ectoderm
The elastic cartilage that covers the opening to the larynx during swallowing is the
epiglottis
Increased ventilation that results in an increase in blood pH is called ________.
hyperventilation
A decrease in volume leads to a(n) ________ pressure.
increase in
The process by which dissolved gases are exchanged between the blood and interstitial fluids is
internal respiration.
The ________ is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum forceful expiration.
residual volume
Which of the following prevents the alveoli from collapsing?
residual volume
Gas flow decreases as ________ increases.
resistance
A low partial pressure of oxygen promotes hemoglobin binding to carbon dioxide. This is an example of the ________.
Haldane effect
Which of the following anatomical structures is not part of the conducting zone?
alveoli
Gas moves from an area of ________ partial pressure to an area of ________ partial pressure.
high;low
In quiet breathing,
inspiration involves muscular contractions and expiration is passive.
The amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled after a normal inspiration is the
inspiratory reserve volume.
Which of the following occurs during the chloride shift?
Chloride is exchanged for bicarbonate.
Phagocytic cells of the alveolus are the
alveolar macrophages.
Pulmonary ventilation refers to the
movement of air into and out of the lungs.
The most common cell making up the alveolar wall is the
alveolar type I cell.
An increase in the partial pressure of CO2 causes bronchioles to
dilate
Which of the following stimulates the production of erythrocytes?
erythropoietin
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the alveoli and blood in the lungs is called
external respiration.
Which of the following structures separates the lung into lobes?
fissure
Oxyhemoglobin forms by a chemical reaction between which of the following?
hemoglobin and oxygen
Gas exchange that occurs at the level of the tissues is called
internal respiration
Boyle's law states that gas volume is
inversely proportional to pressure
The ________ circulation picks up oxygen for cellular use and drops off carbon dioxide for removal from the body.
respiratory
The pressure difference between the intra-alveolar and intrapleural pressures is called ________.
transpulmonary pressure
Inhaling through the nostrils is preferred over the mouth because
it allows better conditioning of the inhaled air.
Exercise can trigger symptoms of AMS due to which of the following?
small venous reserve oxygen
Which of the following structures is not part of the bronchial tree?
terminal bronchioles
About 70% of the CO2 that diffuses into systemic capillaries
combines with water to form carbonic acid, which then dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.

difficulty inflating the lungs
Babies can pull oxygen from mom's blood because they have more hemoglobin molecules per red blood cell.
false
Air moves out of the lungs when the pressure inside the lungs is
greater than the pressure in the atmosphere.
What is the function of the conchae in the nasal cavity?
increase surface area
The main function of serous fluid is to
lubricate and reduce friction between pleural membranes around the lung.
