2 - these layers can accumulate fluid between them.
saf
adf
Fx of:
- EAC
- TM
- Malleus, Incus, Stapes
- Cochlea
- acts as conduit of sound waves
- changes sound waves into mechanical movement.
- conducts sound to the oval window
- sends pressure changes therefore endo/perilymph fluid moves along the cochlea stimulating cilia.
Fx of round window
acts as a dampener that allows fluid to move inside the cochlea.
How does air get warmed during ventilation
Your face is very vascular, to include the inside of the oro/nasopharynx. Also the vessels are superficial to allow quicker warming of the air.
Fx of turbinates
Increase surface area which increases vascularity, which warms air and provides resonance to you’re voice.

Cricoid cartilage
What is the reflex if the carina is stimulated?
cough
How does the heimlich maneuver still work if you are chocking on during an exhale?
It doesn’t
anatomy of upper respiratory
askjfs
Define:
- ventilation
- respiration
- external respiration
- internal respiration
- mechanical movement of air/gas
- gas exchange
- gas exchange at the lungs
- gas exchange at the cellular level
6 phases of respiration
1 -ventilation of the lungs with fresh air
2 - exchange of gases between blood and air in the lungs
3 - transportation of gases by blood
4 - exchange of gases between blood and tissue
5 - exchange of gases between tissue and cells
6 - use of and production of gases by cells
define circulatory system
a enclosed system that delivers O2, nutrients, and hormones to every cell and tissue to the body. And carries away CO2, waste chemicals, and heat.
3 main components of the circulatory system
heart
vessels
whole blood
2 types of circulatory circuits
pulmonary
systemic
3 main components of blood vessels
arteries
veins
capillaries
- capillary inside diameter can be as small as one blood cell
whole blood:

WBC’s
Plasma (50%)
Platelets
Average whole blood for adults
- male
- female

- 5-7L
4-6L
clammy skin occurs like a fogged window.
