Respiratory System

2. A result of the diaphragm relaxing, the volume of the thoracic cavity decreasing, and pressure inside of the thoracic cavity increasing.
3. Effect describes that as more CO2 enters the blood it causes more oxygen to dissociate from Hb.
6. Type of cartilage that forms Adam’s apple.
12. Structures in the nasal cavity that creates turbulent airflow.
13. Type of pressure defining the difference between the pleural cavity and alveolar pressure.
15. Refers to the group of sinuses that help lighten the skull and warm, humidify, and filter incoming air.
17. Law that describes the inverse relationship of pressure and volume of gas at constant temperature.
18. Site where pulmonary and systemic blood vessels, bronchi, lymphatic vessels, and nerves may enter and exit the lungs.
19. Detergent-like substance that reduces surface tension between the alveoli.

1. Carbon dioxide is mostly carried from the tissues to the lungs through these types of ions.
4. State in which there is an insufficient oxygen supply to the tissues of the body.
5. Type of breathing that occurs if the pontine respiratory center were to be cut, resulting in prolonged inspiration.
7. Oxygen is mostly carried in blood by being attached to this.
8. Zone that gas exchange occurs in the lungs.
9. Most sensitive part of the trachea.
10. Type of chemoreceptor that responds to change in PCO2 and pH.
11. Type of maneuver that may be used to help dislodge objects obstructing the airway.
14. Type of circulation with a high pressure and low volume system.
15. Type of fluid that helps lubricate the lungs during breathing.
16. Condition where the pleura becomes inflamed.
