Chapter 8 Miscellaneous

This document contains a chapter summary on the respiratory system along with review questions. It discusses the key functions of the lungs in gas exchange and the parts of the pharynx. It notes that the right lung has three lobes while the left has two to make space for the heart. The cardiovascular system and heart are identified as accessory organs. The nasal cavity works to warm, moisten, and filter incoming air. Multiple choice and true/false questions cover additional respiratory system topics like pulmonary edema, rales, and pleurisy.

 Laryngopharyx
3. What is the number of lobes on the right lung? Why?
 Three. There is space for three lobes on the right lung. (p.117)
 The left lung needs space for the heart (cardiac notch) so only has two lobes.
4. What are the accessory organs of this system?
 The heart and blood. (emailed Mrs. Hoerner)
 Cardiovascular system (p.116 1st sentence)

3. coryza – head cold; upper respiratory infection (URI) (p.125)

common in left heart failure. (p.125
6. rales/crackles – abnormal respiratory sounds heard on auscultation, caused by exudates,
spasms, hyperplasia, or when air enters moisture-filled alveoli. (p.126)
7. sputum – pathological viscous fluid formed in the lower respiratory tract that often
contains blood, pus, and bacteria. (p.125)
