Matching. Choices are used once or not at all. A) CO2 O) olfactory epithelium CC) hard palate B) respiratory acidosis P) nasopharynx DD) diffusion C) H2O Q) cystic fibrosis EE) epiglottis D) hemoglobin R) mitochondrion FF) HCO3- E) pneumothorax S) rise GG) O2 F) medulla oblongata T) soft palate HH) pitch G) hiccup U) tuberculosis II) sphenoid H) larynx V) visceral pleura JJ) oropharynx I) surfactant W) peripheral chemoreceptor KK) fall J) respiratory epithelium X) CO LL) rebreathing K) alveolus Y) parietal pleura MM) glottis L) directionality Z) concha NN) maxillary M) atelectasis AA) N2 OO) intensity N) hyperventilation BB) central chemoreceptor PP) nasal septum 1) The main purpose of the respiratory system is to obtain lots of this from the atmosphere. 2) This contains sensors that detect odors. 3) Considered an obstructive type of respiratory problem. 4) A build-up of CO2 in the blood can lead to this problem. 5) A chemical that prevents alveoli from collapsing. 6) Refers to a lung collapse. 7) This creates turbulence in the nasal cavity to help clean the air. 8) The only organelle that can make ATP using O2. 9) Air pressure in the pleural cavity must be made to ___ when we want to inspire. 10) This can help correct respiratory alkalosis. 11) This is the most troublesome paranasal sinus because it doesn't drain easily. 12) This mainly consists of the maxillary bone. 13) This is the cartilaginous chamber just below the glottis. 14) This monitors the CSF for pH changes. 15) This refers to the specific space located posterior to the buccal cavity. 16) A very thin-walled, tiny structure used for rapid gas exchange in the lungs. 17) Almost all CO2 is transported through the blood as this molecule. 18) This builds up in cells as they produce ATP. 19) You could not determine this about an odor without two nares. 20) This prevents food from entering the trachea. 21) This is the only process used to exchange gases. 22) This is determined by how tense the vocal cords are. 23) This is the lining of the pleural cavity. 24) Helps clean the air in the respiratory tract as it travels to the lungs. 25) This monitors the blood for pH changes. 26) This prevents food from entering the nasal cavity. 27) Almost all O2 is transported through the blood bound to this protein.

A. The amount of air that is normally inspired and expired with each quiet breath is the expiratory reserve volume, not the reserve air, vital capacity, or tidal volume. B. Select the correct statement about the pharynx: - The adenoid tonsils are located in the nasopharynx, not the laryngopharynx. - The auditory (pharyngotympanic or eustachian) tube drains into the nasopharynx, not the oropharynx. - The oropharynx blends caudally into the laryngopharynx, not the nasopharynx. - The palatine tonsils are embedded in the lateral walls of the oropharynx, not the nasopharynx. C. The lining of the pleural cavity is the parietal pleura, not the epicardial, endopleural, or visceral pleura. D. Bile is not an enzyme, but it is extremely important in the digestion of lipids, not amylase, lactone, or pepsinogen. E. The rib 1, manubrium of sternum, body of vertebra T1, and clavicle all form part of the boundary of the thoracic inlet. F. Oxidative phosphorylation generates more ATP per glucose molecule than glycolysis does, not the other way around. G. The descending aorta is in the posterior mediastinum, not the heart, thymus, or spleen. H. Most water is removed from the digestive tract by the kidneys, not the large intestine, small intestine, or stomach. I. The chemosensitive area of the brainstem respiratory center has receptors for both CO2 and H ions. J. False. Negative feedback operates to prevent any change in the value of a controlled factor in the body, not true.
