cellular respiration
as cells use oxygen they release carbon dioxide a waste product. these oxygen using cellular processes are known as...
respiratory system
the role of this system is to supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide
respiration
to fulfill the role of the respiratory system, there are four distinct processes collectively referred to as this
pulmonary ventilation (ventilation, breathing)
movement of the air into and out of the lungs so that gases in the alveoli are continuously changed and refreshed
external respiration
gas exchange between the blood and the air filled chambers of the lungs, oxygen loading (carbon dioxide unloading)
transport of respiratory gases
the transport of respiratory gases between the lungs and tissue cells of the body using blood as the transport vehicle (cardiovascular system)
internal respiration
exchange gases between systemic blood and tissue cells( oxygen unloading carbon dioxide loading)
paranasal sinuses
surround the nasal cavity, named for the bones in which they are located, act as resonance chambers in speech
cleft palate
genetic defect, failure of the palatine bones and/or palatine processes of the maxillary bone to fuse medially, cause difficulty in breathing, sucking, chewing, speech
throat
pharynx, connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx and
esophagus
otitis media
because of the continuity of the middle ear and nasopharyngneal mucosae, nasal infections maybe invade the middle ear and cause this
adams apple
the large shield shaped thyroid cartilage, whose anterior medial laryngeal prominence is commonly referred to as this
respiratory bronchioles
the terminal branches of the bronchioles
respiratory tree
the continuous branching of the respiratory passageways in the lungs is often referred to as this
respiratory membrane
air blood barrier, the alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basal laminae form this
respiratory zone structures
alveolar sacs, alveolar ducts, and respiratory bronchioles. these structures are involved with the passing of oxygen/ carbon dioxide from the alveolar air to the capillary blood
conducting zone structures
nasal cavity to the terminal bronchioles. these structures serve access/exit routes to gas exchange chamber. anatomical dead space
