The branches of the trachea that go into each lung

The 3 requirements for respiration

During inhalation, the rib muscles and diaphragm undergo this process

The amount of air in and out of lungs during normal breathing

An inflammation of the larynx

The air is filtered, cleaned, warmed, and moistened here

The gas exchange between alveoli (air) and capillaries (blood)

During exhalation, the volume experiences this

The total amount of air that can enter or exit the lungs

Can be acute (bacterial) or chronic (irritants), inflammation of the bronchi

The dome-like muscle that regulates pressure, and separates the thoracic cavity from the abdomen

The gas exchange between capillaries (blood) and body tissue

99% of the blood oxygen is carried by this protein

The amount of air remaining in the airways and lungs to prevent collapse

Cancer causing chemicals or toxins

The opening to the trachea

The process that produces the waste product to be exhaled

70% of the carbon dioxide is dissolved as this

Excess air that can be forced out past the tidal volume

The disorder where the walls of the alveoli break down and results in reduced surface area

The site of gas exchange between the air and blood

The terms for inhaling and exhaling

The primary regulator of breathing detects a decrease in this value

A way to measure the inspiratory reserve volume (formula) - used in lab

A genetic chronic condition that results in the overproduction of mucus that cannot be coughed out, significantly reduces life expectancy
