  1. Cillia
    Microscopic hairlike projections that sweep debris upwards and out of respitory tract. by coughing.
  2. Alveoli
    • At the end of terminal bronchioles.
    • Exchange of gasses occur here.
  3. Pulmonary ventilation

    • Active stage of respiration.
    • Involves muscles of the thorax for inhilation to occur.
  6. Expiration
    Passive stage Pulmonary Ventilation.
  7. Respiration
    External Respiration. Gas exchange at alveoli.
  8. Perfusion
    Internal Respiration. Where gasses exhange at cellular level.
  9. Hypoxia
    Condition which body lacks O2.
  10. Upper airway consists of...
    • Nose
    • Pharanx
    • Larynx
    • Epiglottis
  11. Lower Airway consists of...
    • Tracheobronchial tree
    • Left and right main stem bronchi
    • Segmented Bronchi
    • Terminal Bronchi
