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.

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.

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.

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

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
