Describe the central nervous system.

It provides the means to help us process, perceive and make sense on information.

What is the only unpaired muscle of respiration?

The diaphragm

Describe the external intercostal muscles.

They are cartilaginous muscles located at the edge of each rib. It helps elevate the rib cage and is responsible for inspiration.

What is respiration?

Is the exchange of gas between an organism and the environment. It occurs in the alveolar sac in the lungs.

What is a manometer.

Is a tool used to measure the air pressure.

Describe the trachea

Is a cartilaginous tube that connects the larynx and the bronchial passageway. It helps to draw and expel air to the lungs and out.

Describe the epithelial tissue

Is the cells that make up the skin and mucous membrane as well as linking of cavities of the body.

What are the internal intercostal muscles?

Absent ear the vertebral column. They are muscles of expiration. It depresses the rib cage.

Explain Boyle's Law

States that the pressure will vary inversely with volume. When more volume is apply, the pressure decreases.

What is COPD?

Stands for: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. There are two types: Emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Describe the lateral view.

Seen from the side. (Away from the middle point)

Describe the neurons. (What are they, what is their function?)

They are nerve cell tissues responsible of sending various information to the brain. we have 20-25 billion neurons in the cerebral cortex.

What is emphysema?

Is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. This happens when the alveoli breaks down. Some causes are: pollution, smoking or hereditary factors.

Sleep apnea

Is a respiratory pathology that affects the communication. There are three types of apneas. Some symptoms are: snoring, breathing stops during sleep, dry mouth.

Describe the total lung capacity.

Is the sum of inspiratory reserve volume+tidal volume+expiratory reserve volume. It totals 5100 cc approximately

Frontal view

Pertaining to the front.

What is physiology?

Physiology is the study of the function of living organism.

Describe the scalenes. (Where are they?, what is its fuction?)

The muscles of the neck. They provide stability and facilitates rotation. They also let the thorax expand vertically.

What is pneumonia?

is an infection in the lungs where the alveoli fills up with fluid or pus. It could be viral or bacterial.

Describe the superficial view.

Towards the surface or closer to the surface of the body.

Define anatomy.

Anatomy is the study of the structure of an organism.

What is expiration?

Breath out.

What is the pleura?

Is a thin membrane that covers the lungs.

What is the intraoral pressure?

Is the air pressure measured within the mouth.

Describe the connective tissue

Is the most complex tissue. provides support and protection and can be solid, liquid or gel-like. We have it all over our body.

List all the accessory muscles

Scalenes, Abdominal muscle, Sternocleidomastoid, internal intercostal and external intercostal.

What is the propose of the accessory muscles?

The muscles around the neck, chest and abdomen that support the lungs in case of a breathing distress, among other functions.

What is inspiration?

Breathing in.

Define vital capacity

Is the volume of air that can be inhaled after a maximum exhalation. (VC=IRV+TV+ERV)

What is the sub glottal pressure?

Is the pressure below the level of the vocal folds. This kind of pressure is necessary for speech.

What is a diaphragm? Describe it

It is the most important muscles for respiration. It has the shape of a dome and occupies 60% of air capacity.
