breathing
pulmonary ventilation
inhalation, breathing in
inspiration
exhalation, breathing out
expiration
gas exchange at lungs
external respiration
gas exchange at tissues
internal respiration
this happens to and from lungs and tissues
transport of gases
this happens when cilia push mucus toward the throat to be spit/swallowed or to nostrils to leave nose
mucociliary escalator
what helps kill bacteria in the mucus?
lysozyme
what is the only external portion of the repiratory system?
nose
where does air enter?
nostriols
how many nasal cavities?
two
what are bony projections that increase surface area for warming and moistening inhaled air?
nasal conchae
where are odor receptors located?
olfactory epithelium
connects to the nasal cavities and acts as resonating chambers for speech
paranasal sinuses
separates the oral cavity from nasal cavity
palate
anterior, composed of maxillae and palatine bones
hard palate
postieror, muscular
soft palate
this is the throat, connects nasal and oral cavities to larynx
pharynx
where the pharynx meets nasal cavities
nasopharynx
where the pharynx meets oral cavity
oropharynx
where the pharynx meets larynx
laryngopharynx
what provides the primary lymphatic tissue defense for breathing
tonisls
this has cartilaginous passageway for air between the pharynx and the trachea
larynx
mucosal folds that vibrate as air is expelled, part of the larynx
vocal cords
