What is the role of the inflation reflex?

moving air IN and OUT of the lungs

Site of gas exchange?

What nerve innervates the diaphragm

Difficulty breathing

major stimulus for breathing

bluish looking skin due to poorly oxygenated blood

Normal breathing

also known as the windpipe

consists of tubes and tissues within the lungs where gas exchange occurs

whose functions is to filter, warm, and moisten air and cunduct it into the lungs

other term for nostrils

cavities in certain cranial and facial bones lined with mucous membranes that are continuous with the lining of the nasal cavity

divides the nasal cavity into right and left sides

Three anatomical regions of pharynx

Pair of tonsils at the root of the tongue

has both respiratory and digestive functions, serving as a common passegeway for air, food, and drink

both a respiratory and a digestive pathway and is lined by nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium

a large, leaf-shaped piece of elastic cartilage that is covered with epithelium; moves down and forms a lid over glottis, when we eat

a ring of hyaline cartilage that forms the inferior wall of the larynx; landmark for making an emergency airway (tracheotomy)

the point where trachea divides into right and left primary bronchi

a double-layered serous membrane that encloses each lung

the superficial layer of the pleural membrane

What is the main function of the alveoli in the lungs?

O2 leaves the bloodstream, oxygenated blood is converted into deoxygenated blood (happens in the tissues throughout the body)

the diffusion of O2 from air in the alveoli of the lungs to blood in pulmonary capillaries, and diffusion of CO2 in the opposite direction;
Conversion of deoxygenated blood coming from the right side of the heart into oxygenated blood that returns to the left side of the heart.

The quantity of gas that will dissolve in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas and its solubility

the air remaining in the lungs after expiratory reserve volume is exhaled

the apparatus commonly used to measure the volume of air exchanged during breathing and the respiratory rate

a pattern of shallow chest breathing

a pattern of deep abdominal breathing

the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume
