What does the respiratory system do? - ANSWER-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? - ANSWER-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? -
ANSWER-Capillaries
What is cilia? - ANSWER-Tiny hairs in the nose and trachea that wave particles
up away and out
What is mucus? - ANSWER-Something that keeps the air warm and moist but
also traps particles
How many alveoli does each lung have? - ANSWER-150 million
What does hemoglobin do? - ANSWER-Carries oxygen through the blood
What is pleura? - ANSWER-Sacs that surround the lungs
What is the diaphragm? - ANSWER-The muscle at the bottom of the thoracic
cavity
,What happens during inhalation? - ANSWER-Diaphragm moves down
(contracts), rib cage rises, volume of chest cavity increases, air moves in to fill
the space
What happens during exhalation? - ANSWER-Diaphragm moves up (relaxes), rib
cage lowers, space becomes smaller, air is pushed out of lungs
What does the medulla oblongata do? - ANSWER-Controls breathing
What is chronic bronchitis? - ANSWER-Bronchi swell and become clogged with
mucus
What is emphysema? - ANSWER-Tissues in lungs lose elasticity; tissues can't
enough O2 or get rid of enough CO2
What is lung cancer? - 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? - ANSWER-Blood vessels are constricted, blood pressure
rises, heart has to work harder, heart wears out more quickly
What is cystic fibrosis? - ANSWER-Genetic (recessive); lungs can get clogged
with mucous
What is mesothelioma? - ANSWER-Lungs become exposed to asbestos and
lose elasticity
What is elastic recoil? - 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? - ANSWER-an instrument for measuring the air capacity of
the lungs
What is tidal volume? - ANSWER-The amount of air taken in and breathed out in
a typical breath
,What is supplemental volume? - ANSWER-The xtra air that can be inhaled or
exhaled with a deep breath
What is reserve amount? - ANSWER-The amount of extra air you can breathe
out when you force air out of your lungs
What is residual amount? - ANSWER-The amount of air in your lungs that you
cannot get rid of (even during forced exhaling)
What is vital capacity? - ANSWER-All the air you can control going in or out of
your lungs (supplemental + reserve = vital)
What is total capacity? - ANSWER-From the top of your supplemental amount to
the bottom of your residual volume
Main idea - 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 - ANSWER-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 - ANSWER-What's the
difference between a topic and main idea?
Key ideas - ANSWER-Ideas that support controlling idea
Controlling idea - ANSWER--your opinion about the topic.
- It helps the reader understand your purpose for writing the paragraph or essay
Conclusion - ANSWER-A deduction made by the reader about an unstated
outcome from reading passage
Inference - ANSWER-A conclusion one can draw from the presented details.
, anatomical position - ANSWER-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 - ANSWER-The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
Cellular functions - ANSWER-Processes that include growth, metabolism,
replication, protein synthesis, and movement
Directional terminology - ANSWER-Words used to explain relationships of
locations of anatomical elements (distal, posterior, medial, etc.)
organ system - ANSWER-A group of organs that work together in performing
vital body functions.
Organelle - ANSWER-specialized structure that performs important cellular
functions within a eukaryotic cell
Organ - ANSWER-A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of
the body
Reference Planes - ANSWER-Planes dividing the body to describe locations
(ex: sagittal, coronal, and transverse)
Tissue - ANSWER-A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.
Eukaryotic cells - ANSWER-Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are
bound by membranes.
prokaryotic cell - ANSWER-cell that does not have a nucleus or other
membrane-bound organelles. (Bacteria)
Ribosome - ANSWER-site of protein synthesis
Nucleus - ANSWER-A part of the cell containing DNA and RNA and responsible
for growth and reproduction
