Genphyd Quiz Respiratory Flashcards
conducting portion of the respiratory system
nose
nasal cavity
pharynx
larynx
trachea
respiratory portion of the respiratory system
respiratory bronchioles
alveolar ducts
air sac (alveoli)
what are the two cyclic phases
inhalation / inspiration
exhalation / expiration
what draws gases into the lungs
inhalation
what forces gases out of the lungs
exhalation
what is involved in gas exchange
O2 and CO2
what is involved in sound production
nose
paranasal sinuses
teeth
lips
tongue
what structures makes up the upper respiratory tract
nose
nasal cavity
paranasal sinuses
pharynx
what cranial nerve is involved in the respiratory system
olfactory
CN1
these are paired in spaces and it decreases the skull bone weight
paranasal sinuses
where can the paranasal sinuses be found
frontal bone
ethmoidal bone
sphenoidal bone
maxillary bone
this is commonly known as the throat
pharynx
this part of the pharynx is used to force swallowed food into the esophagus
lateral wall of pharynx
superior most regioin ogf the pharynx
nasopharynx
middle pharyngeal region
oropharynx
2 pairs of muscular arches
anterior and posterior palatoglossal arches
this provides the first line of defense against ingested foreign materials
lymphatic organs
inferoir, narrowed region of the pharynx
laryngopharynx
voice box
larynx
conducting portion of the lower respiratory tract
larynx
trachea
bronchi
bronchioles
respiratory portion of the lower respiratory tract
respiratory bronchioles
alveolar mucosa
alveoli
this prevents swallowed materials from entering the lower respiratory tract
laryxnx
regulates tension on true vocal cords
intrinsic muscles
stabilizes the larynx
extrinsic muscles
two pairs of ligaments for sound production
vocal
vestibular
inferior ligaments covered by a mucosa membrane
vocal ligaments
superior ligaments covered by mucosa
vestibular ligament
produces sound when air passes between them
true vocal cords
opening between the vocal folds
rima glottides
rima glottides and the vocal folds
glottis
a flexible, slightly rigid tubular organ that extends through the mediastinum
trachea
