This structure is lined by stratified squamous and extends into the esophagus and the larynx. 

Definition
Laryngopharynx
Term

This struture is assosciated with speech, keeps the airway open and is covered by the epiglottis when swallowing food.

Definition
Larynx
Term

This muscle forms the body of the vocal folds (cords).

Definition
Vocalis muscles
Term

Changing the shape of this structure creates the English vowel sounds.

Definition
Pharynx
Term

This structure is made of mucosa, submucosa and adventitia layers, is supported by horseshaped cartilage and is lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar.

Definition
Trachea
Term

The organs in this system are covered by serous membrane known as pleura.

Definition
Respiratory system
Term

T or F

 

The Right lung has three lobes and the Left lung has two lobes.

Definition
True
Term

This structure allows for changes in air pressure in the middle ear.

Definition
Opening of the Pharyngotympanic tube
Term

Opening of the Pharyngotympanic tube is found in this part of the respiratory tract.

Definition
Nasopharynx
Term

The primary function of this structure is to provide increased surface area for warming and moisturizing the air.

Definition
Nasal Conchae
Term

This structure snaps back and forth cutting a stream of air into puffs of air.

Definition
Vocal Cord
Term

This structure is filled with air, lightens the skull and acts as a resonance chamber to influence the timbre of your voice.

Definition
paranasal sinuses
Term

This structure of elastic cartilage prevents food from entering the respiratory passageway.

Definition
Epiglottis
Term

Inside of the respiratory tract is mostly lined with this type of epithelium.

Definition
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar
Term

Inside of the urinary tract is mostly lined with this type of epithelium.

Definition
Transitional
Term

The respiratory tract is supported by this type of cartilage.

Definition
Hyaline
Term

This structure is found in the cortex of the kidneys, is the functioning unit of the kidney and processes filtrate into urine.

Definition
Nephron
Term

_______ provides a barrier agianst infection and trauma for the kindey.

Definition
Fibrous capsule
Term

This structure is a ball of fenestrated capillaries, it filters the blood  and is located in the cortex of the kidney.

Definition
Glomeruli
Term

The medulla of the kidney is made up of this structure.

Definition
Collecting ducts
Term

The low pressure in the space assist in keeping the lungs expanded.

Definition
Intrapleural space
Term
10% of carbon dioxide is carried in this form.
Definition
Dissloved in the plasma
Term

Carbonic anhydrase assist in the formation of this molecule

Definition
carbonic acid
Term

Chloride is shifted into the RBCs to replace the transport of this molecule out of the RBCs and into the blood plasma.

Definition
bicarbonate
Term

Hydrogen ions produced inside RBCs attach to this molecule to initiate the Bohr effect.

Definition
oxyhemoglobin
Term

70% of carbon dioxide is transported in this form.

Definition
bicarbonate
Term

The majority of oxygen is transported in this form

Definition
oxyhemoglobin
Term

Hydrogen ions produced in the blood are buffered by this molecule.

Definition
Blood proteins
Term

This reflex keeps the lungs from over expanding, helps control the depth and rythm of breathing and intiates exhale.

Definition
Hering Breuer Reflex
Term

This pH imbalance would occur if you were had pneumonia or emphysema.

Definition
Respiratory acidosis
Term

Jill has vomiting and diarrhea. What pH imbalance would occur?

Definition
Metabolic acidosis
Term

Jill took too many antiacids. What pH imbalance would occur?

Definition
metabolic alkalosis
Term

Someone who high anxiety can develop this pH imbalance?

Definition
Respiratory alkalosis
Term

Someone who has mucus accumulation in their respiratory tract and gas exchange is low. What pH imbalance would develop?
