- 5. inside membrane of pleura attaching to lung
- 6. chronic condition that results in permanent damage from alveoli rupture, distension or clumping
- 10. surrounds voicebox
- 12. open space between vocal cords or opening of trachea
- 13. disease of bronchi and bronchioles causing smooth muscle to constrict and cause wheezing
- 15. center located in medulla oblongata responsible for regulating breathing rate
- 16. respiration exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between systematic capillaries and body cells
- 18. movement of air in and out of lungs
- 20. nerve that carries impulse from respiration centre to diaphragm and spinal nerves to intercostal muscles

- 24. tiny hair like structures throughout system to help remove dust, pathogens and microbes
- 25. triangular box like structure composed of several pieces of cartilage
- 26. bodies sensory receptors sensitive to low levels of oxygen
Down
- 1. otherwise known as macrophages found in alveoli responsible for destroying bacteria and carbon particle
- 3. lipoprotein preventing collapsing of alveoli during expiration
- 4. piece of tissue hangs down involved in sneezing
- 7. common to respiratory and digestive systems
- 8. tiny tubes contain no cartilage, thin layer of smooth muscle and lined with a simple epithelium
- 9. may be caused by bacterial or viral infection filling alveoli with thick fluid
- 11. composed of lymphatic tissue and protect body from pathogens
- 14. condition caused by inflammation of mucus membrane of bronchi causing narrowing of passageway
- 17. outside membrane of pleura lines thoracic cavity assisting in breathing movements
