description
Gas exchange between alveoli and blood
 External respiration
Match the 4 aspects of respiration to their
description
Gas exchange between blood and tissue
fluid
 Internal respiration
Match the 4 aspects of respiration to their
description

The respiratory tract consists of two primary
portions. What are they and what are their
components?
*Conducting portion – Nasal cavity to bronchioles
*Respiratory portion -Respiratory bronchioles and alveoli
We can also divide the respiratory system
into upper and lower portions. List their
components.
 Upper respiratory tract –
 Nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx
We can also divide the respiratory system
into upper and lower portions. List their
components.
 Lower respiratory tract –
 Larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs
Aside from carrying air, what is the function
of the upper respiratory tract? List 3 aspects
 Gas conditioning
 Filter
Warm
Humidify
4 basic tissues in our respiratory tract
 Vestibule, external nares (fingers go here)
 Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
4 basic tissues in our respiratory tract
Oro and laryngopharynx, top of larynx
(food and air) –
 Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
4 basic tissues in our respiratory tract
 Nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses,
nasopharynx, inferior larynx, trachea,
bronchi, and large bronchioles (air only)
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
4 basic tissues in our respiratory tract
Alveoli (gas exchange) –
Simple squamous epithelium
What is the technical term for our nostrils?
 External nares
What do we call the similar area where air
passes from our nasal cavity into our throat?
 Internal nares
What is the technical term for the area
behind our nasal and oral cavities?
Pharynx

Match the portion of this area to its
description
Between the hyoid bone and the opening to
the esophagus

What structure (the potential site of an
emergency airway) occurs between the two
cartilages?
 Cricothyroid ligament/membrane
What spoon-shaped structure that protrudes
superior to the voice box folds over the
opening between the vocal chords during
swallowing?
 Epiglottis
What do we call the opening between the
vocal chords?
 Glottis
Two sets of folds occur in the voice box.
Match each to its description.
 Elastic, medial, sound-producing folds
 Vocal folds
Two sets of folds occur in the voice box.
Match each to its description.
Inelastic, lateral, don’t produce sounds
 Vestibular folds
What is the technical term for the windpipe?
 Trachea
Describe the structures that keep the
windpipe open. Explain why they have this
shape
 C-shaped cartilage rings
 Allow esophagus to distend
Into what two tubes does the windpipe
bifurcate?
 Primary bronchi
In which bronchus are foreign objects more
likely to lodge? Why?
 Right
Wider
Steeper descent
List the names of the lobes in the lungs.
 Right
 Superior, middle, inferior
List the names of the lobes in the lungs.

The heart crowds one lung. Which lung is it
and what do we call the 2 resulting features?
 Left
 Cardiac impression (medial)
 Cardiac notch (anterior view)
What surface of the lung follows the
contours of the rib cage?
 Costal surface
What surface of the lung faces medially?
 Mediastinal surface
What do we call the groove, or concavity,
that provides an entry point for bronchi,
pulmonary vessels, and nerves?
 Hilum
What do we call the entire complex of
structures that enter the lung and the
connective tissue that binds them?
 Root
Name two ways in which the construction
of the terminal bronchioles differs from the
bronchi
