Across
  1. 3. the part of the respiratory tract responsible for exchanging gases
  2. 9. bronchi that branch off of the left and right bronchi
  3. 10. there are 3 of these in the right lung and only 2 of these in the left lung
  4. 16. the type of bronchiole that exchanges gases and leads to the alveoli themselves
  5. 17. the flexible windpipe
  6. 20. the law that says that pressure and volume are inversely related
  7. 23. abbreviated Ppul this is the pressure inside alveoli
  8. 27. abbreviated Patm this is the pressure of the air around us
  9. 28. bronchi that lead to the bronchopulmonary segments of each lobe
  10. 31. abbreviated Pip this is the pressure inside the pleural cavity
  11. 33. the movement of air
  12. 34. nose hairs
  13. 35. bone features that create turbine-like areas that trap air in the nasal cavity
  14. 36. openings between alveoli that help equate pressures
  15. 38. immune defense cells that roam the lungs and eat any invader
  16. 42. bronchi the left and right bronchi
  17. 44. these cells are responsible for making surfactant
  18. 45. the constriction of bronchi by smooth muscle
  19. 46. open spaces that lighten the skull
  20. 47. pleura the more superficial plural membrane
  21. 48. the feature in the left lung that allows space for the heart
  22. 49. the process that brings air into the lungs, also known as inhalation
  23. 50. the expulsion of air from the respiratory system, also known as exhalation
Down
  1. 1. the type of cartilage in the C-shaped rings of the trachea
  2. 2. the distensibility (expansion AND recoil) of the lung tissue
  3. 4. disorders that limit the ability to exhale all the air inhaled
  4. 5. the folds of mucosa that line the nasal cavity
  5. 6. disorders that prevent the inhalation of enough air
  6. 7. glands that are in the submucosa of the trachea and spill fluids out onto the lumen of the trachea
  7. 8. the exchange of gases
  8. 11. tiny hair-like extensions of cells in the trachea that wave in unison to move mucus superiorly
  9. 12. muscles that are used in quiet breathing such as the diaphragm and external intercostals
  10. 13. voicebox
  11. 14. the pleural membrane that hugs the lungs and dips into the septa of the lungs
  12. 15. muscles that assist in active breathing, such as the sternocleidomastoid
  13. 18. the name of the cartilage that covers the larynx
  14. 19. the part of the respiratory tract responsible for conducting air
  15. 21. the tendency of water molecules covering the respiratory membrane in alveoli to stick together in cohesion
  16. 22. these simple squamous cells form the respiratory membrane
  17. 24. breathing that is not forceful and only uses primary muscles
  18. 25. the flap of elastic cartilage that covers the trachea as a food bolus moves into the esophagus
  19. 26. the trapping of particles in mucus that is waved superiorly by cilia
  20. 29. the type of breathing that uses accessory muscles
  21. 30. the cavity through which it is recommended you breath
  22. 32. one dead end sac where gases are exchanged in the lung
  23. 37. the specific name of the serous membranes surrounding the lungs
  24. 39. also knows as the throat, this is where the oral and nasal cavity connect
  25. 40. the detergent-like substances in alveoli that breaks up alveolar surface tension
  26. 41. the relaxation of the smooth muscle surrounding bronchi
  27. 43. bronchioles that lead to the respiratory bronchioles
