takes in oxygen and releases nitrogen

b)

takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen

c)

takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide

d)

takes in nitrogen and releases oxygen

6.

Passage connecting your throat and lungs.

8.

Muscle that helps your lungs pull in air and push it out.

a)

diaphragm

b)

alveoli

c)

heart

d)

trachea

9.
What important activity takes place in the lungs?
a)
Food is digested
b)
Waste filtered from blood
c)
Oxygen (O2) is exchanged for Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
d)
Trachea is exchanged for the larynx
10.

When you exhale, the diaphragm

a)

moves upwards

b)

moves downwards

c)

flattens

d)

none of the above

11.
What are the tiny air sacs at the end of the Bronchioles, that transfer oxygen into the blood stream?
a)
Trachea
b)
Bronchi
c)
Alveoli
d)
Larynx
12.

This condition occurs when the airway is narrowed due to inflammation of the bronchi.

a)

lung cancer

b)

asthma

c)

emphysema

d)

cystic fibrosis

13.
What happens during inspiration?
a)
The diaphragm contracts and pulls down to cause air to rush into the thoracic cavity.
b)
The diaphragm relaxes and causes a pressure change and air rushes out.
c)
The diaphram relaxes and causes the thoracic cavity to get smaller.
14.

a)

increases; in

b)

increases; out

c)

decreases; in

d)

decreases; out

Vital Capacity +Residual Volum=

a)

VITAL capacity

b)

Residual Volume

Total lung Capacity

d)

inspiratory rate

16.
The Bronchi branch out into many different smaller tubes which take oxygen to the alveoli. What are these tiny tubes called?
a)
Trachea
