Across
- 2. includes two thin layers of tissue that protect and cushion the lungs.
- 5. cartilage forms the Adam's apple, is the largest and uppermost of nine cartilages within the larynx, or voice box.
- 6. pleura the outer membrane which is attached to the inner surface of the thoracic cavity.
- 14. inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs.
- 15. dome-shaped sheet of muscle and tendon that serves as the main muscle of respiration and plays a vital role in the breathing process.
- 18. can be found between the hyoid bone and the larynx and esophagus, which helps guide food and air where to go.
- 21. also called voice box, a hollow, tubular structure connected to the top of the windpipe (trachea)
- 23. a flap of cartilage at the root of the tongue, which is depressed during swallowing to cover the opening of the windpipe.
- 24. A fluid secreted by Type II cells that contains phospholipids and lipoproteins.
Down
- 1. system of small, branching tubes that carry oxygen to individual body cells
- 3. cords small bands of muscle within the larynx. These muscles vibrate to produce the voice. The vocal cords form a "V" inside the larynx, a 2-inch-long, tube-shaped organ in the neck:
- 4. air gases exit the lungs
- 7. help warm and moisturize air as it flows through the nose.
- 8. pleura the delicate serous membrane that covers the surface of each lung (the lung parenchyma) and dips into the fissures between the lobes.
- 9. volume the volume of air still remaining in the lungs after the most forcible expiration possible.
- 10. the part of the throat at the back of the mouth behind the oral cavity
- 11. the upper part of the pharynx, connecting with the nasal cavity above the soft palate.
- 12. or throat, is the passageway leading from the mouth & nose to the esophagus & pharynx
- 13. tubes in the lungs which branch off from the larger bronchi that enter each lung, from the large and singular trachea which connects to the mouth.
- 16. tiny sacs within our lungs that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between the lungs and bloodstream.
- 17. air flows into the lungs.
- 19. a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.
- 20. cartilage provide connectivity for different ligaments, cartilages, and muscles, which facilitate the opening and shutting of the air passage and the production of sound.
- 22. the part of the larynx consisting of the vocal cords and the slitlike opening between them. It affects voice modulation through expansion or contraction.
