Exam 3 Respiratory System Anatomy part Flashcards
Chapter 22 A&PII
Functions of the respiratory system
- Gas exchange
- Olfaction
- Acid-base balance
- Communication through vocal cords
- Movement of fluids
- Balsava movement
Ventilation
Breathing in and out
Inspiring and expiring
Cellular respiration
Last step
02 picks up electrons to continue the chain in ATP production.
- By product is CO2
Internal respiration
Gas exchange at the tissues
O2 goes out from the blood into tissues, CO2 goes into the blood from the tissues
O2 needed to produce ATP
External Respiration
Gas exchange at the pulmonary circuit
O2 goes in, CO2 goes out
Organs of the respiratory system
- Nose
- Pharynx
- Larynx
- Trachea
- Bronchi
- Lungs
Two division of repiratory system
Conducting division
Respiratory division
Conducting division
Movement
Function is airflow
Moving the air
Respiratory division
Function in gas exchange
Nose
Inlet and outlet
Sensory receptor cells for smell
Cleans humidifies and warms the air
Resonating chamber for voice
Tissues that make up the outside of the nose
- Bone
- Hyaline cartilage
- Septo cartilage (divided the nasal fossa)
- Dense connective tissue
Vestibule
The initial portion of the nose
where we see the little hairs
Lines with stratifies squamous to protect again abrasion
Nasal fasa
Ciliated pseudostratified epithelium
Goblet cells
Respiratory mucosa
The 3 “finger-like” structures when looking at the upper respiratory tract from a side view
Conchae
Turbinates:
Superior
Middle
Inferior
Space between the conchae or turbinate
Meatuce
Where air flows through the nasal fossa
Where air comes into contact with the respiratory mucosa
