What is the function of the respiratory system?
To filter out toxins.
To turn oxygen into carbon dioxide.
To supply the body with oxygen.
To send chemical signals to the body.
Where does the oxygen go after it enters in your mouth/nose?
Nasal cavity.
Trachea.
Pharynx.
Diaphragm.
Where is the pharynx located?
In the chest, next to the lungs.
In the neck, right above the trachea.
In the rear of your mouth, below the end of your nasal cavity.
In your belly, below the diaphragm.
What is it called where your trachea connects to your lungs?
Pharynx
Larynx
Diaphragm
Bronchi tubes
What is the purpose of the Diaphragm?
To hold the lungs in place and separate them from the digestive system.
To pump air into the lungs.
To open up airways
To convert oxygen to carbon dioxide through a process called respiration.
How does the respiratory system correlate with the circulatory system?
They both produce oxygen.
The blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body.
The blood cells steal oxygen from the lungs.
The oxygen mends broken cuts.
What is the purpose of the Alveoli?
To compress the lungs.
To suck in air.
To exchange oxygen with carbon dioxide.
To pump blood throughout the body.
What are the bronchi tubes purpose?
To get air to your lungs and filter foreign particles.
To flow blood into your lungs.
To protect your vocal cords from food and drinks.
To connect your nerves to your lungs.
What is Emphysema?

A condition in which the trachea swells up.

False
What does a Pulmonary Function Technician (CPFT) do?
They conduct tests on people who could have an illness relating to the respiratory system.
They research the cure of diseases like emphysema and asthma.
They preform surgery on every body system.
They prescribe medicines to patients.
What are the requirements to be a CPFT
Be a registered heart surgeon by the NBRC.
Sign up to be one.
Be a registered human body technician by the NBRC
Be a registered/certified respiratory therapist by NBRC.
What happens to the cells in the bronchi when a person has emphysema?
They die.
They clone themselves, leaving the bronchi unaffected.
They get inflamed and stiff up.
They get corrupted by the emphysema.
What happens after the cells get inflamed?
They release an enzyme that causes the alveoli to stretch and lose elasticity.
They release an enzyme that causes the alveoli to stretch and break.
They release an enzyme that causes the alveoli to compress and pop.
They release an enzyme that causes the lungs to rip open.
What happens to the oxygen after it gets exchanged?
It floats back up out the mouth.
The oxygen goes to the blood which then transports it throughout the body
It gets sent to your white blood cells which then use that oxygen as energy.
