Chapter 23 Respiratory System Flashcards
what is the primary pathway for energy production
aerobic
what does aerobic metabolism require
oxygen
what aerobic metabolism produce
carbon dioxide
where is oxygen obtained
air
O2 ________ across surfaces in lungs
diffuses
O2 is transported from ________ to peripheral
lungs
O2 is transported from lungs to ________ _________.
peripheral tissue
CO2 is transported from __________ _________ to lungs
peripheral tissue
CO2 is transported from peripheral tissues to _________
lungs
Increase in _______ make our pH go down and turn to acidosis
CO2
Increase in CO2 makes our ______ go down and turn into acidosis
pH
Increase in CO2 makes our pH go down and turn into ________ .
acidosis
where does gas exchange take place?
lungs
what is the function of the respiratory system
- provide surface area for gas exchange
- move air to and from exchange surface of lungs
- protect surfaces from dehydration, temperature change, and pathogen
- produce sound
- detect odors with olfactory receptor in nasal cavity
respiratory system is divided into how many system?
two
1. upper respiratory system (nose nasal cavity, sinuses, and pharynx)
2. lower respiratory system (larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli
from nasal cavity to larger bronchioles
conducting portion
smallest respiratory bronchioles and alveoli
respiratory portion
air filled pockets with lungs, where all gas exchange takes place
alveoli
exchange of gas
respiration
a series of filtration mechanisms, removes particles and pathogens from inhaled air
respiratory defense system
found in lining of upper respiratory (nasal cavity and superior pharynx)
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial
has stratified squamous epithelium found in what portion of the respiratory tract
inferior pharynx
what in the nasal cavity removes large particles?
filtration
what sweeps mucus and trapped debris and microorganisms towards pharynx to be swallowed
cilia
engulf small particles that reach lungs
alveolar macrophages
the primary passageway for air entering respiratory system
nose
where does air enter through
nostril (nares)
once air enters the nostril where does it pass next?
nasal vestibule (space contain within flexible tissues of nose)
found in epithelium of vestibule and traps large particle in air
nasal hair
what does the upper respiratory system made of
- nose (nostril, nasal vestibule, nasal hair)
- nasal cavity
what divides the nasal cavity into left and right sides
nasal septum
superior portion of nasal cavity
olfactory region
produced in paranasal sinuses and tears to clean and moisten cavity
mucus
narrow passageways that produce air turbulence to trap particles in mucus, warm humidified incoming air and bring olfactory stimuli to olfactory receptors
meatuses
how many meatuses does air flow through?
three
1. inferior meatus
2. middle meatus
3. superior meatus
forms floor of nasal cavity and separate nasal and oral cavities
hard palate (front)
extends posterior to hard palate and divides superior nasopharynx from rest of pharynx
soft palate (back)
a chamber shared by digestive and respiratory systems and extends between posterior nasal cavity and entrances to larynx and esophagus
pharynx
the pharynx is divided into what three part
- nasopharynx
- oropharynx
- laryngopharynx
superior part of pharynx
nasopharynx
contains opening of tonsil and pharyngeal of auditory tubes
nasal pharynx
connects directly to oral cavity
oropharynx
inferior portion of pharynx, between hyoid bone and entrance of larynx and esophagus
laryngopharynx
slit-like opening between vocal chords
glottis
what three cartilage form the larynx?
- thyroid cartilage
- cricoid cartilage
- epiglottis
anterior surface forms adam’s apple
laryngeal prominence
open and close glottis and produce sound
corniculate and arytenoid cartilage
forms posterior portion of larynx
cricoid cartilage
cricoid cartilage use what to articulate
arytenoid cartilage
elastic cartilage that covers glottis when swallowing
epiglottis
during swallowing larynx is _______ .
elevated
what prevents food and liquid from entering respiratory tract?
epiglottis folds back over glottis
what passes through glottis vibrates vocal folds to produce sound wave
air
what reposition arytenoid cartilage to control tension of vocal folds to alter pitch of sound
voluntary muscle
tough, flexible tube that extends from cricoid cartilage to mediastinum and branches off into right and left main bronchi
trachea
thick layer of connective tissue in the trachea that contains tracheal glands that produce mucous secretions
submucosa
how many cartilage does the trachea have?
15-20 C-shaped tracheal cartilages
as the bronchial tree becomes smaller what happens?
it has less cartilage and more smooth muscle
bronchioles branches from ____________
segmental bronchus branches
bronchioles branches into ________
terminal branchioles
are dominated by smooth muscles
bronchioles
what controls luminal diameter of bronchioles by regulating smooth muscles and control air flows in lungs
autonomic nervous system
