|
Respiration |
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide |
|
|
Inspiration |
Oxygen is delivered |
|
|
Expiration |
Breathe/eliminate waste products |
|
|
Alveoli |
Tiny air sacs |
|
|
Two-Function Phonation |
Power in and out of your lungs (voicing; talking) |
|
|
Air Pressure |
The force exerted by air (if volumn is decreased, pressure increases and air flows out until pressures in and out are equal (Boyle's Law, equilibrium)); inhalation requires expansion of the chest, rib cage rises, diaphragm lowers |
|
|
Clavicle |
Collarbone |
|
|
Costal |
Rib |
|
|
Verterbra Foramen |
Hole in the veterbrae |
|
|
Inter-Veterbral Foramina |
Little hole in between vertebrae |
|
|
Sternum |
Breast Plate |
|
|
Corpus |
Body |
|
|
Tubercle |
Swelling |
|
|
Ventilation |
Movement of air from outside to lungs |
|
|
External Respiration |
Exchange of gases between walls of lungs (O, CO2) |
|
|
Internal Respiration |
Oxygen (O) + Carbon dioxide (CO2) is exchanged between the blood and the cells (takes place in the alveoli) |
|
|
Spinous Process |
Projection from the back of a verterbrae |
|
|
Transverse Process |
Projection from right and left side of each verterbrae |
|
|
Vertebral Column |
The bony structure made of verterbrae |
|
|
Five divisions of the vetebral column |
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal |

11th, 12th Rib |
Floating Ribs |
|
|
Xiphoid Process |
The smallest and lowest division of the sternum |
|
|
Chest Wall (Thoracic Wall) |
Rib cage, diaphragm, and abdomen |
|
|
Mediastinum |
Most protected area including the heart, blood vessels and esophagus |

Oblique Fissure |
Divides the upper and lower lobes of the left lung |
|
|
Horizontal Fissure |
A fissure on the right lung that begins at the oblique fissure |
|
|
Trachea |
Elastic; rigid; air passes through; located midline in neck and chest; cartilage connected by membranes |
|
|
Bronchies |
Branches out to bronchioles |
|
|
Two Lubricated Linings |
Visceral pleurae and parietal pleurae |
|
|
Diaphragm |
Plays a part in speech; seperates the thoracic from acitivity cavity; inervated by right and left phrenic nerves; upside down bowl shaped; flattens on contraction (chest expands; organs move down) |
