What does the dorsal body cavity house?
-
What does the ventral body cavity house?
- Thoracic (Lungs and Mediastinum) Cavity
- Abdominopelvic (Heart, Aorta, Vena Cava, and soft tiseus) Cavity
-
What separtes the Thoracic and Abdominopelvic cavities?
Diaphragm
-
The Abdominopelvic Cavity is subdivided into these two cavities?
- Abdominal (Peritoneal Cavity - Stomach, Spleen, Liver, Large & Small Intestines, etc) [Retroperitoneal Cavity contains both Kidneys]
- Pelvic (Bladder, Femal reproductive organs (uterus, ovaries, tubes)
-
This lines the outside of the Lung, it is not the part of the respiratory system
Pleura
-
This covers the abdominal organs
Peritoneum
-
Define Parietal
Outer Layer
-
Define Visceral
Inner Layer
-
What is another word for Pleural Effusion?
Edema
-
Made from simple sugars, sometimes referred to as polysaccharides or starches
Carbohydrates
-
Includes steriods, waxes, and fats. Triglycerides
Lipids
-
Made from Amino Acids. There are a total of 20 amino acids in the human body. These are amino acids not made up by the body, but instead have to be obtained by consumption of meat. Amino Acids are made from nucleic acids (DNA)

What is the function of the Paranasal Sinus?
- Warms the air
- Humidify/Moisten the inhaled air

-
Cartilaginous structure connecting the pharynx and trachea at the level of cervical vertebrae. It is composed of connective tissue containing 9 pieces of cartilage shaped like a box.
Larynx
-
The largest cartilage of the larynx; it is visible and palpable above the hyoid boine anteriorly
Thyroid Cartilage (Adam's Apple)
-
Shaped like a signet ring, connects the larynx and trachea
Cricoid Cartilage
-
Leaf-shaped lid at the entrance to the larynx. It closes and covers the larynx when food is being swallowed from the pharynx to the esophagus.
Epiglottis
-
What is another term for Chemical Pneumonia
Aspiration
-
The sac between the visceral and parietal pleura which is generally lined with fluid
Pleural Space
-
When air is introduced into the pleural space (during chest trauma from motor vehicle accident or MVA, or puncture of thoracic cavity as with an acupuncutre needle), a pleural cavity is created and the lung collapses (partially or totally)
Pneumothorax
-
Contractions occur in a set of respiratory muscles between the ribs, called external intercostals muscles.
Inspiration
-
The external intercostals and diaphragm relax
Breathing Out
Exhalation
Expiration
-
The measuring of breath
Spirometry
-
What monitors CO2 levels of the blood?
Respiratory Control Center
-
How long can one hold his breath?
Until CO2 gets to critical levels
-
Where does O2 and CO2 perform gas exchange?
Alveoli
-
How much of a role (in percent) does the diaphragm play in respiration? External Intercostals?
- Diaphragm 90%
- External Intercostals 10%
-
Has a biconcave shape
The only cell in the body without a nucleus
Performs gas exchange
Red Blood Cell
-
What are the most common Respiratory Conditions (Hyperactive Airway Disease)?
- Asthma - the inability to exhale (bronchospasm) (occurs during childhood --> early adulthood)
- COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - lose the abiltiy of elastic recoil (occurs during age>= 60 years)
- Chronic Bronchitis - inpairment of mucocilliary escalator - persistant cough, esp. in smokers (occurs during age >= 40-50 years)
-
What are the 3 types of Muscles in the body?
- Skeletal (voluntary) striated
- Smooth (involuntary - autonomic nervous system control) deep to body
- Cardiac (looks like skeletal, acts like smooth)
-
What are the causes of bronchospasms?
Environmental Pollution (i.e. Dust Mites, Pollen, Animal products(dander, feces, saliva, urine), cigarette smoke(including second-hand smoke)
-
What is the difference between COPD and Emphysema?
- COPD - Diagnosed clinically
- Emphysema - Diagnosed by Biopsy
-
What are the 3 steps of the process of a Nephron?
- Filtration - non-selective process
- General Reabsorption
- Tubular Secretion (10% of the total process)
-
A collecting duct
Secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland
Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH)
-
This hormone acts primarily on the distal tubules of a nephron
Aldosterone
-
What is the function of the Kidney?
- Urine Production
- Produce Erythropoietin (tells bone marrow to produce RBC's)
- Activates vitamin D (which increases intestinal absorption fo CA2+
