The document summarizes a student's exercise on the respiratory system. It identifies and labels parts of the cat respiratory system including the trachea, lungs, and bronchi. It then lists the pathway of air through the respiratory system from the nose and nasal passages to the alveoli in the lungs. Finally, it defines key respiratory system terms like hypoxia, dyspnea, orthopnea, and others related to breathing difficulties, lung capacity measurements, coughing, asthma, and fluid buildup in the lungs.

Exercise 8
The Respiratory System
I. Identify the labeled parts.

Respiratory system of the cat


A. Trachea B. Left Anterior Lobe of Lung
C. Left Middle Lobe of Lung D. Left Posterior Lobe of Lung
E. Right Mediastinal Lobe of Lung F. Right Posterior Lobe of Lung
G. Right Middle Lobe of Lung H. Right Anterior Lobe of Lung
II. Trace the pathway of air.

1. Trachea
2. Nasal Passage
3. Alveoli
4. Paranasal Sinuses
5. Nose
6. Bronchi
7. Larynx
8. Brochioles
9. Nasopharynx
10. Nasal Cavity
III. Define the following terms:
A. Hypoxia – It is the deficiency of oxygen reaching the body tissues.
B. Dyspnea – It is the term for shortness of breath or “air hunger”
C. Orthopnea – is the sensation of breathlessness in the recumbent position, relieved by sitting or
standing.
D. Apnea – is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.
E. Asphyxia – a condition arising when the body is deprived of oxygen, causing unconsciousness
or death; suffocation.
G. Total Lung Capacity – total lung capacity (TLC) is the volume of air in the lungs upon the
maximum effort of inspiration. Among healthy adults, the average lung capacity is about 6 liters.
H. Residual Volume – is the amount of air that remains in a person's lungs after fully exhaling.
I. Cough – also known as tussis, is a voluntary or involuntary act that clears the throat and
breathing passage of foreign particles, microbes, irritants, fluids, and mucus; it is a rapid
expulsion of air from the lungs. 
J. Asthma – is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra
mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing)
when you breathe out and shortness of breath.
K. Cyanosis – is defined as a bluish discoloration, especially of the skin and mucous membranes,
due to excessive concentration of deoxyhemoglobin in the blood caused by deoxygenation.
L. Sleep apnea – is a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and
starts. If you snore loudly and feel tired even after a full night's sleep, you might have sleep
apnea.
M. Pleural effusion – sometimes referred to as “water on the lungs,” is the build-up of
excess fluid between the layers of the pleura outside the lungs.
