Respiration Crossword

made up of 5 divisions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal
number of cervical vertebrae
number of thoracic vertebrae
number of massive lumbar vertebrae and sacral vertebrae three, number of fused coccygeal vertebrae (or 4)
_______and transverse processes provide the points of attachment for numerous muscles to the vertebral column
this structure that allows for the legs to attach to the vertebral column is made up of ileum- sacrum- pubic bone- and ischium
______girdle includes the scapula and clavicle which attach to the sternum
air sacs in the lungs- there are about 300 million of these in mature lungs and they are the point at which oxygen and carbon dioxide are transferred to and from the bloodstream
contraction of this muscle pulls the lungs downward and expands them to draw in air through the bronchial passageway (this is the primary inspiratory muscle)
the entry of liquid or solid materials into the lungs (though it can also mean the removal of materials from the lungs which is more commonly referred to as suctioning)
device that measures the volume of air expelled or inspired (used to measure lung volume)
device that measures respiratory pressure
______ respiration -the involuntary act of breathing
_______ volume is the volume of air exchanged during one cycle of respiration (one inhale and exhale)
_____capacity is the capacity of air available for speech
____pressure is the pressure beneath the level of the vocal folds
_____ pressure is the respiratory pressure in the oral cavity
the % of normal respiration cycle taken up by inhalation (during speech inhalation makes up 10%)
the % of normal respiration cycle taken up by exhalation (during speech exhalation makes up 90%)
given a gas of constant temperature, increasing the volume of the chamber in which the gas is contained will cause a decrease in pressure, and vice versa
