ANATOMY LT3 - RESPI HISTO Flashcards
What are the contents of the CONDUCTING portion of the Respiratory System
Nasal Cavities, Nasopharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchi, Bronchioles, Terminal Bronchioles
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
Conchae
Constriction of the Trachealis: (Increases or Decreases) the diameter
Decreases
(Trachea or Bronchus) Hyaline Cartilage arragement: C shaped
Trachea
Brioncholes (Lining)
Ciliated Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium Without Goblet Cells (there may be a few goblet cells)
Vestibular fold (lining)
respiratory epithelium
What is function of the stratified squamous epithelium of the VOCAL CORDS?
designed for harsh environment to avoid dehydration of its tissue and to avoid abrasion via friction damage
Function of Elastic Fibers in Alveolar Sac
Enable the alveoli to expand with inspiration and to contract passively with expiration
Paranasal Sinus (Lining)
Thinner respiratory epithelium with goblet cells
Extends from the superior border of the epiglottis to the inferior borther of the cricoid cartilage
Laryngopharynx
Lining of the Lingual side of the epiglottis
non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
most abundant cells in respiratory epithelium very prominent numerous small mitochondria beneath the cilia that supply ATP for ciliary beating
Ciliated Columnar Cells
The cell type in Alveoili whose major function is to produce surfactant
Type II Alveolar
Alveolar Macrophages/Dust Cells
found in alveoli and interalveolar septum and its major role is phagocytosis of erythrocytes lost from damaged capillaries and airborne particulate matter that entered the alveoli
Alveolar Duct (Lining)
attenuated simple squamous alveolar cells
Cells in respi that secrete mucous, traps foreign substances and are made up of mucin glycoprotein
Goblet Cells
Which respiratory portion has this function: Main site for gas exchange of O2 and CO2 between inspired air and the blood
Respiratory Portion
What kind of cartilage is present in the epiglottis, cuneiform, corniculate, tips of superior arytenoid
Elastic Cartilage
Most anterior and dilated portion of the nasal cavity
Vestibule
Larynx (Function)
maintenance of open airway, serves as valve to prevent swallowed food from entering the trachea, voice, phonation and sound production via folds
Skeletal muscle that regulates tension fold and ligaments and is used for pitch control
Vocalis Muscle
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
False vocal cords, upper fold
Vestibular Fold
Why can’t there be goblet cells in Terminal Bronchioles?
Goblet cells produce mucous which may clog the terminal bronchiole
what type of cells are respiratory epithelium?
pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells with goblet cells
