Ch 23: Respiratory System Flashcards
Upper respiratory tract
-External nose, cavity, pharynx, larynx
Purpose of nasal cavity
Clean, warm, and humidifier
Pharynx
Throat
Larynx
Above the glottis
-Voicebox
Lower respiratory tract
Larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs
Bronchi
Tubes that direct air to lungs
Lungs
Network of alveoli and capillaries for gas exchange
Glottis
Opening found in voice box in between the two vocal cords
Three positions of conchi
Superior, middle, and inferior
Is pneumonia considered an upper respiratory tract infection
False, it’s a lower respiratory tract infection
Is inflammation and infection in the throat
It’s an upper respiratory tract infection
Conducting zone
-pulmonary ventilation
-Nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and terminal bronchioles
Respiratory zone
Gas exchange
-Respiratory bronchioles and alveoli
What is the major gas in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen
Ventilation
Act of inhaling and exhaling air
Respiration
Performing gas exchange in the lungs
External respiration
Gas exchange between air in lungs and pulmonary capillaries (blood)
Internal respiration
Gas exchange between tissue capillaries and working tissues
In internal respiration, carbon dioxide is going to move into the tissues
False, we take oxygen out of tissue to exhale CO2 to tissue capillary
An external respiration oxygen moves into alveoli?
False, O2 needs to move to capillary not alveoli
What systems regulate blood pH?
Respiratory system and urinary system
What causes the release of RAAS
A drop in volume and pressure
What are the three line of defense is?
-nose hair
-Ciliated pseudostratified epithelium with goblet cells
-Alveolar macrophages
Runnin – angiotensin – aldosterone system (RAAS)
Renin converts Angeo 10 Synergen into angiotensin one, then angiotensin1 converts, angiotensin, converting enzyme into angt2
What does angiotensin 2 cause:
-SNS= vaso constriction of blood vessels (incr pressure)
-Adrenal glands= Aldosterone to retain water (increase pressure)
-Post pituitary gland= ADH to retain water in DCT & CD
* Worsens hypertension*
3 bones that form nasal cavity
Ethmoid, septal cartilage, and vomer bone
What is the superior structure of the nasal pathway?
Nasal pharynx
