QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALREADY
GRADED A |STUDY TO PASS!!!
What does the respiratory system do? - ANSWERS -Brings in oxygen to go into the cells, and picks up
carbon dioxide to be removed from the bodyguard
What are the 7 parts of the respiratory system? - ANSWERS -1. Nose
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? - ANSWERS -Capillaries
What is cilia? - ANSWERS -Tiny hairs in the nose and trachea that wave particles up away and out
What is mucus? - ANSWERS -Something that keeps the air warm and moist but also traps particles
How many alveoli does each lung have? - ANSWERS -150 million
What does hemoglobin do? - ANSWERS -Carries oxygen through the blood
What is pleura? - ANSWERS -Sacs that surround the lungs
,What is the diaphragm? - ANSWERS -The muscle at the bottom of the thoracic cavity
What happens during inhalation? - ANSWERS -Diaphragm moves down (contracts), rib cage rises,
volume of chest cavity increases, air moves in to fill the space
What happens during exhalation? - ANSWERS -Diaphragm moves up (relaxes), rib cage lowers, space
becomes smaller, air is pushed out of lungs
What does the medulla oblongata do? - ANSWERS -Controls breathing
What is chronic bronchitis? - ANSWERS -Bronchi swell and become clogged with mucus
What is emphysema? - ANSWERS -Tissues in lungs lose elasticity; tissues can't enough O2 or get rid of
enough CO2
What is lung cancer? - ANSWERS -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? - ANSWERS -Blood vessels are constricted, blood pressure rises, heart has to
work harder, heart wears out more quickly
What is cystic fibrosis? - ANSWERS -Genetic (recessive); lungs can get clogged with mucous
What is mesothelioma? - ANSWERS -Lungs become exposed to asbestos and lose elasticity
What is elastic recoil? - ANSWERS -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? - ANSWERS -an instrument for measuring the air capacity of the lungs
,What is tidal volume? - ANSWERS -The amount of air taken in and breathed out in a typical breath
What is supplemental volume? - ANSWERS -The xtra air that can be inhaled or exhaled with a deep
breath
What is reserve amount? - ANSWERS -The amount of extra air you can breathe out when you force air
out of your lungs
What is residual amount? - ANSWERS -The amount of air in your lungs that you cannot get rid of (even
during forced exhaling)
What is vital capacity? - ANSWERS -All the air you can control going in or out of your lungs
(supplemental + reserve = vital)
What is total capacity? - ANSWERS -From the top of your supplemental amount to the bottom of your
residual volume
Main idea - ANSWERS -the most important or central thought of a paragraph or larger section of text,
which tells the reader what the text is about
Topic - ANSWERS -a particular issue or idea that serves as the subject of a paragraph, essay, report, or
speech
-topic is the general subject of a paragraph
-Topics are simple and are described with just a word or a phrase.
-main idea is a complete sentence; it includes the topic - ANSWERS -What's the difference between a
topic and main idea?
Key ideas - ANSWERS -Ideas that support controlling idea
Controlling idea - ANSWERS --your opinion about the topic.
- It helps the reader understand your purpose for writing the paragraph or essay
, Conclusion - ANSWERS -A deduction made by the reader about an unstated outcome from reading
passage
Inference - ANSWERS -A conclusion one can draw from the presented details.
anatomical position - ANSWERS -a standard position in which the body is facing forward, the feet are
parallel to each other, and the arms are at the sides with the palms facing forward
Cells - ANSWERS -The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
Cellular functions - ANSWERS -Processes that include growth, metabolism, replication, protein
synthesis, and movement
Directional terminology - ANSWERS -Words used to explain relationships of locations of anatomical
elements (distal, posterior, medial, etc.)
organ system - ANSWERS -A group of organs that work together in performing vital body functions.
Organelle - ANSWERS -specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a
eukaryotic cell
Organ - ANSWERS -A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body
Reference Planes - ANSWERS -Planes dividing the body to describe locations
(ex: sagittal, coronal, and transverse)
Tissue - ANSWERS -A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.
Eukaryotic cells - ANSWERS -Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by membranes.
