Across
- 2. Responsible for the removal of particles, such as dust or microorganisms
- 3. Airways are inflame and produce extra mucus & makes it harder to breathe
- 4. Protects the lower respiratory tract from aspirating food into the trachea while breathing.
- 6. This reduces surface tension at the air-water interface in the alveoli
- 7. Propel inhaled particles out of the airways
- 9. Synthesis and secretion of surfactant and transepithelial movement of water
- 11. Protein in red blood cells that is responsible for delivering oxygen to tissues.
- 14. A passageway of inspired and expired air into and out of the lungs.
- 15. Infection that inflames air sacs in one or both lungs that can fill with fluid
- 16. Humidifies warms & filters and acts as a channel for inspired air also protects the respiratory tract.
- 17. Warms and humidifies air before it reaches the larynx
Down
- 1. Lines the respiratory tract from trachea to bronchi into bronchioles and alveolar sacs.
- 5. Brings oxygen into our bodies and sends carbon dioxide out along with other unwanted gases.
- 8. Provides dynamic stability to the architecture and mechanical function of the lungs
- 10. Routes air that is coming in from the nose and mouth down to the larynx.
- 12. Thin layer of fluid covering the luminal surface of the airway.
- 13. Carries air to and from either the left or right lung.
