chapter 23 Flashcards
another word for pulmonary ventilation
breathing
external respiration
O2 and CO2 exchange between the lungs and the blood
Internal respiration
O2 and CO2 exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues
major organs of the respiratory system
Nose, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinuses Pharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchi and their branches Lungs and alveoli
Conducting zone structures
Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi carry to gas exchange sites
Respiratory zone
site of gas exchange, i.e, respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli
lower airways
all structures below the larynx
External nose structures
root, bridge, dorsum nasi, and apex
Philtrum
a shallow vertical groove inferior to the apex
Olfactory mucosa location
lines the superior nasal cavity
3 parts of the Pharynx
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
3 parts of the Pharynx
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
another word for the voice box
larynx
2 big cartilages of the larynx
cricoid cartilage
Thyroid cartilage
first part of the respiratory zone
respiratory bronchioles
what type of tissue is the epiglottis made of?
elastic cartilage
term for lung collapse
atelectasis
diameter of brochioles
less than 1mm in diameter
pulmonary ventilation - R
moving air in and out of the lungs
what divides the nasal cavity?
the nasal septum
bones that make up the roof of the nasal cavity
ethmoid and sphenoid bones
functions of the paranasal sinuses
Lighten the skull
Help warm air
Moisten the inspired air
Act as resonating chambers for speech
functions of the Larynx
voice box
allows for air to continue down into the trachea
routes food down the esophagus toward the stomach
cartilage that makes up the larynx
hyaline cartilage
function of the epiglottis
to close the entry into the larynx during swallowing to prevent food from getting into the trachea
name for the last tracheal cartilage
carina
how many orders of branching do the bronchi undergo?
23
how many lobes does the right lung have?
3
Respiratory membrane
microscopic structure allowing the diffusion of gases
which type of alveolar cell produces surfactant
type 2
what do the bases of the lungs sit on?
the diaphragm
what covers the lungs
pleura
Parietal pleura
covers thoracic wall and superior surface of diaphragm
Visceral pleura
covers all external surfaces of the lungs
Pleural fluid
provides lubrication and surface tension
Atmospheric Pressure (Patm)
pressure exerted by the air surrounding the body
Respiratory Pressure
pressure in side the airways
Intrapulmonary Pressure (intra-alveolar pressure)
pressure in side the lungs
what pressure should the intrapleural cavity always be?
negative
what happens if the intrapleural pressure becomes zero
lung collapse
Respiratory Muscles for Inspiration
Diaphragm ( main)
External intercostals
SCM (with forced inspiration)
Scalenes (with forced inspiration)
Respiratory Muscles for Expiration
Internal intercoastals
Muscles of the abdominal wall
3 things that inspiratory muscles have to overcome
Airway resistance
Alveolar Surface tension
Lung compliance
Tidal Volume (TV)
Amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under normal conditions
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
Amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inhalation
Residual Volume (RV)
Amount of air remaining in the lungs after forced exhalation
how to find inspiratory capacity
IC = TV + IRV
