Ch 23 and 24 test Flashcards
5 functions of respiratory system
- gas exchange
- move air to and from lungs
- protect and defend
- produce sounds
- smell
conducting portion of resp tract
anatomical dead space that goes from nasal passage through pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and large bronchioles
respiratory portion of resp tract
conducts gas exchange, includes bronchioles and alveoli
cell placement and function: mucosa of respiratory tract
- pseudostratefied ciliated columnar
- stratefied squamous
- cuboidal with cilia
- simple squamous
- most of tract, remove debris
- areas shared w digestive tract, abrasion from food
- bronchioles, remove debris
- alveoli, gas exchange
3 resp defenses
- goblet cells-mucous
- nasal hair-filter
- alvolar macrophages
function of sinuses
warm and humidify air, defense
3 parts of pharynx
- nasopharynx
- oropharynx
- laryngopharynx
superior portion of pharynx, holds pharyngeal tonsil, pseudostratefied ciliated columnar
nasopharynx
cartilaginous tube that surrounds and protects the glottis
larynx
glottis
opening of larynx
thyroid cartilage
large anterior shied of larynx, AKA adam’s apple
cricoid cartilage
forms entrance to trachea and protects posterior larynx
arytenoid cartilage
aid in phonication
vestibular folds
false vocal cords for protection
vocal folds
true vocal cords
trachealis muscle
changes size of trachea
primary bronchi
right and left branches that go to each lung
carina
seperating point at inferior of trachea
root
entrance to each lung at hilus, contains bronchi and blood vessels
secondary bronchi
lobar, bronch to lobes of lung
3-right, 2-left
tertiary bronchi
segmental, branch to the bronchopulmonary segments of lobes
10-right, 8/9-left
bronchioles
smallest segments branching off tertiary bronchi
terminal bronchioles
no cartilage, end of conducting system/dead space, where bronchodilation and constriction have greatest effect
respiratory bronchioles
begin gas exchange
right lung lobes
- superior
- middle
- inferior
left lung lobes
- superior
2. inferior
oblique fissure
separates superior and inferior lobes of left lung and superior and middle lobes from inferior on right
horizontal fissure
separates superior and middle lobes on right lung
alveolar ducts
connect resp bronchioles to alveolar sacs
