Respiratory System

328 resources created by 259 users

This Respiratory System page on GoConqr gathers community-made quizzes, mind maps, flashcards, slide sets and notes, from the nasal cavity and larynx to the trachea, lungs and pleura. It's built for university students revising anatomy and for teachers after ready-made material. There are over 300 resources here, including more than 80 quizzes, over 80 mind maps and more than 130 flashcard decks. Pick a topic, try a quiz to spot your gaps, then make your own study sets.

About Respiratory System

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The Respiratory System unit sits in the Integument, Circulation and Respiration strand of Anatomy. The resources follow the airway from top to bottom. Upper tract material includes the quiz Nasal Cavity and Pharynx and the deck Nasal Cavity, Paranasal Sinuses & Nasopharynx. Lower down you will find the deck Larynx, the quiz Trachea and the deck Trachea, Bronchial Tree & Lungs.

Where to start

Begin with a broad map to see the whole tract. The mind map Introduction to Respiration defines respiration and ventilation, then splits the tract functionally into conducting and respiratory parts, and clinically into upper and lower. Then move to the Lungs mind map, which describes the apex, the base and their relations.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then test yourself. Many quizzes here are label-the-diagram sets. Lung Lobule and Trachea repeatedly ask "What structure is this?", so they suit anyone learning to recognise parts on an image. A&P: PULMONOLOGY uses fill-in-the-blank questions on the hilum, the pulmonary ligament and where the pleura meet.

  1. Read a mind map such as Pleura, which covers the visceral and parietal layers.
  2. Take a matching quiz, such as Lungs and Pleurae.
  3. Note what you missed and revisit that branch of the map.
  4. Finish with flashcards for quick recall.

Flashcards and quick checks

The deck Respiratory System Anatomy 2 MCQ uses yes/no statements, for example on the blood-air barrier and the surfaces of the lungs. That makes it a fast check between longer sessions. Teachers can pick from the slide sets and notes, including notes on the pharynx and larynx and on the respiratory muscles.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Try the Introduction to Respiration mind map for an overview of the conducting and respiratory parts of the tract. After that, the Lungs mind map covers the apex and base. Once you have the outline, a label-style quiz such as Trachea shows how well the structures stuck.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 80 mind maps. They range from whole-system overviews to specific topics such as Pleura, Bronchus, Lungs, the muscles used in breathing and the muscles of the posterior chest. Some separate the upper and lower respiratory tract into their own maps.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one set to another.

Who are these resources suited to?

They are mostly at university level, so they suit university students revising respiratory anatomy. Teachers can also use them as ready-made material, such as quizzes to set, slide sets or notes. Students practise labelling diagrams, recalling terms and answering short questions.

Can I save my quiz scores or make my own sets?

A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is handy if you find a gap on this page, such as a structure you keep missing, and want a personal set for it.

What if the topic I need seems to be missing?

Look through the related titles first, as many cover the same ground under different names, such as Respiratory Tract or Upper Respiratory System. If you still cannot find it, build your own flashcards or mind map and keep it for later revision.
