Respiratory and Excretory System Review

1. The tubes that branch from the trachea are the

2. The dome shaped muscle below the chest cavity is called the

3. During swallowing, the air passage of the pharynx is covered by the

4. Alveoli in the lungs are connected to the bronchi by a network of tiny tubes called

5. Breathing is controlled by the chemistry of your blood as it interacts with the

bronchi

diaphragm

epiglottis

bronchioles

carbon dioxide

Explain what happens to carbon dioxide and oxygen inside the alveoli.

Alveoli fills up with oxygen and diffuses into the capillaries (blood).

Carbon dioxide and water in the blood diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli.

Which is the correct sequence for the path of oxygen through the respiratory system?

a) nasal cavity, bronchi, trachea, bronchioles, cells, blood, alveoli

b) cells, blood, alveoli, bronchioles, bronchi, trachea, nasal cavity

c) nasal cavity, blood, alveoli, bronchi, cells, trachea, bronchioles

d) nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, blood, cells

1. Where are the vocal cords located in the body?

2. Breathing is an involuntary process controlled by the which part of the brain?

3.What prevents the trachea from collapsing?

4. Where does the actual exchange of gases occur?

5. During gas exchange where does the oxygen and carbon dioxide go?

larynx

medulla

rings of cartilage

alveoli

O2 diffuses into capillaries. CO2 diffuses out of capillaries and into alveoli.

1. Explain what happens to the diaphragm and rib cage do during inhalation. Diaphragm contracts (pulls down).

Rib cage expands.

2. Explain what happens to the diaphragm and rib cage muscles do during exhalation. Diaphragm relaxes (pushes up).

Rib cage relaxes.
