AnaPhy of Respiration Flashcards
Speech System: Biological need that we have as humans in order to survive
Respiration
Speech System: voicing; Happens through vibration of the vocal folds
Phonation
Speech System: How our voice quality is made
Resonation
Speech System: Product of when our articulators come in contact with one another to create speech sounds
Articulation
What are the Speech Systems?
Respiration, Phonation, Resonation, Articulation
Frameworks of Respiration includes…
Bony thorax, Visceral thorax, and Muscles
Bony thorax
- Supports body’s physical structure
- Provides attachment to muscles through its processes
Vertebral Column
Bony thorax
- Provides the basis for respiratory framework
- Form point of attachment for the ribs and bony thorax
Thoracic Vertebrae
The joint between the thoracic vertebrae and the ribs allows for a ___ motion that enables the ribs to L___ R_____ against the vertebrae. This allows the ribs to _____ during _____→ rib cage expands → brings more volume of air in (necessary for gas exchange mechanism)
Gliding motion, laterally rotate, flare out, inspiration
Can flare out via lateral rotation d/t vertebral articulation
Ribs and Rib Cage
Rib Cage has a chondral portions attached to the ___
Sternum
12 ribs are classified as:
True (1-7), False (8-10), Floating (11-12)
Chondral portion has ___ properties that allows for the ribs to twist along the long axis without breaking
Elastic
Breast bone
Sternum
3 parts of Sternum
Manubrium Sterni, Corpus Sterni, and Xiphoid Process
Part of sternum that has facets that articulate with clavicle & first rib
Manubrium Sterni
Part of sternum that is attached to more ribs via cartilage
Corpus Sterni
Part of sternum that is the junction w/ corpus is where Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed
Xiphoid Process
3 Respiratory Passageways
Mouth, Nose, Trachea
Known as the “windpipe”
Trachea
Trachea is made of…
Hyaline cartilage rings, smooth muscle, and mucous membrane lining
Trachea bifurcates/ divides into:
Right and Left bronchi
Angle of the right bronchi
20° - 30° angle
Angle of the left bronchi
45° - 55° angle
Which bronchi is more susceptible to foreign bodies?
Right Bronchi
Has cough receptors that are highly sensitive in the presence of foreign bodies; Known as our last line of defense since it occurs before the bifurcation of the right and left bronchi
Carina trachaea
Directly posterior to the trachea; In a collapsed condition unless occupied by bolus
Esophagus
Directly posterior to the trachea
Esophagus
Soft, spongy, porous elastic structures with specialized tissue for gas exchange
Lungs
