| Is the esophagus anterior or posterior to the trachea? | posterior |
| What gives the trachea rigidity? | the cartilage C-rings |
| Why is the trachea rigid? | to keep the airway open; so that it won't collapse and obstruct breathing |
| Name of the "windpipe": | trachea |
| Why can the pharynx obstruct the airway? | because it is soft tissue |
| When might obstruction of pharynx occur? | 1)when tongue falls back in throat of unconscious patient; 2)aspiration of vomitus in unconscious patient; 3) sleep apnea |
| What causes obstructive sleep apnea? | the pharynx collapses during sleep & obstructs breathing |

| The terminal end of the trachea divides into the: | right & left primary bronchi |
| Name the bronchi that branch off the the right & left bronchus: | secondary bronchi |
| True or False: The trachea is lined with cilia. | true |
| When food is aspirated, in which primary bronchi would it more likely lodge? | right bronchus |
| The smallest branches of bronchi are called: | bronchioles |
| Name for air sacs: | alveoli |
| What is the bronchial tree? | the network of alveoli, bronchioles, and bronchi |
| Where are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged? | capillaries that surround the alveoli |
| How many lobes does the right lung have? | three |
| Name the membrane that covers the lungs and chest cavity wall. | pleura |
| Movement of diaphragm: breathing in | moves down |
| What causes hiccups? | sudden diaphragmatic contractions |
| What is the normal breathing rate range? | between 12 and 20 respirations per minute |
| Approximately how much oxygen is in the air we inhale? | 21% |
| Name the term: absence of breathing | apnea |
| Name the term: unusually slow breathing | bradypnea |
| Name the term: labored or difficult breathing | dyspnea |

| Name the term: periods of abnormal breathing; apnea followed by dyspnea | Cheyne-Stokes |
| Name the term: difficulty swallowing | dysphagia |
| Name the term: grating sounds in lungs | crepitation |
| Name the term: coughing up blood | hemoptysis |
| Name the term: a blunting of tinger tips as a result of low oxygen in blood | clubbing |

| Name the disease: there are over 200 different viruses that cause this upper respiratory track illness; symptoms of cough, headache, runny nose & sneezing | common cold |
| Name the disease: this inherited disease affects the lungs and digestive system | cystic fibrosis |
| Another name for "nose bleed": | epitaxis |
| Name the disease: inflammation of voice box | laryngitis |
| Name the disease: inflammation of lung's membrane that results in sharp pain while inhaling air | pleurisy |
| Name the disease: a collection of fluid in pleural space due to a lung infection | pleural effusion |
| Name the disease: this infectious lung disease is caused by a bacteria; symptoms include: fever, fatigue, night sweats, weight loss & hemoptysis | tuberculosis (TB) |
| Name the disease: loss of alveoli elasticity | emphysema |
| Why does the left lung have only two lobes? | position of heart |
