Down |
1. | Where the trachea splits into the right and left bronchi |
2. | For the lungs to remain expanded, the pressure in the intrapleural space must be THIS |
3. | These are motor nerves that supply the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles |
4. | An abnormally low concentration of oxygen in the tissues |
5. | Tears drain into here |
7. | A nosebleed |
8. | The maximum volume of air that can be exhaled following maximal inhalation |
9. | A function of the respiratory system |
11. | Rapid breathing |
12. | A mechanical device used to measure oxygen levels in the blood |
13. | Larger in men |
14. | The exchange of respiratory gases occurs in this way- across the alveoli and pulmonary capillaries |
15. | The accumulation of air in the pleural space that causes the lung to collapse |
18. | Characterized by destruction of alveoli, obstruction of small airways, loss of elasticity of lung tissues |
19. | This space is located between the visceral and parietal pleurae |
20. | An increase in rate and depth of respirations- Caused by metabolic acidosis |
21. | The major regulator of respirations |
