B. esophagus
C. thorax
D. diaphragm
serves as a partial attachment for many muscles, the smallest
A. the manubrium
B. the corpus
C. the xiphoid process
During quiet/passive exhalation____ from the stretched inspiratory muscles is released
A. potential (stored) energy
B. active expiratory pressure
C. recoil forces
D. non-muscular forces
breath hold, bare down (e.g., giving birth)
A. intra-thoracic pressure
B. abdominal unit
C. external intercostal muscles
D. negative subglottal pressure
elastic tissue that inflates and deflates and as a result move air
A. lungs
B. trachea
C. thorax
D. ribs
passive expiration is accomplished by
A. non-muscular forces (recoil forces)
B. muscular forces
C. potential (stored) energy
D. passive expiratory pressure
the smallest branches stemming from the secondary bronci, lead to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs allowing air to enter into the blood
A. bronchioles
B. thorax
C. lungs
D. diaphragm
serves for attachment of certain respiratory muscles like the trapezius, pectoralis major and sternocleidomastoid
A. clavicle
B. sternum
C. abdominal wall
D. bronchi
for the lungs to inflate (inspiration), alveolar pressure must be more than atmospheric pressure
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
the act of inspiration is always passive
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
supplies innervation to the diaphragm
A. phrenic nerves ( C3,4,5)
B. spinal nerves
C. CN X
D. CN V
the lungs are apposed (or connected) to the thorax by….
A. pleural linkage
B. visceral pleura
C. parietal pleura
D. functional residual capacity
the chest cavity that surrounds and protects the lungs, the heart, and other respiratory structures
A. thorax
B. ribs
C. diaphragm
D. abdominal wall
alveolar pressure is changed by 2 forces: passive and active forces
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
neither the lung nor the thorax is really at their respective rest position
A. functional residual capacity
B. visceral pleura
C. TLC
D. pleural linkage
consists of 3 processes that serve as attachments for the respiratory muscles: manubrium, corpus, xiphoid process
A. sternum
B. abdominal wall
C. thorax
D. trachea
developed by the contraction of the respiratory muscles, alveolar pressure is changed by____
A. passive force
B. active force
When the respiratory system is at rest, the lungs are partially ____ at “rest”
A. inflated
B. deflated
has passive and active properties, during effortful tasks like coughing, sneezing, and certain voicing tasks, it contracts to compress the contents inside
A. abdominal wall
B. diaphragm
C. sternum
D. clavicle
a membrane that covers the lung
A. visceral pleura
B. parietal pleura
C. pleural linkage
during inhalation the lung volume increases, air molecules are less compressed, creating a vacuum called…
A. negative subglottal pressure
B. abdominal unit
C. intra-thoracic pressure
D. sternum
diaphragm and external intercostal muscles
A. muscles of quiet inspiration
B. muscles of forced inspiration
when the diaphragm moves downward and the force is transferred to the lower ribs moving them outward, the pressure rises and the lower rib cage….
A. expands
B. shrinks
C. rests
D. contracts
a membrane that covers the thorax
A. visceral pleura
B. parietal pleura
C. pleural linkage
For air to flow out of the lungs (expiration), alveolar pressure must be less than atmospheric pressure
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
