Arytenoid cartilages is _________ and attached to what muscle & fold?

A

Hyaline cartilage
- Mobile
- Attached to laryngeal muscles & vocal folds

17
Q

Epiglottic cartilage

A

Elastic cartilage
- Folds over laryngeal inlet during swallowing

18
Q

What type of folds are in the Larynx

A
  1. Vestibular folds
  2. Vocal folds
19
Q

Vestibular folds

A

“false vocal cords”
- Protect vocal folds

20
Q

Vocal folds

A

Sound production
- Close off larynx in swallowing
- Rima glottidis - opening

21
Q

What is Laryngitis

A

Inflammation of the larynx and surrounding structures
• Bacterial or viral infection
• Vocal fold overuse

22
Q

What type of cells does the Trachea have & what type of cartilage does it have?

A

• 2.5 cm in diameter
• 12-14 cm in length
• Inferior neck & mediastinum
• Tracheal cartilages
- Hyaline cartilage
- C-shaped
- Keep airways open
• Pseudostratified
columnar epithelium

23
Q

What is the function of the Bronchial Tree?

A

Bifurcating set airways
• Primary Bronchi
- Right
• Slightly wider & straighter
- Left
• Secondary, Tertiary etc.

24
Q

Bronchioles & Alveoli

A

Respiratory bronchioles
& Alveolar ducts
- Last airways
- Simple squamous epithelium
- Connect to alveoli
• Alveoli
- 300-400 million
- Gas exchange

25
Q

What are characteristic of Alveoli?

A

0.25-5 mm diameter

- Alveolar type II cells (surfactant)

• Thin walls
- Diffusion
-Simple squamous epithelium

Respiratory membrane
- Epithelium of
capillary & alveolus

Basement membranes
- Surfactant
• Moistens
• Surface tension

26
Q

Affects of Smoking

A

Cellular and genetic
damage
• Emphysema
- Irreversible loss of gas exchange surface area
- Inflammation of bronchioles & alveoli
- Dilated air spaces
- Supplemental oxygen

Lung Cancer
- Squamous cell carcinoma
• Simple squamous to stratified squamous
- Irritants such as smoke & chemicals
• Becomes malignant (mutations)
- Uncontrolled division
Metastasizes early

27
Q

What is the most common cavity in the lungs?

A

A

Serous membrane
- Lubricates
- Parietal pleura
• Chest wall
- Visceral pleura

to chest wall

29
Q

What are clinical aspects of the lung?

A

Lungs will collapse if fluid gas accumulates in pleural cavity
- Potential space becomes real
• Pneumothorax - air
Hydrothorax - fluid/pleural
effusions
