Chap 15: Respiratory System (Transes) Flashcards
Organs used of gas exchange
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Regulation of blood pH
7.35-7.45
The lungs produce
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE)
GENERAL PARTS:
- Nose
- Nasal cavity
- Larynx
- Pharynx
- Trachea
- Bronchi
- Lungs
Upper Respiratory Tract
Nose, Nasal Cavity Pharynx
Lower Respiratory Tract
Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs
Exclusively for air movement
Conduction
Gas exchange occurs (between air & blood)
Respiration
Open chamber inside the nose where air first enters
NASAL CAVITY
Nose composed of ______
hyaline cartilage plate
superior to each nostril with hair follicles
Nasal vestibule
divides nasal cavity (R & L)
Nasal septum
posterior part; opening of pharynx
Choanae
protrudes medially; increases the mucosal area and facilitate air turbulence to filter and moisture it
Conchae
anterior; roof of mouth
Hard palate
Connects the NC and superior to the larynx
PHARYNX
Serves as a passageway for both air and food
PHARYNX
near nasal area; only serves as air passageway
Nasopharynx
near mouth (oral)
Oropharynx
near laryngeal area
Laryngopharynx
Also known as voice box
LARYNX
Provides a patent airway
LARYNX
cartilage: largest amongst all; only 1
Thyroid cartilage
cartilage: point of junction anterior midline laryngeal prominence
Thyroid cartilage
cartilage: Ring of hyaline cartilage
Cricoid cartilage
cartilage: Forms the wall of larynx
Cricoid cartilage
cartilage: Large lift-shaped muscle
Epiglottis
cartilage: Prevents food and drink from entering trachea
Epiglottis
cartilage: Triangular ; posterior
Arytenoid cartilage
cartilage:Horn shaped
Corniculate cartilage
