Respiratory System Biology 2201

2. - the air sacs in the lungs that are the only place where gases are exchanged with the blood
5. - Movement of oxygen from cytoplasm into mitochondria to produce ATP
9. – infection causing the cilia harm and mucus clogs the airways
11. – Cessation of breathing for 10 seconds or longer during sleep
12. - the lubricated layer around the lungs which stops friction with the ribs and lungs
13. – volume of air remaining in the lungs following exhalation of resting volume
14. – growth of abnormal lung cells that can be fatal
15. - the left lung is smaller than the right lung to make space for
16. – the common cold
17. - paired opening organ which moistens and cleans inhaled air and is for smell
20. – an inherited disorder that causes causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs
21. – maximum volume of air that can be inhaled following exhalation of resting tidal volume
23. – allergens cause the bronchioles to narrow making breathing more difficult
25. – pulmonary infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis; reduces lung health
26. – inflammation of the pleura lining surrounding the lungs – very painful
27. - the intersection of the esophagus and the trachea (windpipe)

1. -total volume of air that the lungs can hold
3. – inflammation of the vocal folds
4. - maximum amount of air that can be expired after taking the deepest breath possible
6. – alveolar walls break down and the surface area of the lungs is reduced
7. - Movement of oxygen from blood to the tissue cells
8. – long-term obstruction of airflow and a substantial reduction in pulmonary ventilation
10. - movement of oxygen from the lungs to the blood
18. - movement of air into and out of the lungs
19. - the number of lungs, nostrils and bronchi that a healthy person has
22. – lower respiratory infection that causes fluid build up in the lungs
24. - opening organ which moistens and cleans inhaled air and is for taste
