Respirtory System

Front 1

alveoli

Back 1

gas exchange structure within mammakian lungs; tiny air pocket with walls made of a membrane that is a single cell thick, allowing for exchange of respirtory gases

Front 2

Bronchiole

Back 2

in a mammel, the passageway that brancnes from the bronchi into the seperate lobes of the lungs; divides into smaller and smaller passageways.

Front 3

Bronchus (bronchi)

Back 3

in a mammal, the passageway that branches from the trachea into the lungs

Front 4

diaphragm

Back 4

in mammals, a mucles layer that seperates the region of the lungs (thoriatic cavity) from the region of the stomach and liver (abdominal cavity).

Front 5

epiglottis

Back 5

in mammals, flap of cartilage located over the enterence of the in mammals, flap of cartalage located over the entrance to the trachea. Closes during swallowing to prevent food in the respirtory track.

Front 6

glottis

Back 6

in mammals, the opening of the trachea through which air enters the larynx.

Front 7

lung

Back 7

either of the two saclike respiratory organs in the thoratic cavity. Essential in gas exchange.

Front 8

nasal passages

Back 8

passage from the nostrils to the back of the throat through which air enters the body; serves to warm, moisten, and clean incoming air; lined with ciliated cells and mucus secreting cells.

Front 9

pharynx

Back 9

structure located just behind the mouth that connects the mouth and nasal cavity to the larynx and the esophagus, passaway food food in digestive and air in respirtory.

Front 10

Spirograph

Back 10

graph representing the amount of air that moves in and out of the lungs with each breath
