Exam 26: Anatomy of the Respiratory System

Raising the ribs enlarges the depth and width of the thorax.

The olfactory epithelium can be distinguished from the rest of the respiratory mucosa in the nose by its bright pink or red color.

Vocal cords and epiglottis are synonymous terms.

Anatomically,how does the right bronchus differ from the left bronchus,and what effect might this have on the aspiration of objects?

Ciliated cells lining the respiratory tract:

The pharynx serves as a passageway for both food and air.

The most important structure in the lower respiratory tract is the alveolus.

The oblique fissure is present only in the right lung.

Which of these structures is not part of the nasal septum?

Which of the following is not lined with a ciliated mucous membrane?

Which pair of tonsils is located in the oropharynx?

The development of the paranasal sinuses is complete relatively early during fetal development.

The rings of cartilage that form the trachea are incomplete rings that prevent it from collapsing and shutting off the vital airway.

Differentiate between the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the larynx,and give one function of each.

The movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the red blood cells is called cellular respiration.

Match each term with its corresponding statement or definition. -extends from the larynx in the neck to the primary bronchi; the windpipe

List the functions of the respiratory system.

The structure in the neck known as the "Adam's apple" is the:

Alveolar ducts consist of cartilage rings,smooth muscles,and endothelium.

The hollow nasal cavity is separated by a midline partition,the conchae,dividing it into a right cavity and a left cavity.
