Across
  1. 2. the process where oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream into the lungs.
  2. 4. A cluster of Alveoli.
  3. 11. The space between the Visceral and Parietal pleura. Creates suction between them during respirations.
  4. 12. The small, bottommost lobe of the lungs.
  5. 15. Moves air from the trachea to each lung.
  6. 19. Inspiration: Contracts allowing room for air to enter the lungs. Expiration: Relaxes, pushing air out of the lungs.
  7. 20. The uppermost lobe of the lungs.
  8. 21. tiny, balloon-shaped air sacs located at the end of the respiratory tract in the lungs (Responsible for gas exchange).
  9. 22. The _______ muscles pull the ribs out and up during inspiration.
  10. 25. Space between the soft palate and the base of the tongue. It contains the palatine tonsils and the lingual tonsils (Back of Mouth).
  11. 28. A tube-like structure that connects the larynx to the lungs.
  12. 29. This lung is smaller and only has two lobes.
  13. 32. The largest piece of cartilage in the larynx (Adams Apple).
  14. 34. This lung is the larger of the two. Contains three lobes.
  15. 35. Makes oxygen available to your body and remove other gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your body. (organ)
  16. 37. Membrane that lines the entire thoracic cavity.
  17. 40. Responsible for your sense of smell.
  18. 41. Separates the superior and middle lobe of the right lung.
  19. 42. _______ forms in the lungs from oxygen and is transported to other cells.
  20. 43. The process of moving air into and out of the lungs.
  21. 44. Prevents lung over inflation.
  22. 45. A complex network of organs and tissues that enables gas exchange between the body and the environment.
Down
  1. 1. The bony plate that separates the nose from the mouth.
  2. 3. Closes over the top of the larynx during swallowing to direct food and liquids into the esophagus.
  3. 5. During ___________, air flows into the alveoli, inflating them like tiny balloons. (inhale)
  4. 6. Maximum amount of air the lungs can contain.
  5. 7. Located inside the Thoracic Cavity, these structures are responsible for gas exchange.
  6. 8. The group of structures responsible for warming and humidifying air, as well as smell, taste, chewing and swallowing.
  7. 9. Both inspiration and expiration depend on the difference in ____________ between the lungs and outside the body.
  8. 10. Membrane that covers the surface of the lungs. Expands into the fissures.
  9. 13. Amount of air inhaled and exhaled during quiet breathing.
  10. 14. Moves air to each lobe of the lungs.
  11. 16. Normal expiration is a ________ process.
  12. 17. Passes dorsal to the larynx and connects to the esophagus (Top of Throat).
  13. 18. The small hairs inside of the nose that help filter dust nd large foreign particles.
  14. 23. Separates the Middle and inferior lobe on the right and the superior and inferior lobe on the left.
  15. 24. Produces sound when air passes over them.
  16. 26. The center lobe of the right lung.
  17. 27. The muscular tube behind the nose and mouth (throat).
  18. 30. Close the glottis during swallowing to keep food and liquids out of the airway.
  19. 31. During deep inspiration: the __________, scalenes, and pectoralis minor aid in elevating the chest.
  20. 33. Prevents food and liquids from entering the trachea, acts as an air passageway between the pharynx and trachea, and produces sound.
  21. 36. Where the trachea branches in two.
  22. 38. Both inspiration and expiration depend on the ___________.
  23. 39. Just behind the soft palate. It contains openings for the right and left auditory tubes (Back of Nose).
