16 Respiratory System (Lecture) Flashcards
Pulmonary Ventilation
gas exchange between atomosphere and lungs
Pulmonary exchange
exchange of gases between the lungs and blood
systemic exchange
occurs at capillaries all over the body O2 in CO2 out
- Regulate pH
pH always does the opposite of what CO2 is doing. CO2 rises pH falls and vica versa
respiratory system enables
vocal communication
mucous production is what type of mechanism
defense
where is the upper respiratory tract
from nose to larnyx
where is the lower respiratory tract
larynx to bronchioles
conduction zone
conducts air into the alveoli. no gas exchange in conduction zone.
respiratory zone
lung tissue that contains pulmonary capillaires this is where gas exchange occurs.
hyline cartilage plates
dorsum nasi
what holds the nose open
external nares
transition zone of nasal vestibule
stratum corneum to mucosa on inside of nose
Why does your nose run when you cry
tears run into the lacrimonasal canal
hard palate
maxilla and palatine bone
soft palate
smooth muscle covered by mucous memebrane
bones of nasal superior boarder
sphenoid, ethmoid, frontal
Nasal septum
seperates R & L nostril
The conchea or turbinates
3 ridges superior, middle, inferior
Internal nares
back of the nasal cavity
Paranasal sinuses
(maxillary sinuses), above the eyes (frontal sinuses), between the eyes (ethmoidal sinuses), and behind the ethmoids (sphenoidal sinuses)
The Pharynx begins ___________. and extends to ________?
internal nares and the tip of the uvula
Nasopharnx begins ___________ and exttends to __________? For ___________ to pass only.
internal nares and the tip of the uvula
air only no food
Oropharnyx begins _________ and extends to ___________?
uvula to hyoid bone
Laryngopharynx begins _________ and extends to __________? For __________ to pass.
hyoid bone to bottom of larnynx
food and air
epiglottis
moveable cartilage covers airway when you swallow
glottis
opening to trachea
