Chapter 23 Flashcards
Respiration
The process of supply in the body with oxygen and removing CO2
What are the three basic steps of respiration?
- Pulmonary ventilation or breathing
- External (pulmonary) respiration - is the exchange of gases between the alveoli of the lungs and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries across the respiration membrane in the process pulmonary capillaries gain 02 and loose CO2
- Internal (tissue) respiration - The exchange of gases between blood and systemic capillaries and tissue cells in the step the blood loses oh to engage in CO2 within cells the metabolic reactions that consume O2 and give off CO2 during production of ATP are termed cellular respiration
What are the components of the respiratory system?
Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
What does the respiratory system consist of structurally?
- Upper respiratory system includes the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, and associated structures
- Lower respiratory system includes the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
What does the respiratory system consist of functionally?
- The conducting zone consists of a series of interconnected cavities and tubes both outside and within the lungs these include the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles
their function is the filter warm and moist and air in conducted into the lungs
- The respiratory zone consists of tubes and tissues within the lungs where gas exchange occurs these include the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli and are
the main site of gas exchange between Air and blood
What are the functions of the respiratory system?
- Provides for gas exchange intake of O2 for delivery to body cells and removal of CO2 produced by the body cells
- Contains receptors for sense of smell, filters inspired air, produces vocal sounds and excrete small amounts of water and heat
- Helps regulate blood pH
Parts of external nose?
Boney framework - made up of the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillae
Cartilaginous framework - Septal nasal cartilage- forms the anterior portion of the nasal septum; lateral nasal cartilage -forms inferior to the nasal bones; Alara cartilage -form the portion of the walls of the nostrils
External nares or nostrils -which lead into cavities called the nasal vestibules
What are the three functions of the interior structures of the external nose ?
- Warming, moistening, and filtering incoming air
- Detecting olfactory stimuli
- Modifying speech vibrations as they pass through the large, hollow, resonating chambers
Resonance
Refers to prolonging, amplifying, or modifying a sound vibration
Nasal cavity
Internal nose
a large space in the anterior aspect of the skull that lies inferior to the nasal bone and superior to the oral cavity
lined with muscle and mucus membrane and a vertical partition the nasal septum
Internal nares
Choanae
Two openings that communicate with the pharynx
Paranasal sinuses
Drains mucus
Nasolacrimal ducts
Drains tears
Respiratory region
Larger, inferior nasal cavity region
Olfactory region
Smaller, superior nasal cavity
Lines with Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with numerous goblet cells
Frequently called the respiratory epithelium
Nasal vestibule
Anterior portion of nasal cavity just inside the nostrils
Surrounded by cartilage
What extends out of each lateral wall of the nasal cavity?
Shelves formed by projections of the superior, middle, and inferior nasal conchae
What cells make up the olfactory epithelium?
The olfactory receptor cells, supporting cells, and basal cells which lie in the respiratory region
What is the pharynx function as?
A passage way for air and food, provides a resonating chamber for speech sounds, and houses the tonsils which participate in immunological reactions against foreign invaders
What are the three anatomical regions the pharynx can be divided into?
- Nasopharynx
- Oropharynx
- Laryngopharynx
Nasopharynx
Superior portion of the pharynx lies posterior to the nasal cavity and extends to the soft palate
Soft palate
Forms the posterior portion of the roof of the mouth is an arch shaped muscular partition between the nasal pharynx and oropharynx, lined by mucous membranes
five openings in its wall: two internal nares, two openings that lead into the auditory tubes (commonly known as the eustachian tubes),and the opening into the oropharynx
Pharyngeal tonsil
Found in the posterior wall
also called adenoid
Oropharynx
Intermediate portion of the pharynx
lies posterior to the oral cavity and extends from the soft palette inferiorly to the level of the hyoid bone
one opening the fauces (mouth opening)
What are the two tonsils in the mouth?
Palatine and lingual tonsils
Laryngopharynx
Inferior portion of the pharynx
Also called the hypopharynx
Opens into the esophagus (food tube) posteriorly and the larynx (voice box)anteriorly
Larynx
The voice box is a short passageway that connects the laryngeal pharynx with the trachea
lies in the midline of the neck to the Esophagus
composed of nine pieces of cartilage
The cavity of the larynx
The space that extends from the entrance into the larynx down the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage
Laryngeal vestibule
Above the vestibular folds
Infraglottic cavity
Portion of the cavity below the vocal folds
Thyroid cartilage
Adam’s apple
Consists of two fused plates of hyaline cartilage that formed the anterior wall of the larynx and give it a triangular shape
Epiglottis
Large leaf shaped piece of elastic cartilage that is covered with epithelium
the “stem”of the epiglottis is the tapered inferior portion that is attached to the rim of the thyroid cartilage
the broad superior “leaf” portion of the epiglottis is unattached and is free to move up and down like a trapdoor during swallowing
the pharynx and larynx rise
elevation of the pharynx widens it to receive food or drink
elevation of the larynx causes the epiglottis to move down and form a lid over the glottis closing it off
Glottis
Consists of a pair folds of mucous membrane, the vocal folds in the larynx, in the space between them called the Rima glottidis
Keeps liquids and solids in the esophagus and out of larynx and airways
Cricoid cartilage
Is a ring of hyaline cartilage that forms the inferior wall of the larynx
Arytenoid cartilages
Triangular pieces of mostly hyaline cartilage located at the posterior, superior border of the cricoid cartilage
Corniculate cartilage
Horn shaped pieces of elastic cartilages, located at apex of each arytenoid cartilage
Where do the cilia in the upper respiratory tract move mucous and trapped particles?
Down toward the pharynx; Cilia in the lower respiratory tract move them up towards the pharynx
Structures a voice production?
Vestibular folds (false vocal cords) superior pair
inferior pair vocal folds (true vocal cord)
Rima vestibuli - space between vestibular folds
Laryngeal ventricle - Lateral expansion of the middle portion of the laryngeal cavity inferior to the vestibular folds and superior to the vocal folds
What is the principal structure of voice production?
Vocal folds
What is pitch controlled by?
Tension on the vocal folds
What does sound originate from?
Vibration on the vocal folds
Trachea
Wind pipe
What are the layers of the trachea wall From deep to superficial?
- Mucosa
