B. Alveoli

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the air we breathe in is called: A. Cellular respiration B. External respiration C. Internal respiration D. Breathing

B. External respiration

The rate of breathing is affected by which part of the brain? A. Cerebrum B. Medulla C. Cerebellum D. Frontal lobe

B. Medulla

An inflammation of the lining of the lung is called: A. Pneumonia B. Pleurisy C. Sinusitis D. Tuberculosis

Orthopnea

Difficult or labored breathing when the body is in a horizontal position.

Eupnea

Normal or easy breathing with usual quiet inhalations and exhalations

Oxidation

cellular respiration

Respiratory control:

inhibits inspiration and stimulates expiration

What is the cause of hiccoughs?

Caused by a spasm of the diaphragm and a spasmodic closure of the glottis.

Hyperpnea

Increase in the depth and rate of breathing accompanied by abnormal exaggeration of respiratory movements

Pressure in the pleural space

Less than atmospheric pressure

Intercoastal muscles

Muscle between the ribs that contract during inhalation

Breathing:

Ventilation

When air travels through the nose it is filtered and: A. Warmed and moistened B. Warmed and exchanged for carbon dioxide C. Cooled and exchanged for carbon dioxide D. cooled and moistened

A. Warmed and moistened

Tachypnea

Abnormal rapid shallow breathing

Difficult or labored breathing is known as: A. Eupnea B. Dyspnea C. Orthopnea D. Hyperpnea

B. Dyspnea

Hyperventilation

Condition that can be caused by disease or stress
