Exam 4 Part 2 Flashcards
Thymus
in mediastinum, anterior to heart
size decreases as age increases
T lymphocytes mature here
Red bone marrow
hemocytoblasts (precursor to lymphocytes)
B lymphocytes mature here
hemocytoblasts
precursor germ cells to both T and B cells
B cells
remain in bone marrow and mature into lymphocytes here
after mature can migrate to other lmphati tissues
will divide as needed to make B lymphocytes
B lymphocytes
produce antibodies
T cells
leave bone marrow in immature state during fetal and neonatal life
migrate to thymus where they mature
after mature can migrate to other lymphatic tissues
will divide as needed to T lymphocyte
Respiration
ventilation, gas exchange, use of oxygem
ventilation
breathing
moving air by moving chest wall
lungs adhere to chest wall
movement of interostal/thoracic muscles and diaphragm
Upper respiratory tract
nose pharynx -nasopharynx -oropharynx -laryngopharynx
nose
one nasal cavity divided by septum nostril (2) choana (2) vibrissae lined with epithelium; goblet cells projections: chonchae (turbinate bones) paranasal sinuses in 4 bones lacrimal ducts superior and middle conchae from ethmoid bone
pharynx
back of throat connection of oral and nasal cavity, larynx, esophagus -> stomach digestive and respiratory includes tonsils 3 regions
pharynx regions
nasopharynx
oropharyx
laryngopharynx
naspharynx
respiratory only uvula-hangs from soft palate auditory tubes (Eustachian) pharynxgeal tonsil (adenoids) lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial tissue with goblet cells
oropharynx
digestive and respiratory
tongue attaches
2 pair tonsils: palatine and lingual
lined by stratified squamous ET
laryngopharynx
digestive and respiratory
lined by stratified squamous ET
