Lower Respiratory Anatomy- Natalie Giuliani
Across
- 4. Exchanges Oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood
- 6. Stablizes the chest wall
- 7. Is the primary site where gas exchange occurs in the body
- 9. Fissure allows for expansion and movement of the lobes
- 12. Passage leading from the throat to the lungs
- 13. Trains T-Cells to identify and destroy foreign pathogens
- 17. Provides crucial structural protection for the heart
- 19. Transports deoxygenated blood away from the heart
- 20. Enables the lung to move against the chest wall
Down
- 1. Located within the lungs at the ends of the bronchioles
- 2. Transports air
- 3. Protects the organs inside the chest cavity
- 5. Facilitates smooth lung movement by reducing friction
- 8. Located in the middle of the Right lung
- 10. Adds a layer of protection for the heart and lungs
- 11. Delivers air to the respiratory bronchioles
- 14. Pumps the blood throughout the body
- 15. Facilitates collateral airflow between adjacent alveoli
- 16. Contracts and flattens during inhalation to allow air to be pulled into the lungs
- 18. Transports food,liquids, and saliva from the pharynx to the stomach
