Anatomy Unit 9 Mid Quiz Questions

The process of continuously moving air in and out of the lungs.

• pulmonary ventilation

• external respiration

• respiratory gas transport

• internal respiration

The process by which gas exchange occurs between the alveoli in the lungs and the pulmonary blood.

• pulmonary ventilation

• external respiration

• respiratory gas transportation

• internal respiration

The process by which air flows INTO the lungs. It is also called inhalation.

• respiration

• inspiration

• breathing

• expiration

The process by which air is expelled from the lungs. It is also called exhalation.

• inspiration

• breathing

• respiration

• expiration

Stretch receptors in the bronchioles and alveoli which trigger a reflex to prevent over-inflation of the alveoli is called the

• Homer-Simpson reflex

• Hering-Breuer reflex

• Heisenberg-White reflex

• Herring-Fish reflex

Sensory cells in the brain that monitor the changes in pH of the cerebrospinal fluid (acid or base). A decrease in pH (more acidic) indicated high levels of CO2 in the body. It then send impulses through cranial nerves telling the body to inhale.

• inspiration receptors

• exhalation modules

• central chemoreceptors

• respiratory receptors

A receptor located in the aortic artery (aorta) is sensitive to changes in blood "oxygen" levels. It uses cranial nerves to regulate breathing

• central chemoreceptors

• peripheral chemoreceptors

• mechanoreceptors

• respiratory mechanics

A receptor located in muscles and joints. As muscles are used, they send a message to the brain to increase respiration like when you work out.

• respiratory receptors

• central chemoreceptors

• peripheral chemoreceptors

• mechanoreceptor

This measures the amount of air inhaled in a normal breath. (for 6 breaths)

• Vital Capacity (VC)

• Tidal Volume (TV)

• Residual Volume (RV)

• Total Lung Capacity (TLC)

You inhale as much as possible (maximum), and then exhale as much as possible. The total amount of air you took in and exhaled is called the: (1+ 2+ 3)

• Tidal Volume (TV)

• Vital Capacity (VC)

• Residual Volume (RV)

• Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
