Respiratory System Study Guide
Across
- 3. Reserve Volume - forceful inhale
- 4. Pressure - acts like a suction to keep the lungs inflated
- 6. - Branches from Bronchi and works with gas exchange
- 7. Zone - gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
- 8. - diaphragm returns to its original position and the muscles relax, thoracic and lung volumes decrease and pressures increase pushing air out of the lungs
- 10. Volume - space / air that remains in the lungs
- 13. - Voice box, vocal cords, separates food, water, and air to go down the right tube
- 14. - contracts and relaxes to help the lungs with inspiration and expiration
- 16. Zone - moves, cleans, regulates temperature, and humidifies air as it enters the system
- 18. - the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles contract, expanding the thoracic cavity and the lungs
- 19. Capacity - how much air you breathe, max
Down
- 1. Reserve Volume - forceful exhale
- 2. - Closes with the larynx to stop food from going down the trachea
- 5. - Air passage with cartilage that protects it from collapsing
- 6. - the process of air flowing in and out of the lungs during inspiration and expiration
- 9. - Part of the throat that is shared by the respiratory and digestive system
- 11. - Little balloons that inflate and deflate with capillaries surrounding them for gas exchange
- 12. - The branch like area where the trachea splits in the lungs
- 15. Volume - basic breathing patterns
- 17. Lung Capacity - the most amount of air that can be used, not all is used
