  1. 3. located in the nasal cavity and increase surface area to trap more particles before air enters the lungs
  2. 4. the voice box, a section of cartilage that connect pharynx to trachea
  3. 7. nasal portion of the pharynx
  4. 9. warms, moistens, and cleans the air that enters two nostrils, separated by a septum
  5. 11. branches off bronchioles to make clustered, grape-like bunches, the site of gas exchange with the lungs
  6. 14. what branches off of bronchi
  7. 15. also known as the throat, is shared between respiratory and digestive system
  8. 16. where inhalation and exhalation takes place
  9. 17. cartilage that attaches the larynx to the trachea
  10. 19. this lung has two lobes and the cardiac notch
  11. 21. opens during breathing to allow air to pass into lower respiratory tract, but closes over larynx when food is being eaten
  12. 23. consists of the nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and trachea
Down
  1. 1. open portion of the larynx and esophagus, contains epiglottis
  2. 2. oral portion of the pharynx
  3. 5. line the pharynx, trap and remove foreign pathogens from entering the throat
  4. 6. is inflammation of the sinuses
  5. 8. contains vocal cords, allows speech to occur and will close the larynx to prevent food from entering lower respiratory tract
  6. 10. consists of the lungs, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli
  7. 12. surround the nasal cavity and function to lighten the skull, resonate speech and produce mucus
  8. 13. protective membrane that covers the lungs
  9. 18. cartilage of the larynx that makes up the adams apple
  10. 20. this lung has three lobes
  11. 22. two extensions off the trachea that carry air into the lungs
  12. 23. prevents food from entering the nasal cavity
  13. 24. the windpipe, lined in horseshoe-shaped cartilage and branches into two bron
