Across
- 3. Pressure exerted into the pleural cavity
- 5. Relaxation of smooth muscles in the airway, increased
- 8. Balloon shaped sac that facilitates gas exchange
- 11. High levels of carbon dioxide in your blood
- 12. Pressure exerted into the alveolar cavity
- 13. Decreased ventilation, increased CO2
- 14. Chronic condition where airways are constricted by triggers such as allergens, irritants, or infections
- 19. In ______ capillaries, alveoli walls supply the blood with oxygen and collects carbon dioxide to perform a gas exchange
- 20. Increased ventilation, decreased CO2
- 22. Brief interruption in breathing that resumes spontaneously
- 23. Low levels of oxygen in your blood
- 24. Also known as the chest, a cavity that holds major organs such as the heart and lungs
- 25. The _______ effect describes how CO2 is affected by oxygen concentrations
Down
- 1. The _____ effect describes the inverse relationship between CO2 and oxygen
- 2. Increased breathing rate as a result of exercise
- 4. Irreversible chronic condition where alveolar walls are broken down due to damaged lung tissue as a result of excessive trypsin release
- 6. What type of hemoglobin is not attached to oxygen?
- 7. The feeling of not being able to get enough air into your lungs
- 9. What medical device is used to measure the volume of air breathed in and out?
- 10. Airway constriction due to smooth muscle tightening which causes airways to narrow
- 15. Abnormal breathing pattern, sometimes due to brain injury
- 16. Thin dome-shaped muscle at the base of the chest
- 17. Law in which a corresponding change of pressure and volume are constant as long as the temperature remains constant
- 18. Tiny branches that deliver air to small sacs in the lung
- 21. Air leaking outside of the lung within the chest wall, causing pressure against one’s lungs
