Q&A
What does the respiratory system do? - answer-Brings in oxygen to go into the cells, and picks
up carbon dioxide to be removed from the bodyguard
What are the 7 parts of the respiratory system? - answer-1. Nose
2. Pharynx
3. Larynx (voice box)
4. Trachea (windpipe)
5. Bronchi
6. Bronchioles
7. Alveoli
What are alveoli surrounded by to allow the exchange of O2 and CO2? - answer-Capillaries
What is cilia? - answer-Tiny hairs in the nose and trachea that wave particles up away and out
What is mucus? - answer-Something that keeps the air warm and moist but also traps particles
What does hemoglobin do? - answer-Carries oxygen through the blood
What is pleura? - answer-Sacs that surround the lungs
What is the diaphragm? - answer-The muscle at the bottom of the thoracic cavity
What happens during inhalation? - answer-Diaphragm moves down (contracts), rib cage rises,
volume of chest cavity increases, air moves in to fill the space
,What happens during exhalation? - answer-Diaphragm moves up (relaxes), rib cage lowers,
space becomes smaller, air is pushed out of lungs
What does the medulla oblongata do? - answer-Controls breathing
What is chronic bronchitis? - answer-Bronchi swell and become clogged with mucus
What is emphysema? - answer-Tissues in lungs lose elasticity; tissues can't enough O2 or get
rid of enough CO2
What is lung cancer? - answer-Cells that do not stop reproducing; can spread to other locations
because lungs are so central and connected to so much; survival is generally less then 5 years
from diagnosis
What is elastic recoil? - answer-The ability for the alveoli to get filled with air then return to their
normal shape once the air is released
What is a spirometer? - answer-an instrument for measuring the air capacity of the lungs
What is tidal volume? - answer-The amount of air taken in and breathed out in a typical breath
What is supplemental volume? - answer-The xtra air that can be inhaled or exhaled with a deep
breath
What is reserve amount? - answer-The amount of extra air you can breathe out when you force
air out of your lungs
What is residual amount? - answer-The amount of air in your lungs that you cannot get rid of
(even during forced exhaling)
,What is vital capacity? - answer-All the air you can control going in or out of your lungs
(supplemental + reserve = vital)
What is total capacity? - answer-From the top of your supplemental amount to the bottom of
your residual volume
Main idea - answer-the most important or central thought of a paragraph or larger section of
text, which tells the reader what the text is about
Topic - answer-a particular issue or idea that serves as the subject of a paragraph, essay,
report, or speech
-topic is the general subject of a paragraph
-Topics are simple and are described with just a word or a phrase.
-main idea is a complete sentence; it includes the topic - answer-What's the difference between
a topic and main idea?
Key ideas - answer-Ideas that support controlling idea
Controlling idea - answer--your opinion about the topic.
- It helps the reader understand your purpose for writing the paragraph or essay
Conclusion - answer-A deduction made by the reader about an unstated outcome from reading
passage
Inference - answer-A conclusion one can draw from the presented details.
anatomical position - answer-a standard position in which the body is facing forward, the feet
are parallel to each other, and the arms are at the sides with the palms facing forward
, Cells - answer-The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
Cellular functions - answer-Processes that include growth, metabolism, replication, protein
synthesis, and movement
Directional terminology - answer-Words used to explain relationships of locations of anatomical
elements (distal, posterior, medial, etc.)
organ system - answer-A group of organs that work together in performing vital body functions.
Organelle - answer-specialized structure that performs important cellular functions within a
eukaryotic cell
Organ - answer-A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body
Reference Planes - answer-Planes dividing the body to describe locations
(ex: sagittal, coronal, and transverse)
Tissue - answer-A group of similar cells that perform a specific function.
Eukaryotic cells - answer-Contain a nucleus and other organelles that are bound by
membranes.
prokaryotic cell - answer-cell that does not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound
organelles. (Bacteria)
Ribosome - answer-site of protein synthesis
