• Respiration

• Ventilation

• Circulation

Which of the following is true in regards to aerobic metabolism?

• Pharynx

• Diaphragm

• Rib Cage

What are the smaller branches of the bronchus that enters the lungs and continues to subdivide?

What muscle separates the chest and the abdomen?

• Oxygen

What is respiration?

• Humidifying the air that is breathed in

• Moving air into and out of the airway

• The exchange of gases in the alveolar capillaries

• The amount of oxygen you gain when you're sleeping or resting

Match. All start with " The volume of air that___"

• Dead space

• moves through the lungs in 60 seconds.

• Tidal Volume

• does not reach alveoli and does not participate in gas exchange.

• Alveolar ventilation

• moves in or out of the lungs during one breath.

• Minute volume

• moves through the lungs in 60 seconds minus the dead space.

The process of breathing air into the respiratory system and exchanging oxygen and CO2 between the alveoli and the blood vessels surrounding them is _ respiration.

• external
• internal

• lungal

• alveolo-capillary

What is NOT a purpose of the upper airway?

• humidification

• warming

• filtration
