Chapter 24- respiratory Flashcards
respiratory system consist of
upper and lower respiratory system
what makes up the upper respiratory system
nose, pharynx, nasal cavity, and sinues
function of the upper respiratory system
filter, warm, and humidify air and bring in to and from the lower resp system
what makes up the lower respiratory system
larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles
gas exchange surface in the lower respiratory system
alveoli
function of the resp system
extensive SA for gas exchange
- move air to and from exchange surface
- protect exchange surfaces from damage
- produce vocalization
- regulate blood volume, pH, pressure
functional parameters of each resp surface
- inc SA of the membrane
- decrease thickness of the resp membrane
- highly vascularize the resp membrane– maximize conc gradient
encloses the nasal vestibule. involves cartilage, nasal bone, and external nares
nose
cartilages of the external nose
lateral nasal
major and minor alar
function of the nasal vestibule
protected by hairs
opens into nasal cavity
divided by nasal septum
starts at nasal vestibule and ends at internal nares.
divided in two by the nasal septum. separated from the oral cavity, muscus membrane lined
nasal cavity
oral cavity contains
hard and soft palate
make up of the hard palate
palatine and maxilla
superior region of nasal cavity. all areas have olfactory receptors
olfactory region
areas in the nasal cavity that are lined with olfactory receptors
cribform palate, superior nasal conchae and superior septum
three projections of bone on each side of the nasal cavity. involve the ethmoid and inferior nasal conchae bone
conchae
the 3 nasal conchaes
sup, inf, and middlw
function of the nasal conchaes
divide the cavity into passages, support mucous membranes, increase surface area, increase turbulance– filter out airborne particles
air filled sacs within cranial bones. open into the nasal cavity. lined with mucous membranes
sinuses
sinuses
maxilla, frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid
function of the sinuese
decrease weight of the skull, produce mucus, and resonant chamber
shared pasasge way for respiratory and digestive system. 3 parts– oro, naso, laryngo
pharynx/ throat
part of pharynx that is above the uvula and posterior to internal nares
nasopharynx
part of pharynx where portion is visible in the mirror
oropharynx
part of pharynx that is between the hyoid and the esophagus
laryngopharynx
function of the pharynx
passage way for food, passage way fro air, sound production
layers of the respiratory tree
mucosa, submucosa, hyaline cart, trachealis muscle
goblet cells in psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
mucosa
areolar CT + serous and mucous glands
submucosa
