1. Accessory Mus- Occurs when the muscles of the neck, back, abdomen
cles of Ventila- assist the diaphragm and external and internal intercostal
tion muscles in respiration, especially in some breathing dis-
orders or in exercise.
2. acinus any small sac-like structure particularly that found inside
of a gland.
3. alae lateral surfaces of the external nose; the alae may flare out
during exercise
4. alveolar-capil- a thin tissue barrier through which gases are exchanged
lary membrane between the alveolar air and the blood of the pulmonary
capillaries
5. alveolar period the development of mature alveoli accompanied by capil-
lary proliferation around their outside wall
6. alveoli small outpouching of walls of alveolar space through
which gas exchange between alveolar air and pulmonary
capillary blood occurs.
7. anatomic dead Airways and lung tissue that do not participate in gas
space exchange.
8. Angle of Louis a slightly oblique angle where the manubrium articulates
with the body of the sternum
9. anterior nares openings of the nose; nostrils
10. apexes upper most regions
11. canals of Lam- openings that connect alveoli with the secondary respira-
bert tory bronchioles
12. canalicular stage in fetal development this stage begins at week 16 and
continues until week 26
13. carina bifurcation of the trachea into the right and left mainstem
bronchi

14. chorionic villi vascular projections that arise from the chorion of the
embryo and penetrate the embryo endometrium
15. cilia tiny hair like projections that line mucus producing struc-
tures. Generally they operate in a wave like motion to move
mucous along the structure.
16. Clara cells nonciliated cuboidal cells with apical granules
17. costal cartilage fibrous tissues that connect the ribs to the sternum and to
each other anteriorly
18. costal groove a channel containing the thoracic artery, vein and nerve
and supplying blood flow and innervation to the region of
the chest wall
19. costophrenic an- an acute angle where the costal pleura meets the di-
gle aphragm
20. cricoid cartilage a ring of cartilage forming the the lower boarder of the
larynx.
21. diaphragm a large dome-shaped muscle that separates the thorax
from the abdomen; the primary muscle of ventilation
22. ductus arterio- a vascular channel in the fetus that joins the pulmonary
sus artery directly to the descending aorta; it normally closes
after birth.
23. ductus venosus a vascular channel in the fetus passing through the liver
and joining the umbilical vein with the inferior vena cava;
before birth it carries highly oxygenated blood from the
placenta to the fetal circulation.
24. embryonic peri- the first 8 weeks of pregnancy
od
25. epiglottis flat cartilage that extends from the tongue backward and
upward.
