-tomy
surgical cut; process of cutting; incision
nostrils
two openings into the nose; air enters here;
mucous membrane
warm, filter, and moisten the air; sense of smell
cilla
microscopic hairs in the nasal cavities that filter air and move mucus
sinus
hollow areas in skull that provide resonance for voice; connected by small tubes to back of nasal cavities
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
epiglottis
flap of cartilage that opens to allow air into lungs; closes to keep out liquids and food
larynx
box of cartilage that contains vocal cords
vocal cords
vibrate when exhaling to create voice; in the larynx
trachea or windpipe
10-12 inch flexible tube that carries air into chest cavity
bronchus
two rigid tubes that branch off the trachea; one to each lung
bronchi
plural/multiple of bronchus
bronchioles
multiple branches of smaller tubes that take air into all parts of lungs
alveoli
microscopic air sacs at ends of smallest bronchioles; exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with blood
lungs
two spongy organs divided its segments called lobes
how many lobes does the right lung have and what are their names?
3 lobes; superior, middle, and inferior lobes
how many lobes does the left lung have?
2 lobes; superior and inferior lobes
diaphragm and where it is located?
muscle that facilitates breathing; between the abdominal and thoracic cavity
protective membrane for the lungs
pluera
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)
where is the soft palette located?
at the back of the roof of the mouth behind the hard palette, is a pocket (not solid)
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)
what is the soft palette made of?
muscle and tissue
what is the hard palette made of?
bone
in order from top to bottom, list the 3 pharynx’s
- nasopharynx
- oropharynx
- laryngopharynx
where do you get laryngitis
BEHIND the laryngopharynx
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
where does gas exchange occur?
in the alveoli
breathing in
inspiration
breathing out
expiration
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (moving of oxygen)
respiration, is harder to make the patient do than just putting them on a ventilator
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
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)
cavity
a hole in which things are housed or go to
