release of CO2
back into the atmosphere. -
Metabolism

Air enters through -
the nasal openings and then move into the nasal cavity then travels past the
pharynx(throat) into the trachea.

Bronchi -
The main passageways directly attached to the lungs

Bronchioles -
Small passages in the lungs that connect bronchi to alveoli

Heart -
muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body

Mediastinum -
Area between the lungs

Pleura -
A membrane around the lungs and inside the chest cavity

Capillaries -
Small vessels that connect smaller arteries (arterioles) to smaller veins (venues) and
carry out gas exchange.

,Diffusion -
The passive movement of a substance from an area of HIGH concentration to an
area of LOW concentration.

Passive Transport (Diffusion) -
movement across a cell membrane from high to low. Does NOT use energy (ATP).

The right lung has _____lobes? -
3 (superior, middle, inferior)

The left lung has _____lobes? -
2 (superior and inferior)

The lungs are _______to the heart? (position) -
Medial

The lungs are located in the ________cavity. -
thoracic

Each lung is contained within a tough, protective double membrane called______and contains
________. -
Pleura, pleural fluid

The heart's pulmonary system sends blood _____in oxygen and ______in CO2 to the lungs when
oxygen is picked up and CO2 is dropped off. -
Low, high

Gas exchange in the lungs occurs by ___________. -
diffusion (which is passive transport)

Tidal Volume (TV) -
volume of air inhaled or exhaled in a normal breath

Residual Volume (RV) -
a small amount of air rich in CO2 (carbon dioxide)

Asthma -
A lung disease characterized by inflamed, narrowed airways and difficulty breathing

Influenza is an infection caused by a _________. -
virus

Diaphragm -
a muscle that changes the volume of the lungs

Trachea and alveoli function in transporting _________and _________ _________. -
air, gas exchange

2

, The heart is part of the _______________________ system -
circulatory

The walls of the alveoli are thin to increase the rate of -
diffusion

Primary function of the respiratory system? -
It exchanges gases between the blood and the air in an environment

The makeup of the lung sand lobes -
right lung=3 lobes
left lung=2 lobes

Right lung has more space becuase -
teh heart is located toward the left side of the body

Increasing tidal volume (air breathed in/out of normal breath) will? -
1) Increase diffusion of carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream. 2) Oxygen will
increase in the blood stream
3) Changing tidal volume will not have a direct effect on heart rate or surfactant.

Cardiovascular (circulatory) System is responsible for the movement of blood where? -
around the body

Blood is pumped aroudn the body by the heart through a network of? -
arteries, veins and capillaries

Upper champers of the heart -
atria

Lower chambers of the heart -
ventricles

The cardiovascular system performs the vital functions of transporting__________,
_____________, and ________________. -
nutrients, hormones, wastes

A double-loop system consisting of thick-walled ARTERIES that transport blood AWAY from the
heart, thinner-walled VEINS that transport blood TO the heart and capillaries made of a single layer
of endothelium that form a network that connect arteries to veins in tissues. -
Closed Circulatory System

Circulates and filters interstitial fluid between cells and eventually drains into the circulatory
system. -
Open Lymphatic System

Transports blood and hormones? -
