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,
