(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(gas exchange)
- must have what?

(Moistening of Air)
- requires what?
- usually what type?
- glands

(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(warming of air)
- many vessels with thick walls (erectile tissues)
- extensive terminal vascular bed found where?
- along conducting portion of the respiratory tract
(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(filtering of air)
- is accomplished by what?
- the mucous traps foreign substances and the cilia move it toward the phayrnx where it is swallowed or if excessive is coughed up and spit out
- What clears the nasal cavity?
- what is theis process referred to as?
- hair, mucous, and cilia (particles deposited/removed)
- sneezing
- the mucociliary escalator
(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(phonation
- possible due to the presence of what?
- the vocal apparatus
(Major subdivisions of mammalian respiratory tract)
1-3. What are the three portions?
- conducting portion
- transitional portion
- respiratory (exchange) portion
(Major subdivisions of mammalian respiratory tract)
(Conducting portion)
- ~ what volume in humans with short neck
- involved in moving what?
- runs from where to where?
- specific portions are responsible for what?
- ~150 mL
- confetti
- from nasal cavity through terminal (tertiary) bronchiole in lung
- olfaction and phonation
(Major subdivisions of mammalian respiratory tract)
(transitional portion)
- is it present in all animals?
- consists of what?
- only present in some animals (carnivores, monkeys)
- respiratory bronchioles (structures that conduct air and exchange gases)
(Major subdivisions of mammalian respiratory tract)
(Respiratory (exchange) portion)
- what percentage of lung volume in humans?
- region of what? area for exchange?
- consists of what three things?
- 97% (~ 3,000 mL)
- gas exchange (~ 100 m2, thickness ` 0.5 um)
- alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli (~300 X 10^6, each 0.3 mm diameter)
(Respiratory Epithelia)
1-3. What are the three main types?
1. pseudostratified ciliated columnar (PSC) epithelium
2. ciliated simple columnar or cuboidal epithelium
3. simple squamous epithelium
(Respiratory Epithelia)
(Pseudostratified ciliary columnar (PSC) epithelium)
- with what two cell types?
- found from where to where?
- does the number of goblet cells increase or decrease near the small bronchi?
- goblet cells and basal cells
- nasal fossa to the small bronchi
- decreases
(Respiratory Epithelia)
(Ciliated simple columnar or cuboidal epithelium)
- found lining the what?
- how many goblet cells does it contain?
- bronchioles
- few to none
(Respiratory Epithelia)
(simple squamous epithelium)
- found lining the what?
- alveoli of the lungs
(Functional Morphology of the conducting portion)
(General Organization of the conducting Portion)
- lumen = ?
- what on a thick basal lamina lines the lumen?
- lamina propria/submucosa; character? does it have glands?
- tunica muscularis; character?
- tunica adventitia - what is it when present?
- the airway
- mucosa: epithelium (typically pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells)
- rich vascular connective tissue; glands in places
- muschel and/r cartilage (cartilage provides support because air at atomspheric pressure is very compressible)
- connective tissue
(Nasal Cavity)
1-3 divided into what three parts?
- vestibule
- conducting region
- olfactory region
(Nasal Cavity)
(Vestibule)
- most rostral part of what?
- stratified squamous epithelium is continuous with what?
- site of transition from what to what?
- What occur in the cutaneous portion?
- nasal cavity - short and transitional
- the skin
- keratinized stratifed squamous of the skin to mucous membrane (non-keratinized) of the nasal cavity
- hairs, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands
(Nasal Cavity)
(Conducting Region 1)
- makes up the bulk of the nasal cavity
- area of conchae; lined by what? with what?
- branched tubuloalveolar mixed glands (mainly serous) are present
- Erectile tissue is common (vascular cavites lined by enothelium and continuous with blood vessels); usually collapsed - becomes engorged with blood when? acting as what mechanism? What else does engorgement do?
- pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium (PSC); goblet cells, non-ciliated cells, brush cells (sensory), and basal cells
- under neural stimulation; heat transfer mechanism; decreases air flow
