Definition
increase
Term
decrease resistance, ________ flow
Definition
increase
Term
ohm's law:
pressure (E) = FLOW X ______
Definition
resistance
Term
speed
Definition
distance in a given time
Term
velocity
Definition
directional speed
Term
acceleration
Definition
change in velocity over time
Term
newton's first law
Definition
object will accelerate only if acted upon by an outside force (INERTIA)
Term
newton's second law
Definition
the net force of an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration and points in the direction of the acceleration (net force = mass x acceleration)

nasal passages, nasopharynx, oral passage, pharynx, larynx, trachea, broncih and lungs
Term
what is meant by the term "overlaid process"?
Definition
the speech mechanisms originally had other purposes
Term
what are the three parts of the pharynx?

the right lung has ___ lobes and the left has ____ lobes
Definition
3;2
Term
pleura
Definition
thin membrane covering the lung surface
Term
visceral pleura
Definition
covers lung surface
Term
parietal pleura
Definition
lines inside of chest cavity
Term
lungs are made up of ________
Definition
highly elastic tissue (NOT MUSCLE)
Term
what is the function of the pleurae?
Definition
they provide a friction free surface for the lungs to follow the movements of the chest cavity
Term
the lungs work ________ of each other
Definition
independently
Term
serous fluid
Definition
slippery fluid between the pleura that causes surface tension
Term
Charles' Law
Definition
pressure is propotional to temperature
Term

Term
intrathoracic pressure is always more ________ than pressure in the lungs
Definition
negative
Term
tidal volume
Definition
volume of gas expired/ inspired each resting cycle
Term
inspiratory reserve volume

Definition
positive
Term
relaxation pressure is negative when it acts to _______ lung volume
Definition
increase
Term
_______ holds the lungs and the thorax together because the lungs want to contract and the chest wants to expand.
Definition
negative presssure
Term
explain how a respirometer works
Definition
a person exhales air into a mask, the inside cylinder rises proportionally to the amount of air you exhailed into it
