Across
- 2. Reserve Volume, the amount of extra air, above normal volume, exhaled during a forceful breath out
- 3. a lid to the larynx during act of swallowing controls the traffic of the air and food
- 6. a slit opening on the floor of the Pharynx is a valve that controls airflow in and out of respiratory passages
- 11. carries air, food and fluid down from the nose and mouth (throat)
- 13. movement of air or dissolved gases in and out of the lungs during exhalation
- 14. Folds, folds of tissue in the Larynx that protects the airway from choking on material in the throat, regulates flow of air in the lungs and produces sound for speech
- 15. Palate, a barrier between mouth and nose, allows us to breathe and eat at the same time
- 16. Capacity, the total volume of air that can be displaced from the lungs by maximal effort
- 17. increases the cavity's surface area and creates air turbulence to filter warm or cool and humidify the air
- 18. Volume, the volume of air delivered to the lungs with each breath by the mechanical ventilator Inspiratory Reserve Volume, extra volume of air that can be inspired with maximal effort after reaching the end of a normal quiet inspiration
- 20. Ventilation, process of air flowing into the lungs during inhalation and out of the lungs during exhalation
- 23. Palate, provides space for the tongue to move and provides a rigid floor to the nasal cavity so that pressures withing the mouth do not close off the nasal passages
- 24. Septum, allows air that we breath in through our nose to go directly from the top of the nose into the back
- 26. small sacs in lungs that produce gas exchange
- 27. Respiration, formal term for gas exchange, describes both the bulk flow of air into and out of the lungs and the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide into the bloodstream
Down
- 1. breathing in more air than you normally do is your body's response to needing more air than you normally do.
- 4. group of organs and tissues that work together to help you breath, main job is to move fresh air into body while removing waste gasses.
- 5. carries air from and to the lungs, moisturizes air and screens out foreign particles
- 7. prevent foreign objects from going into the lungs
- 8. protects pathway for structures transversion from the next superiorly and into the abdomen inferiorly
- 9. carries air into lungs and to alveoli's
- 10. major muscle of respiration, large dome shaped muscle that contracts arithmetically, continually, and involuntary
- 12. carry air in and out of your lungs, stiff flexible tube, provides pathway for oxygen to enter body
- 19. Respiration, process of diffusing oxygen from the blood into the interstitial fluid and into the cells
- 21. Volume, the amount of air that remains in a person's lungs after fully exhaling
- 22. allows air to enter your body then filters debris then warms and moisturizes air
- 25. hallow tube that lets air pass from the pharynx to your trachea on the way to your lungs
