1.
The process of exchanging oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) between the air and blood a
2.
The airway system consisting of the conducting portion and the respiratory portion
3.
Small air-filled sacs within the lungs where gas exchange takes place.
4.
Moves air from the nasal cavity to the terminal bronchioles without gas exchange.
5.
Includes bronchioles and alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.
6.
Mucosa consisting of epithelial cells and underlying connective lining the respiratory tract.
7.
Epithelium lining the lower pharynx, helping resist abrasion.
8.
Extends from the larynx to the bronchi - allowing air to move to and from the lungs.
9.
The branching system of bronchi and bronchioles that distributes air within the lungs.
10.
The double-layered membrane surrounding the lungs.
11.
The movement of air into and out of the lungs.
12.
A lipid and protein secretion produced by alveolar type II cells.
13.
located above the soft palate- serves as a passage for air from the nasal cavity.
14.
Part of both the digestive and respiratory systems- allows the passage of both air and food.
15.
Part of both the digestive and respiratory systems-located closer to the larynx.
16.
A flap of cartilage that covers the opening of the larynx during swallowing
17.
A ring-shaped cartilage located below the thyroid cartilage
18.
The largest cartilage of the larynx, commonly known as the "Adam's apple,".
19.
The first branches of the trachea that lead into each lung.
20.
The widening of the airways (bronchi) caused by the relaxation of smooth muscle.
21.
The narrowing of the airways (bronchi) due to the contraction of smooth muscle.
22.
Pneumocytes-epithelial cells facilitating gas exchange between air and blood.
23.
Pneumocytes-cells in the alveoli that produce surfactant-
24.
The outer pleura layer of the pleura that lines the inner surface of the thoracic cavity.
25.
The inner pleura layer of the pleura that directly covers the surface of the lungs.
26.
The space between the parietal and visceral pleura.
27.
Respiration involving the exchange of gases (O₂ and CO₂) between the air in the alveoli
28.
respiration involving the exchange of gases (O₂ and CO₂) between the blood and the body's tissues.
29.
respiration involving the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy (ATP) from glucose.
