Air pressure - ansThe force exerted on the walls of a chamber by the
molecules of air.

Alveoli - ansSmall hollows, or air sacs in a structure.

Alveoli - ansThe site of gas exchange; is attached to the terminals of
bronchioles

Angle of rib - ansPortion of rib between the head and shaft, at which the
direction of the rib takes an acute turn.

Apical pleurae - ansPleural covering the superior-most region of the rib cage.

Atlas - ansThe uppermost cervical vertebra, C1; supports the skull for
rotation

Axis - ansAnterior surface of the atlas; C2. On which the skull pivots

Bolus - ansFood being propelled by gravity and peristaltic contractions to the
waiting stomach.

Bony Thorax - ansVertebrae, vertebral
column Ribs, attachment to vertebral
column Pectoral girdle
Scapula and Clavicle
Sternum
Pelvic
girdle
Public
bone
Sacrum
Ilium

Boyle's Law - ansstates, given a gas of constant temperature, if you increase
volume of the chamber the pressure will decrease. If volume decreases the
air pressure will increase.

Bronchial tree - ansIncreasingly smaller tubes as one progresses into the
depths of the lungs; the total surface at any level is greater then the level
before it.

Bronchial Tubes - ansThe cartilaginous tubes that connect the trachea to the
lungs.

Central tendon - ansLarge aponeurosis making up the central portion of the
diaphragm.

Coccygeal Vertebra - ansVestigial vertebral components of the coccyx. Fused
with the Sacrum

Corpus - ansThe body

Costal pleurae - ansPleural covering the inner surface of the ribs

Diaphragm - ansSeparate the thorax and the abdomen. Attached to lower
margin of the rib cage, sternum, and vertebral column.

Diaphragmatic pleurae - ansParietal pleural lining covering the diaphragm

Esophagus - ansThe long, collapsed tube connecting the laryngopharynx with
the stomach.

Expiration - ansThe elimination of waste products by breathing out

False Ribs - ansVertebrochondral ribs, ribs making indirect attachment with
the sternum.

Final divisions of bronchial tree - ansRespiratory zones comprised of
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli.

First nine divisions of bronchial tree - ansAre strictly conductive, designed
only to transport gas between the environment and the lungs

Floating Ribs - ansThose ribs that do not articulate with the sternum.

Foramina - ansOpening

Forced inspiration - ansBreathing in, it requires both diaphragm and
accessory muscles of inspiration.

Inspiration - ansThe process of breathing in, bringing in oxygen to the cells
of the body to sustain life.

Intervertebral Discs - ansFibrocartilage discs that separate the vertebrae,
acting as a cushion for any exerted forces. Consists of a gelatinous core.

Intervertebral foramen - ansForamen through which spinal nerve exits and/or
enters the spinal cord.

Left lung - ansmain stem bronchus bifurcates to serve the superior and
inferior lobes of the lung.

Left lung - ansHas only two lobes in its structure; space is occupied by the
heart and mediastinal.

Lobar bronchi (secondary, immediate) - ansBronchial passageways
connecting mainstream bronchi with individual lobes of the lungs.

Lumbar Vertebra - ansLowermost vertebra of spinal column. (L1, L2 L5).

Main bronchi steam - ansThey bifurcate (divide) off the trachea to serve the
left and right lungs.

Mediastinal pleura - ansParietal pleural lining covering the mediastinum

Mucus - ansThe dense fluid product of mucous membrane tissue.

Muscles of Respiration -
ansDiaphragm Accessory muscles
of inspiration Accessory muscles of
expiration Muscles of postural
control

Negative pressure - ansAir pressure that is less than atmospheric pressure;
volume is increased, pressure is decreased.

Parietal pleurae - ansPleural linings of the thoracic cavity

Pectoral girdle - ansSuperior counterpart of the pelvic girdle. It is the area
pertaining to the chest.

Pelvic girdle - ansThe area comprised of the ilium, sacrum, pubic bone, and
ischium.

Positive pressure - ansAir pressure that exceeds atmospheric pressure;
volume is reduced, pressure is increased.

Pressure - ansForces exerted on area; P = F/A

Pubic Symphysis - ansJoint connecting the paired pubic bones

Quiet inspiration - ansBreathing in, it involves minimal muscular activity,
primarily that of the diaphragm.

Respiration - ansThe exchange of gas between an organism and its
environment
