Across
- 1. When the alveoli of the lungs aren’t able to get a sufficient amount of oxygen
- 3. Has superior, middle, and inferior conchae that project towards nasal septum
- 6. The pressure contributed by a single gas within a mixture of gases
- 12. The voice box
- 13. The main passageway into the lungs
- 14. Protect airways of our lungs from irritants and remove inhaled substances that are potentially harmful to the lungs and airways
- 17. Reflexes that are strong and cannot be consciously suppressed
- 18. Nostrils that open to nasal cavity
- 19. Evaporates water in the mucus, and heats air to body temperature
- 20. Attaches the thyroid cartilage to hyoid bone and cricoid cartilage to trachea
- 22. Only contains superior and inferior lobes
- 25. When one hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules which result in the formation of oxyhemoglobin.
- 26. Law stating that the gases that contribute to the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases
- 28. Separates oral and nasal cavities with portions of maxillary and palatine bones or helps divide nasopharynx and rest of the pharynx
- 29. Branches out into secondary bronchi and tertiary bronchi which extend into bronchioles and pulmonary alveoli
- 30. Connects to posterior portion of nasal cavity through internal nares and separated from oral cavity by soft palate
Down
- 2. Blood becomes saturated with carbon dioxide and roughly around 7% is absorbed by peripheral capillaries and is moved as dissolved gas molecules
- 4. An increase amount of air entering the alveoli
- 5. Helps to maintain blood pressure at nearly constant levels
- 7. to form right and left primary bronchi
- 8. Responds to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations in order to help prevent over-inflation of the lung
- 9. Makes sure that the body’s alveoli are sufficiently supplied with oxygen and aids in the removal of carbon dioxide that is found in the bloodstream
- 10. Distribute air throughout the lungs
- 11. Tiny ducts that connect the respiratory bronchioles to alveolar sacs
- 15. Contains superior, inferior, and middle lobe
- 16. Bind the nine cartilages to form the larynx
- 21. Law stating that the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature
- 23. Lies between hyoid bone and entrance to larynx and esophagus
- 24. Extends between soft palate and the base of tongue at around the hyoid bone
- 27. Tiny air sacs of the lungs which allow for rapid gaseous exchange
