Chapter 16 - Respiratory System Flashcards
True ribs
1-7
False ribs
8-10
Floating ribs
11-12
Sternum
long, flat bone in the midline of the anterior chest wall
Costalvertebral joint
The costal facet of the vertebral body articulates with the head of the rib
Costaltransverse joint
the costal facet is located on the anterior tip of the transverse process of the vertebra
Chondrosternal joint
costal cartilages articulate with the sternum - plane shaped synovial joints
Upper resiraptory tract
nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx
Lower respiratory tract
trachea and bronchial tree
Quiet inspiration
occurs when an individual is resting or sitting quietly (passive action)
Deep inspiration
Actions of quiet inspiration increase because a person needs more oxygen and therefore breathes harder - muscles that can pull the ribs up are being called into action
Forced inspiration
Occurs when an individual is working very hard, needs a great deal of oxygen, and is in a state of “air hunger”
Diaphragm origin
xiphoid process, ribs, lumbar vertebrae
Diaphragm insertion
central tendon
Diaphragm action
inspiration
External intercostal origin
