Chapter 24 exam 3 Flashcards
Respiratory system
- Gas exchange between the air and the blood
- Moves air to and from exchange surfaces of lungs
- Protects the respiratory surfaces from dehydration & keeps them moist
- Produces sound involved in verbal communication
- Assists in the regulation of blood volume, blood pressure, & body fluid pH
4 stages of breathing: Pulmonary Ventilation (1)
Tide-like movements of air into and out of the lungs
4 stages of breathing: External Respiration (2)
- Gases diffuse from the air in the lungs into the blood through alveoli and capillary beds
- Blood gains O2 and dumps CO2
4 stages of breathing: Transport of gases (3)
Blood circulates throughout the body
4 stages of breathing: Internal respiration
- Gases flow into and out of body tissues and are exchanged with circulatory system
- Blood gains CO2 and dumps O2

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar cells
- not in pharynx, smaller bronchi, or alveoli
- Cilia move mucous up to pharynx
Stratified squamous cells:
- pharynx
- Nonkeratinized, protects against abrasion
Mucus-producing cells
- nasal cavity, sinuses, lower respiratory tract
- Mucous will trap debris; keep surfaces moist
Simple squamous
- in alveoli
- Produce surfactant; allow for gas diffusion
Respiratory defense system: Vibrissae
Hairs in the nose block some of the inhaled debris
Respiratory defense system: Nasal Cavity
- nasal conchae & paranasal sinuses
- Produces mucus to trap inhaled debris; Sneezing will remove this debris
- Incurrent air is also warmed and humidified
Respiratory epithelium mucus will trap inhaled debris: Mucocilary escalator
- moves debris upward toward pharynx
- coughing or swallowing will remove this debris
Sinuses function
- produce mucus
- resonate sound
- lighten the skull
- humidifies air
Intrinsic laryngeal muscles
move vocal folds/ O+C glottis
Extrinsic laryngeal muscles
stabilize the larynx
Vestibular ligaments
protect the vocal ligaments
Vocal ligaments
involved with making noise
Vocal fold=
vocal cord
the “folds” are sheets of ______ tissue that cover their respective ligaments
connective
air passing through the glottis vibrates the _____ _______ and creates _____
vocal folds; sound
Pitch depends on the ____, _____, and _____ in the vocal folds
diameter, length, and tension
amplification of sound occurs in the _____ ______
sinus cavities
Production of distinct sound depends on movement of the _____, ____, and _____
lips, tongue, and cheeks
Phases of swallowing (3)
- Buccal phase: tongue forces compacted bolus into oropharynx
- Pharyngeal Phase: Laryngeal movement folds epiglottis; pharyngeal muscles push bolus into esophagus
- Esophageal phase: bolus moves along esophagus; larynx returns to normal position
Tracheal rings (trachea)
- “c” shaped
- hyaline
