Term Definition
respiration exchange of gas between an organism and its environment
process of respiration inhale, chest and lungs expand, diaphragm lowers, air flows in through the nose and mouth, air goes down pharynx and between open vocal folds, air continues downward through trachea and bronchial tubes, air reaches final destination of lungs
bronchi tubes that extend from the lungs upward toward the trachea, composed of cartilaginous rings bound together by fibroelastic tissue
bronchioles what bronchi are subdivided into, repeatedly divide until they communicate with alveolar ducts that open into tiny air sacs in lungs
trachea tube formed by 20 rings of cartilage, come into direct contact with esophagus in back
first tracheal ring largest, connects to inferior or bottom border of the cricoid cartilage
trachea extends into level of the---- cervical vertebra sixth, and last tracheal ring splits in two
splits in two called what bifurcates (trachea does this into left and right primary bronchi at the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra
spinal column made up of -- 32-33 individual vertebrae
-- cervical vertebrae seven
-- thoracic vertebrae twelve
-- lumbar vertebrae five
-- sacral vertebrae five
-- coccygeal vertebrae three to four
sternum consists of manubrium, body and xiphoid process
diaphragm floor of the chest cavity, domeshaped muscle
internal intercostalscritical for respiration- 11 paired muscles, pull ribcage down critical for respiration- 11 paired muscles, pull ribcage down
external intercostals raise the ribs up- 11 paired muscles
serratus posterior superior elevates rib cage
levator costarum brevis elevates rib cage
levator costarum longis elevates rib cage
sternocleidomastoid elevates the sternum, indirectly the rib cage
trapezius controls head/elongates neck- influences respiration
pectoralis major increase transverse dimension of rib cage through elevation of sternum
pectoralis minor increases transverse dimension of rib cage
serratus anterior elevates ribs 1-9
levator scapulae elevates scapula, supports neck
rhomboideus major stabilizes shoulder girdle
rhomboideus minor stabilizes shoulder girdle
transverse thoracicus depresses ribs
latissimus dorsi stabilizes posterior abdominal wall for expiration
rectus abdominus flexes vertebral column
transverse abdominus compresses abdomen
internal oblique abdominus compresses abdomen, flexes and rotates trunk
quadratus lumborum supports ab compression throughout bilateral contraction, which fixes ab walls
biological functions of larynx closure of trachea so food doesn't enter lungs, cough reflex, subglottic pressure
hyoid bone suspends larynx, floats under mandible
epiglottis protective structure, drops to cover orifice of larynx
