what do the ribs attach to?
the sternum and costal cartilage
what makes up the pectoral girdle?
clavicles (2) (collarbones)
scapulae (2)
what makes up the pelvic girdle?
coxal bone (2) aka hip bones, combine with the sacral + coccygeal portions.
what does the breathing apparatus include?
pulmonary apparatus
chest wall
pulmonary - chest wall unit
- provide oxygen of cells of the body
- remove carbon dioxide from cells
physiology of the pulmonary apparatus
- pulmonary airways (aka pulomanary tree)
- lungs
anatomy of the pulmonary apparatus
vertebrae / spinal nerves
ribs
pectoral girdle
pelvic girdle
what makes up the skeletal superstructure of the breathing apparatus?
trachea
bronchi
alveolor
breakdown the pulmonary airways (aka pulmonary tree) : tubes! :
- c shaped cartilages with open-ends towards the back.
- flexible wall shared with the esophagus.
trachea
bronchi breakdown:
m l s s s t b t r
main-stem bronchi lobar bronchi segmental bronchi subsegmental bronchi small bronchi terminal bronchi bronchioles terminal bronchioles respiratory bronchioles
alveolor breakdown:
alveolor ducts
alveolor sacs
alveoli
(300 million) : where O2 and CO2 are exchanged
alveoli
pair of spongy structures with resilient elastic fibers.
lungs
visceral pleura
parietal pleura
lubricant
parts of the lungs
lungs are covered with this airtight membrane.
