    Study Notes

    Respiratory System MCQs

    • Upper Respiratory System: Nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles
    • Lower Respiratory System: Bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs and alveoli
    • Conducting Zone: Larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs
    • Respiratory Zone: Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs and alveoli
    • Paranasal Sinuses: Frontal, Ethmoidal, Sphenoidal, Maxillary
    • Pharynx: Common passage for air and food
    • Larynx: Voice box, short cylindrical airway ending in trachea
    • Trachea: Conducts air into the lower respiratory tract
    • Bronchi: First part conducting air
    • Lungs: Paired thoracic cavity structures, conical shape, separated by mediastinum, right lung has 3 lobes, left lung has 2 lobes
    • Alveoli: Small saccular outpocketings, promote gas exchange between alveoli and blood in pulmonary capillaries
    • Epiglottis: Leaf-shaped piece of elastic cartilage, prevents food and liquids from entering trachea
    • Glottis: Triangular slit opening between vocal folds, preventing foreign objects from entering the trachea
    • Bronchial Circulation: Supplies oxygenated blood to the lungs
    • Pulmonary Circulation: Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
    • Respiratory Muscles: Diaphragm, intercostal muscles
    • Conducting Zone Function: Filter, warm, and moisten incoming air
    • Respiratory Zone Function: Gas exchange, diffusion of gases between alveoli and blood,
