Lower raspatory system Takiyah Gauoda
Across
- 3. its a wall to protect the thoracic organs while facilitating respiration
- 7. its crucial for separating lung lobes, facilitating lung expansion, and aiding in clinical assessments of lung health.
- 9. its the rounded, superior tip of each lung, extending upward into the thoracic inlet and into the root of the neck
- 10. its a muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the throat to the stomach, using coordinated muscle contractions and sphincters to ensure proper digestion and prevent reflux.
- 11. pumps blood throughout the body.
- 13. is a triangular depression located on the medial aspect of each lung, approximately at the level of the fifth to seventh thoracic vertebrae
- 15. its the inner layer of the pleura that tightly covers the lungs, facilitating smooth lung movement and maintaining negative intrathoracic pressure.
- 18. gas exchange occurs, resembling a bunch of grapes connected to alveolar ducts.
- 19. breastbone, is a flat, T-shaped bone located at the center of the chest
Down
- 1. located in the right hemithorax, which is the area of the body between the neck and abdomen known as the thorax.
- 2. its a potential, fluid-filled space between the visceral and parietal pleura that surrounds each lung, enabling smooth lung movement and efficient breathing.
- 4. small openings in the walls of adjacent alveoli that allow air, fluids, and small particles to pass between alveoli, helping equalize pressure and facilitate lung function.
- 5. rests on the diaphragm, forming the inferior concave surface that facilitates gas exchange during breathing.
- 6. its a short, thick-walled artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs, where it bifurcates into the left and right pulmonary arteries.
- 8. is the front compartment of the inferior mediastinum, located between the sternum and pericardium, containing thymus tissue, lymph nodes, fat, and connective tissue.
- 9. airways that connect respiratory bronchioles to alveolar sacs,uperior tip of each lung
- 12. anterior superior mediastinum behind the sternum.
- 14. a tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi, allowing air to pass to and from the lungs.
- 16. exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- 17. is a dome-shaped skeletal muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities and serves as the primary muscle of respiration.
