respiratory system.
Answer: Heimlich Maneuver
Stations - 300
• What could happen if a person were to get a
hole in their diaphragm or chest cavity?
Answer: Breathing could stop because
the pressure differential is disturbed.
(This is because the body uses pressure
differences to help change the volume
of the lungs. When the pressure is
disrupted, it cannot change the volume
of the lungs)
Stations - 400
• The total amount of exchangeable air is
known as the vital capacity. Which of the
following is NOT used to determine this
volume?
• tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume,
expiratory reserve volume, residual volume
Answer: residual volume
Stations - 500
• This can buildup in the lungs and respiratory
passages and restricts air, making it harder to
breath.

This is the air that remains in the lungs in order
to keep the alveoli inflated and cannot be

• This is the volume of air that a person can
breath in forcibly over their normal breathing
volume.

• This part of the respiratory system is large and
occupies the entire thoracic cavity except for
the central area and its base rests on the
diaphragm.
Answer: lungs
Posters - 300
This part of the respiratory system is also known
as the windpipe.
Answer: trachea
Posters - 400
This part of the respiratory system allows speech
to occur because of the vocal folds that are
located here in the voice box.
Answer: larynx
Posters - 500
This part of the respiratory system contains
three sections called the nasopharynx,
oropharynx, and the laryngopharynx.
Answer: pharynx
Posters - 600
This part of the respiratory system continuously
gets smaller and smaller as it branches like a
tree.
Answer: bronchi
Posters - 700
This part of the respiratory system is rigid due to
15-20 C-shaped rings of hyaline cartilage.
Answer: trachea
Poster - 800
This part of the respiratory system where gas
exchange occurs with the blood.
Answer: alveoli
Lung Cancer - 100
Is lung cancer a passive or aggressive type of
cancer?
Answer: aggressive
Lung Cancer - 200
These are small hairlike projections found along
the respiratory system that help to catch
debris and prevents it from entering the lungs.
Answer: cilia
Lung Cancer - 300
What is the most effective treatment for lung
cancer?
Answer: Removing the diseased lung

Lung Cancer – DAILY DOUBLE
• Name four reasons why smoking can be
harmful to us.
Answer: increase heart rate, blood vessel
constriction (high blood pressure), air flow
disruption in the lungs, affects our brains
and mood
athrerosclerous and heart disease, strokes,
cataracts, osteoporosis, lung cancer,
pooling of mucus in the lungs (smokers
cough), destruction of cilia in the lungs
Lung Cancer - 600
This type of lung cancer arises when
lymphocyte-like cells in the primary bronchi
grow aggressively in small grape-like clusters
and makes up 20-45% of lung cancer cases.
Answer: small cell carcinoma
Lung Cancer - 700
This type of lung cancer arises in the epithelium
of the larger bronchi and tends to form
masses that hollow out and bleed and makes
up 20-40% of lung cancer cases.
Answer: squamous cell carcinoma
Lung Cancer - 800
This type of lung cancer originates in the
peripheral areas of the lungs as solitary
nodules that develop from bronchial glands
and alveolar cells and makes up 25-35% of
lung cancer cases.
Answer: adenocarcinoma

• The blood in the veins that is returning from
the body to the heart is this color.
Answer: dark red
Events of Respiration - 200
Gases in the blood move into and out of the
alveoli based on this concept.
Answer: Diffusion

This is the molecule that is made when oxygen
attaches to hemoglobin
Answer: oxyhemoglobin
Events of Respiration - 400
This is the respiratory event where air is
exchanged between the cells of the body and

Answer: as bicarbonate ions in the
plasma
Events of Respiration - 700
• This is the respiratory event where air is
exchanged between the alveoli and the blood.
Answer: external respiration
Events of Respiration - 800
• This is the respiratory event where the
bloodstream transports oxygen and carbon
dioxide to and from the lungs and the various
cells of the body
Answer: respiratory gas transport
Homeostatic Imbalances - 100
This is a deep and rapid breathing pattern that is
used to return the pH of the blood to the
normal range.
Answer: Hyperventilation
Homeostatic Imbalances - 200
This is a whistling sound that results from a
narrowing of air passages and is a common
result of an asthmatic attack.
Answer: wheezing
Homeostatic Imbalances - 300
This is when a certain odorless, colorless gas
attaches to the oxygen binding sites of
hemoglobin and prevents oxygen from
attaching to the hemoglobin.
Answer: Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning
Homeostatic Imbalances - 400
This is when respiration stops completely and
death occurs. This can be caused by an
overdose of sleeping pills, morphine or
alcohol.
Answer: Medullary Center
Suppression
Homeostatic Imbalances - 500
This is when the mucosa of the lower respiratory
passages become really inflamed and
produces excessive mucus, which pools at the
base of the lungs.
Answer: Chronic Bronchitis
Homeostatic Imbalances - 600
This is when the alveoli enlarge as the walls of
the adjacent chambers break through and
chronic inflammation promotes fibrosis of the
lungs. Lungs become less elastic and the
airways collapse during expiration and
obstruct the outflow of air.
Answer: Emphysema
Homeostatic Imbalances - 700
This is when there is inadequate oxygen delivery
to body tissues. It can be the result of
anemia, pulmonary disease or blocked blood
circulation.
Answer: Hypoxia
Homeostatic Imbalances - 800
This is when the lungs collapse and become
useless for ventilation. This is seen when air
enters the pleural space or when there is a
rupture of the visceral pleura.
Answer: Atelectasis
Final Question #1
The Lungs
Make your wager
Final Question #1
Explain why air moves into and out of the lungs
during breathing.
Answer: Muscles cause the volume of the lungs
to increase. The change in volume causes
pressure to drop, which causes air to move into
the lungs. When the muscles relax, the lungs
retract to their original volume causing air to be
expelled
Final Question #2

rates and depth

exercise)
Volition (conscious control)
