Respiratory System
11
Lungs: Alveoli exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide
Bronchi: Two tubes taking air from trachea to lungs
Alveoli: any of the many tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
Trachea: a large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial tubes and conveying air to and from the lungs; the windpipe.
Larynx: the hollow muscular organ forming an air passage to the lungs and holding the vocal cords in humans and other mammals; the voice box.
Inhale: Breath in
Exhale: Breath out
Diaphragm: a dome-shaped, muscular partition separating the thorax from the abdomen in mammals. It plays a major role in breathing, as its contraction increases the volume of the thorax and so inflates the lungs.
Emphysema: a condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are damaged and enlarged, causing breathlessness.
Cellular Respiration: Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
Pharynx: the membrane-lined cavity behind the nose and mouth, connecting them to the esophagus.
Pikes Peak: Less air here.
