| Fork at the lower end of the trachea where the two mainstem bronchi branch | Carina |
| Insertion of a tube | Intubation |
| Tube designed to be inserted into the trachea; oxygen, medication, or a suction catheter can be directed into the trachea through an endotracheal tube. | Endotracheal tube |
| Area directly above the openings o both the trachea and the esophagus | Hypopharynx |
| Inadequate oxygenation, or oxygen starvation | Hypoxia |
| Opening to the trachea | Glottic opening |
| Tube that leads from the pharynx to the stomach | Esophagus |
| To provide ventilatons at a higher rate to compensate for oxygen not delivered during intubation or suctioning | Hyperventilate |
| Leaf-shaped structure that acts as covering to the opening of the trachea and that prevents fod and foreign matter from entering it | Epiglottis |
| Ring-shaped structure that circles the trachea at the lower portion of the larynx | Cricoid cartilage |
| Two large sets of branches that come off the trachea and enter the lungs | Bronchi |
| Voice box | Larynx |
| Microscopic sacs of the lungs where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place | Alveoli |
| Illuminating instrument that is inserted into the pharynx to permit visualization of the pharynx and larynx | Laryngoscope |
| Esophageal intubation detector device that may be used to detect incorect placement (or to verify correct placement) of the endotracheal tube | EIDD |
| Placement of an endotracheal tube through the mouth and into the trachea | Orotracheal intubation |
| "Windpipe"; structure that connects the pharynx to the lungs | Trachea |
| Two thin folds of tissue within the larynx that vibrate as air passes between them, producing sounds | Vocal cords |
| Long, thin, flexible metal probe | Stylet |
| Either of the two (right or left) large sets of branches that come off the trachea and enter the lungs | Manstem bronchi |
| Groove-like structure anterior to the epiglottis | Vallecula |
| Tube designed to be passed through the nose, nasopharynx, and esophagus. It is used to relieve distention of the stomach in an infant or child patient | Nasogastric tube (NG tube) |
| Area directly posterior to the nose | Nasopharynx |
| Area directly posterior to the mouth | Oropharynx |
| Pressure applied to the cricoid cartilage to suppress vomiting and bing the vocal cords into view; also called cricoid pressure | Sellick's maneuver |
