nostrils
two openings into the nose; air enters here;
76
mucous membrane
warm, filter, and moisten the air; sense of smell
77
cilla
microscopic hairs in the nasal cavities that filter air and move mucus
78
sinus
hollow areas in skull that provide resonance for voice; connected by small tubes to back of nasal cavities
79
what is the pharynx, what are the 3 parts to it, and what does it connect together?
transports air, liquids, and food; divides at inferior end; anterior tube takes air; posterior end becomes esophagus and carries food and liquids to stomach;
connects the nose, mouth, and esophagus
nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx
80
epiglottis
flap of cartilage that opens to allow air into lungs; closes to keep out liquids and food
81
larynx
box of cartilage that contains vocal cords
82
vocal cords
vibrate when exhaling to create voice; in the larynx
83
trachea or windpipe
10-12 inch flexible tube that carries air into chest cavity
84
bronchus
two rigid tubes that branch off the trachea; one to each lung
85
bronchi
plural/multiple of bronchus
86
bronchioles
multiple branches of smaller tubes that take air into all parts of lungs
87
alveoli
microscopic air sacs at ends of smallest bronchioles; exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with blood
88
lungs
two spongy organs divided its segments called lobes
89
how many lobes does the right lung have and what are their names?
3 lobes; superior, middle, and inferior lobes
90
how many lobes does the left lung have?
2 lobes; superior and inferior lobes
91
diaphragm and where it is located?
muscle that facilitates breathing; between the abdominal and thoracic cavity
92
protective membrane for the lungs
pluera
93
where is the hard palette located?
at the front of the roof of the mouth in front of the soft palette, it is solid (not a pocket)
94
where is the soft palette located?
at the back of the roof of the mouth behind the hard palette, is a pocket (not solid)
95
3 functions of the respiratory system
provide body with oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide (exchange O2 and CO2)
breathing in fresh air and exhaling out old air
pass air over vocal cords to produce sound (so we can speak)
96
what is the soft palette made of?
muscle and tissue
97
what is the hard palette made of?
bone
98
in order from top to bottom, list the 3 pharynx's
1. nasopharynx
2. oropharynx
3. laryngopharynx
99
where do you get laryngitis
BEHIND the laryngopharynx
100
in order from biggest to smallest list the bronchus "group" in order, and why are alveoli round?
bronchus
bronchiole
alveoli; round to increase surface area
101
where does gas exchange occur?
in the alveoli
102
breathing in
inspiration
103
breathing out
expiration
104
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (moving of oxygen)
respiration, is harder to make the patient do than just putting them on a ventilator
105
process of moving air in and out of the lungs (breathing in and out)
ventilation, is easier to put the patient on a ventilator than making them respirate
106
what does a ventilator do? affects, symptoms, etc?
ventilator only makes air go in to your lung but it does not make the capillaries absorb the oxygen, it causes people to become weak, not take in oxygen on their own, makes you sicker and it usually does not have a good prognosis (in simple terms, the patient will start relying on the ventilator to breathe FOR them rather than aiding in them to breath better, this is bad)
107
cavity
a hole in which things are housed or go to
