What is the function of the respiratory system? - ANSWER: To supply the body with
oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide
Pulmonary ventilation - ANSWER: breathing
External Respiration - ANSWER: gas exchange between lungs and blood
Transport of Respiratory Gases - ANSWER: transport of carbon dioxide and oxygen to
and from the lungs and tissue cells
Internal Respiration - ANSWER: exchange of gases between the blood and the cells
of the body
What consists of the upper airway? - ANSWER: Nose and Paranasal Sinuses
Pharynx
What consists of the lower airway? - ANSWER: Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs,
Alveoli
What is the function of ciliated mucus? - ANSWER: Traps debris, bacteria, and dust
from getting into the lungs
What is Vibrissae? - ANSWER: nose hairs, also aids in the filtering process
What are the three parts to the nasal conchae? - ANSWER: superior, middle, inferior
What are the 4 sinuses of the face? - ANSWER: Frontal, Maxillary, Sphenoid, and
Ethmoid
What is the pharynx? - ANSWER: part of the throat that leads to the larynx and
esophagus
What are the three regions of the Pharynx? - ANSWER: nasopharynx, oropharynx,
laryngopharynx
What does the Nasopharynx contain? - ANSWER: pharyngeal tonsils
What does the Oropharynx contain? - ANSWER: palatine and lingual tonsils
, What are the functions of Tonsils? - ANSWER: Traps and destroys pathogens entering
the lungs
What are Conducting Zones? - ANSWER: Passageways that include the nose, nasal
cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles
What is the function of the Conducting Zones? - ANSWER: Cleanse, humidify, and
warm are coming into the lungs
What is the Respiratory Zones? - ANSWER: Respiratory Bronchioles, Alveolar Ducts,
and Alveoli
What is the function of the respiratory zone? - ANSWER: gas exchange
What is the Larynx? - ANSWER: voice box
What is the function of the Larynx? - ANSWER: Provides an open airway, Acts as the
switching mechanism between breathing and eating, Voice Production

connects the trachea to the larynx
What is the Epiglottis? - ANSWER: A flap that covers the larynx when swallowing
Vestibular Folds - ANSWER: (false vocal cords)
Superior to vocal folds
No part in sound production
Help to close glottis during swallowing
Vocal Folds (cords) - ANSWER: source of voice production; air moves past them, they
vibrate, and sound is produced; force of air determine loudness; tension determines
pitch
Glottis - ANSWER: Opening between vocal cords
What makes up the trachea? - ANSWER: 16-20 C shaped Cartilage rings that keeps
the airway open
what is the Carina? - ANSWER: where the trachea divides into left and right primary
bronchi
What does the Trachealis Muscle do? - ANSWER: Induces coughing
What is the Bronchi? - ANSWER: Air passageways in the lungs
