ANATOMY LT3 - CVS HISTO Flashcards
What are the contents of the CONDUCTING portion of the Respiratory System
These are the contents of what portion of the respiratory system? * Nasal Cavities, Nasopharynx * Larynx * Trachea * Bronchi, Bronchioles, Terminal Bronchioles
What are the contents of the RESPIRATORY portion of the Respiratory system
These are the contents of what portion of the Respiratory system? * respiratory bronchioles * alveolar ducts * alveoli
Conducting Portion (function)
Which component of the respiratory system: * provides conduit for movement of air to and from the lungs * conditions inspired air
Respiratory Portion (Function)
Function: Main site for gas exchange of O2 and CO2 between inspired air and the blood
pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells with goblet cells
what type of cells are respiratory epithelium?
Ciliated Columnar Cells
most abundant cells in respi very prominent numerous small mitochondria beneath the cilia that supply ATP for ciliary beating
Goblet Cells
Cells in respi that secrete mucous, traps foreign substances and are made up of mucin glycoprotein
Mucin Glycoprotein
What are goblet cells composed of
Brush Cells
These cells are chemosensory receptors–have afferent nerve endings on basal surface and have numerous microvili on apical surface
Small granule cells/ Kulchitsky cells
Type of respiratory cells that secrete hormones and are part of the diffused endocrine system Resembles basal cells but with numerous granules with dense cores
Basal Cells
(Respiratory cells) functions as generative stem cells and undergo cell division when needed Small rounded cells that lie on basal lamina
Respiratory Epithelium (location)
Epithelium that covers most of the conducting portion
Olfactory Epithelium (type of cells)
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar WITHOUT goblet cells
Olfactory Epithelium (Location)
Type of epithelium: can be found in a specialized area of the mucous membrane in the superior conchae of the nasal cavity
Olfactory Cells
Bears cillia which contains non-motile axomeres which serve as receptors receptors for odoriferous stimuli Passes through cribiform plate, then synapses with other olfactory neurons
Supporting Cell
Broad, cylindrical apexes
Vestibule
Most anterior and dilated portion of the nasal cavity
Vibrissae
- found in lamina propria 2. thick short hairs with sebaceous and sweat glands that filter out large particles from the inspired air
Conchae
Bony shelflike projections extending from each lateral wall covered by thin mucosa improve the conditioning of the inspired air by increasing the surface area of respiratory epithelium creates turbulence in the airflow
Large venous plexuses in the lamina propria. Directs air through the othern asal fossa to allow respiratory epithelium to recover from dessication. Richly vascularized. Direction of blood flow is opposite to flow of air, resulting to warming and humidification of air
Swell Bodies
Closed cavities in the frontal, maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid bones
Paranasal Sinus
Function of Paranasal Sinus
Resonance of sound

Swell Bodies

Paranasal Sinus
Function of Paranasal Sinus
Resonance of sound
Paranasal Sinus (Lining)
Thinner respiratory epithelium with goblet cells
Three parts of the Pharynx
Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, Laryngopharynx
Nasopharynx (Lining)
respiratory epithelium
