THE LARYNX–1
- EPIGLOTTIS SHAPE?
- FUNCTION WHEN FOOD IS SWALLOWED?
- A LEAF SHAPED FLAP THAT PROJECTS OBLIQUELY FROM THE TOP OF LARYNX.
- BLOCKS FOOD FROM ENTERING LARYNX AND SENDS IT TO ESOPHAGUS
THE LARYNX–2
GLOTTIS FUNCTION?
IT ALLOWS AIR TO FREELY ENTER AND LEAVE THE TRACHEA AND LUNGS.
TRACHEA AND BRONCHI
- TRACHEA LOCATION =?
- TRACHEA FUNCTION = ?
- 4-5 INCH VERITICAL TUBE THAT RUNS THROUGH NECK AND CHEST ANTERIOR TO THE ESOPHAGUS.
- CONDUCTS AIR BETWEEN LARYNX AND PRIMARY BRONCHI.
WHICH LUNG IS SHORTER?
WHICH LUNG HAS LESS VOLUME?
WHAT SHAPE?
THE RIGHT LUNG
LEFT LUNG DUE TO HEART TAKING UP SPACE
CONE SHAPED
A DOUBLE-WALLED, FLUID-FILLED SAC CALLED A _______ ENVELOPS EACH LUNG AND AIDS IN THE ____________ PROCESS.
PLEURA
VENTILATION
TYPES OF LUNG SURFACES
- _________________ = ANTERIOR, LATERAL AND POSTERIOR TO LUNG
- ________________- = BETWEEN THE LUNGS
- _________________= INNER MEMBRANE
- ________ ________ = THE OUTER MEMBRANE
- _______ _________= SEPARATES BOTH WITH FLUID
- COSTAL SURFACES
- MEDIASTINUM
- VISCERAL PLEURA
- PARIETAL PLEURA
- PLEURAL CAVITY
FROM THE ________ BRONCHI, AIR IS CONDUCTED TO AND FROM THE __________.
TERTIARY
ALVEOLI (AIR SACS)
PULMONARY VENTILATION
A REDUCED VOLUME = LUNGS UNABLE TO FULLY EXPAND.
SPIROMETRY
- WHAT IS IT?
- WHY PERFORM?
- MEASURES THE RATE AND VOLUME OF PULMONARY AIR FLOW.
2. A REDUCED RATE OF AIR FLOW INDICATES A BLOCKAGE IN ONE OR MORE OF THE AIRWAYS.
PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS
HOW TO PERFORM FVC6???
BREATH IN MAX, BREATH OUT MAX FOR 6 SECONDS
PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS
HOW TO PERFORM FEV1?
VOLUME OF AIR FORCED OUT IN 1 SECOND.
PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS
HOW TO PERFORM RATION %?
SHOULD BE 75% OR HIGHER
