2. Pharynx
3. Larynx (voice box)
4. Trachea (windpipe)
5. Bronchi
6. Bronchioles
7. Alveoli
What are alveoli surrounded by to allow the exchange of O2 and CO2? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Capillaries
What is cilia? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Tiny hairs in the nose and trachea that
wave particles up away and out

What happens during inhalation? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Diaphragm moves
down (contracts), rib cage rises, volume of chest cavity increases, air moves in to
fill the space
What happens during exhalation? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Diaphragm moves
up (relaxes), rib cage lowers, space becomes smaller, air is pushed out of lungs
What does the medulla oblongata do? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Controls
breathing
What is chronic bronchitis? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Bronchi swell and
become clogged with mucus
What is emphysema? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Tissues in lungs lose elasticity;
tissues can't enough O2 or get rid of enough CO2
What is lung cancer? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Cells that do not stop
reproducing; can spread to other locations because lungs are so central and
connected to so much; survival is generally less then 5 years from diagnosis
What is heart disease? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Blood vessels are constricted,
blood pressure rises, heart has to work harder, heart wears out more quickly
What is cystic fibrosis? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Genetic (recessive); lungs
can get clogged with mucous
What is mesothelioma? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Lungs become exposed to
asbestos and lose elasticity
What is elastic recoil? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The ability for the alveoli to
get filled with air then return to their normal shape once the air is released
What is a spirometer? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>an instrument for measuring
the air capacity of the lungs
What is tidal volume? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The amount of air taken in and
breathed out in a typical breath
,What is supplemental volume? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The xtra air that can
be inhaled or exhaled with a deep breath
What is reserve amount? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The amount of extra air you
can breathe out when you force air out of your lungs
What is residual amount? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The amount of air in your
lungs that you cannot get rid of (even during forced exhaling)
What is vital capacity? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>All the air you can control
going in or out of your lungs (supplemental + reserve = vital)
What is total capacity? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>From the top of your
supplemental amount to the bottom of your residual volume
Main idea - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>the most important or central thought of a
paragraph or larger section of text, which tells the reader what the text is about
Topic - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>a particular issue or idea that serves as the
subject of a paragraph, essay, report, or speech

Directional terminology - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Words used to explain
relationships of locations of anatomical elements (distal, posterior, medial, etc.)
organ system - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>A group of organs that work together in
performing vital body functions.
Organelle - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>specialized structure that performs
important cellular functions within a eukaryotic cell
Organ - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>A collection of tissues that carry out a
specialized function of the body
Reference Planes - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Planes dividing the body to
describe locations
(ex: sagittal, coronal, and transverse)
Tissue - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>A group of similar cells that perform a
specific function.
Eukaryotic cells - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Contain a nucleus and other
organelles that are bound by membranes.
prokaryotic cell - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>cell that does not have a nucleus or
other membrane-bound organelles. (Bacteria)
