Respiratory System Structures
Across
- 3. located in the nasal cavity and increase surface area to trap more particles before air enters the lungs
- 4. the voice box, a section of cartilage that connect pharynx to trachea
- 7. nasal portion of the pharynx
- 9. warms, moistens, and cleans the air that enters two nostrils, separated by a septum
- 11. branches off bronchioles to make clustered, grape-like bunches, the site of gas exchange with the lungs
- 14. what branches off of bronchi
- 15. also known as the throat, is shared between respiratory and digestive system
- 16. where inhalation and exhalation takes place
- 17. cartilage that attaches the larynx to the trachea
- 19. this lung has two lobes and the cardiac notch
- 21. opens during breathing to allow air to pass into lower respiratory tract, but closes over larynx when food is being eaten
- 23. consists of the nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and trachea
Down
- 1. open portion of the larynx and esophagus, contains epiglottis
- 2. oral portion of the pharynx
- 5. line the pharynx, trap and remove foreign pathogens from entering the throat
- 6. is inflammation of the sinuses
- 8. contains vocal cords, allows speech to occur and will close the larynx to prevent food from entering lower respiratory tract
- 10. consists of the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli
- 12. surround the nasal cavity and function to lighten the skull, resonate speech and produce mucus
- 13. protective membrane that covers the lungs
- 18. cartilage of the larynx that makes up the adams apple
- 20. this lung has three lobes
- 22. two extensions off the trachea that carry air into the lungs
- 23. prevents food from entering the nasal cavity
- 24. the windpipe, lined in horseshoe-shaped cartilage and branches into two bron
