  1. · the process of gaseous exchange between the individual and the environment.

    RESPIRATION

  2. 3 Processes of respiration:

    · VENTILATION · DIFFUSION · PERFUSION

  3. · provide a route for air to move between the outside atmosphere and the lungs. They also clean, humidity, and warm the incoming air.

    UPPER AIRWAYS

  4. · structures pull in air from the upper respiratory system, absorb the oxygen, and release carbon dioxide in exchange.

    LOWER AIWAYS

  5. · from the posterior nares to the soft palate

    Nasopharynx

  6. · from the soft palate to the hyoid bone

    Oropharynx

  7. · from the hyoid bone to the esophagus

    Laryngopharynx

  8. · triangular-shaped, primarily cartilage

    Larynx

  9. · opening between the true vocal cords; narrowest part of the larynx

    Rima glottids

  10. · true vocal cords and rima glottidis

    Glottis

  11. Three largest cartilage in larynx:

    epiglottis, cricoid, thyroid

  12. adam's apple

    Thyroid

  13. leaf-shaped, moves up and down during swallowing to prevent food from entering the trachea

    Epiglottis

  14. point of attachment for vocal cords

    Arytenoid

  15. fluid inside each alveoli prevents alveoli from collapsing as air moves in and out.

    Surfactant

  16. barrier across which gas is exchanged

    Respiratory membrane

  17. is a condition that occurs when your lungs can't remove all of the carbon dioxide produced by your body.

    respiratory acidosis

  18. if blood pressure is decreased, the respiratory rate becomes

    rapid

  19. is a condition that occurs when you breathe too fast or too deep and carbon dioxide levels drop too low.

    respiratory alkalosis

  20. heard over normal lung tissue.

    resonant

  21. heard over airless tissue.

    Flat

  22. occurs over dense lung tissues, such as a tumor or consolidation.

    Dullness

  23. indicates a large tension pneumothorax.

    Tympanic

  24. produced by emphysema and pneumothorax.

    Hyper resonant

  25. is an abnormal sound heard during percussion in adults. It represents air trapping, such as in obstructive lung diseases.

    Hyperresonance

  26. heard over the lungs

    · Resonance

  27. over heavy muscles and bones

    · Flat:

  28. heart, liver

    · Dullness:

  29. (stomach)

    · Tympany
