8765249368	Nose	(nostrils) nares external	0
8765249369	Nasal cavity	Filters, warms, moistens incoming air; passageway to pharynx.	1
8765249370	Paranasal sinuses	Produces mucus, acts as resanators for sound; lightens skull.	2
8765249371	Nasal conchae	Bony prominences that provide space for nasal meatuses through which incoming air is warmed and humidified.	3
8765249372	Pharynx	Chamber shared by the digestive and respiratory system, passageway for air between nose and larynx and food from mouth to esophagus.	4
8765249373	Larynx	Inferior to hyoid bone and superior to trachea. Cartilaginous structure surrounding glottis and vocal cords; passageway for air between the pharynx and the rest of respiratory tract; produces sound; protects trachea from foreign objects.	5
8765249374	Thyroid cartilage(Adam's apple)	Largest laryngeal cartilage	6
8765249375	Mediastinum	Region between the two pleural cavities, aslo contains thymus, esophagus, and trachea	7
8765249376	Pleura	Protect, compartmentalize, and lubricate outer surfaces of lung; enclose pleural cavities.	8
8765249377	Lungs	Major respiratory organs	9
8765249378	Alveoli	Site of gas exchange; functional unit of lung.	10
8765249379	Bronchioles	Passageways to and from the alveoli.	11
8765249380	Bronchus	Passageways for air to and from the lungs; filter air	12
8800741575		Muscle separating thoracic cavity from abdominopelvic cavity, enlarges thoracic cavity to allow for inspiration, returns to original position for expiration.	13
8800741576		Passageway for air to and from thoracic cavity; traps and expels foreign matter.	14
8800741577		Process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged through lungs and tissues.	15
8800741578		(Breathing) process by which air enters the lungs and is expelled by the lungs.	16
8800741579		Pertaining to the lungs	17
8800741580	Dyspnea	Difficulty breathing	18
8800741581	Apnea	Period of no respiratory activity	19
8800741582	Hyperventilation	Excessive intake and elimination of O y Co2, respectively. Can lead to respiratory alkalosis.	20
8800741583	Hypoventilation	Slow and shallow breathing which can lead to respiratory acidosis.	21
8800741584		Technique for moving an object blocking the airway; forcefully elevated the diaphragm by compression of the abdomen.	22
8800741585		Voice box	23
8800741586	Thyroid cartilage	Adam's apple	24
8800741587		Windpipe	25
8800741588		Nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx	26
8800741589		Larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli	27
