tiny folds of the lung epithelium to increase the surface area
alveoli
1 of 23
smaller airways leading into the lungs
bronchioles
2 of 23
a layer of muscle beneath the lungs
diaphragm
3 of 23
muscles between the ribs. contraction of the external intercostal muscles raises the ribcage
intercostal muscles
4 of 23
the main airway leading from the back of the mouth to the lungs
trachea
5 of 23
the refreshing of the air in the lungs, so that there is a higher oxygen concentration than in the blood and a lower carbon dioxide concentration
ventilation
6 of 23
a form of connective tissue
cartilage
7 of 23
a layer of cells that have many hair like extensions called cilia
ciliated epithelium
8 of 23
protein fibres that can deform and then recoil to their original size
elastic fibres
9 of 23
cells that secret mucus
goblet cells
10 of 23
involuntary muscle that contracts without the need for conscious thought
smooth muscle
11 of 23
the number of breaths per minute
breathing rate
12 of 23

oxygen uptake
13 of 23
the volume of air inhaled or exhale in one breath, usually measured at rest
tidal volume
14 of 23
a device that can measure the movement of air into and out of the lungs
the greatest volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after taking the deepest possible breath
15 of 23
the mouth
buccal cavity

where two fluids flow in opposite directions
countercurrent flow
17 of 23
slender branches of tissue that make up the gill. they are are often called primary lamellae
filaments
18 of 23
sometimes called secondary lamellae. folds of the filament to increase surface area. they are also called gill plates
lamellae

a bony flap that covers and protects the gills
operculum
20 of 23
an external opening or pore that allows air in or out of the tracheae
spiracle
