Anatomy and Physiology of the Respiratory System

What primary gas product is removed from your system during Exhalation?

• Air

• Oxygen

• Carbon Dioxide

• Carbon Monoxide

The two main branches extending from the trachea to the lungs

• Bronchi

• Alveoli

• Capillaries

• Bronchioles

Where the exchange of gases actually occur?

• Bronchi

• Trachea

• Oxygen

• Alveoli

The tube that conveys air to and from the lungs; the windpipe

• Esophagus

• Bronchi

• Trachea

• Alveoli

The thin skeletal muscle that sits at the base of the chest and separates the abdomen from the chest. It contracts and flattens when you inhale.

• Intercostal

• Diaphragm

• Epiglottis

• Larynx

The "gate" that prevents food or fluid from entering the trachea.

• Pharynx

• Larynx

• Esophagus

• Epiglottis

Is inhalation an "active" movement or "passive"

• Active

• Passive

Pair of serous membranes lining the thorax and enveloping the lungs

• Alveoli

• Pericardium

• Pleura

• Bronchi

The Primary to drive to breath

• Decrease Potassium in the arterial blood

• Increase Nitrogen in the arterial blood

• Decrease Oxygen in the arterial blood

• Increase Carbon Dioxide levels in the arterial blood

The central control of breathing

• Epiglottis

• Medulla

• Vocal Chords

• Pleura
