7.Between the 2 layers of the pleura is the __________, which contains a thin

easily on one another.: pleural space
8.The muscular partition that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal
cavity is called the: diaphragm
9.The right bronchus is larger in diameter than the left, and extends downward
in a more vertical direction, this makes it more susceptible to ____________

10. ______ is the movement of air into and out of the lungs, normally
accomplished by breathing: ventilation
11. There are 2 phases of ventilation: __________ is the drawing of air into
the lungs and _______ which is the expulsion of air from the lungs.:
inhalation and exhalation 12. The _____________ determines how easily the
air flows down the pressure gradient. So, if there is a narrowing in the airway,
