Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Respiratory System

front 1

Components of the respiratory system include the:

back 1

nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs(with their alveoli), diaphragm & muscles surrounding the ribs.

front 2

Name the 8 major components of the respiratory system:

1._______________ 2. _____________________

3._______________ 4. _____________________

5._______________ 6. _____________________

7._______________ 8. _____________________

back 2

1. Nose
2. Pharynx
3. Larynx
4. Trachea
5. Bronchi
6. Lungs
7. Diaphragm
8. Muscles surrounding the ribs

front 3

Respiration is controlled by the

back 3

respiratory control center

front 4

Where is the respiratory control center located

back 4

In the medulla of the brain

*Blue spots at bottom

front 5

The respiratory system

back 5

supplies oxygen to the body & eliminates carbon dioxide.

front 6

External respiration

back 6

refers to the exchange of gases between the atmosphere & the blood through the alveoli.

* The alveoli is off to the right in box (looks like a bunch of grapes on a green stem).*

front 7

Internal respiration refer to the

back 7

exchange of gases between the blood & the body cells.

front 8

Diagram of: Respiration, External Respiration & Internal Respiration.

back 8

front 9

The passageways between the __a___ __a__ & the

__b__ conduct _c__ to & from the lungs.

back 9

a. nasal cavities
b. alveoli
c. gases

front 10

The upper passageways also serve to

back 10

warm, filter & moisten incoming air.

front 11

The upper respiratory tubules are lined with _____ that help to trap debris & keep foreign substances from entering the lungs.

back 11

cilia

front 12

True/False
Inhalation requires the contraction of the diaphragm to enlarge the chest cavity & draw air into the lungs.

back 12

~TRUE~

front 13

Exhalation is a passive process during which

back 13

the lungs recoil as the respiratory muscles relax & the throax (chest area) decreases in size.

front 14

Most of the oxygen in blood is

back 14

bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells.

front 15

True/False
Oxygen is released from hemoglobin as the concentration of oxygen drops in the tissues.

back 15

~TRUE~

front 16

Some carbon dioxide is

back 16

carried in solution or bound to blood proteins, BUT most is converted to bicarbonate ion by carbonic anhydrase w/in red blood cells.

front 17

What happens to SOME carbon dioxide in the body?

back 17

They are carried in solution or bound to blood proteins.

front 18

What happens to MOST carbon dioxide in the body?

back 18

It is converted to bicarbonate ion by carbonic anhydrase within RBC's (red blood cells).

front 19

Because most carbon dioxide is converted to bicarbonate ion this reaction

back 19

releases hydrogen ions, carbon dioxide is a regulator of blood pH.

front 20

Is carbon dioxide a blood pH regulator?

back 20

~YES~
