Histo (04.17) Respiratory System Flashcards
the respiratory system consists of paired ___ and a series of ____ to and form them
- lungs
- passageways
what are the three principle functions of the respiratory system
- air conduction
- air filtration
- gas exchange
what re the the two other functions of the respiratory system
- speech (phonation)
- olfactory sensation
air passing through the larynx and is used for speech
speech (phonation)
air passing over the olfactory mucosa in the nasal cavities carries stimuli for sense of smell
olfactory sensation
what two things compose the functional division of the respiratory system
- conducting division
- respiratory division
what all composes the conducting division of the respiratory system
- nose
- pharynx
- larynx
- trachea
- bronchi
- bronchioles
what all composes the respiratory division of the respiratory system
- respiratory bronchioles
- alveolar ducts
- alveolar sacs
- alveoli
has lots of branching to terminal bronchioles
conducting division
where gas exchange takes place, respiratory bronchioles to alveolar ducts to alveolar sacs to alveoli
respiratory division
first part of the respiratory division
respiratory bronchioles
pulmonary blood vessels (coming from the right side of the heart) enter the lung with the ____ and branch as the follow the ___ ___
- bronchi
- bronchiole tree
the pulmonary blood vessels end up with the __ ___ in contact with the ____ (primary site of gas exchange)
- pulmonary capillaries
- alveoli
the air is conditioned as it passes through the ___ ___ of air passages
conducting portion
conditioning the air means doing what three things
- warming
- moistening
- removal of particulate materials
____ and ____ ____ play significant role in conditioning, as these secretions moisten the air, trap particles, and prevents the dehydration of the epithelium
- mucus
- serous secretions
the mucous comes from what two places?
- globet cells
- mucous secreting glands
____ from respiratory epithelium sweep the mucous with the trapped particulate matter toward the ___ to be swallowed typically
