Lab exam 4 Flashcards
Increases surface area for warming, filtering, and humidifying incomings air
- Superior nasal concha
- Middle nasal concha
- Inferior nasal concha
Passageway for food and air
Pharynx
- nasopharynx
- oropharynx
- laryngopharynx
passageway for air to the trachea, sound production
Larynx
prevents food and drink from entering the airways
Epiglottis
Helps maintain a patent airwar
Thyroid cartilage and Cricoid cartilage
ligaments that close the glottis
Vestiublar folds ( false vocal cords )
ligaments that vibrate and produce sounds
true vocal cords
opens and closes during speech, allows air to flows past the vocal cords
Glottis
passageway for air
Trachea
prevent collapse for the trachea
Tracheal rings
prevents foreign objects from going deeper into the airways
Carina
Passageway for air to the right and left lung
RIght and left Primary bronchus
Passageway for air to the lobes of the lungs
Secondary Bronchi
passageway for air to the segments of the lungs
segmental bronchi
passageway for air, end of the conducting zone
Terminal bronchiole
separates the RUL from the RML
Horizontal fissure
separates the RLL from the RML and RUL
Right oblique Fissure
separates the LLL from the LUL
Left oblique fissure
entry and exit points for the pulmonary arteries and veins and the mainstem bronchi
Hilum
Indentation on the left lung to accommodate the heart
cardiac notch
passageway for air, beginning of the respiratory zone
Respiratory bronchiole
gas exchange
alveolar sac and alveolus
controls the diameter of the airways
Bronchial Smooth muscle
increases lung volume during contraction
Diaphragm
connects the lungs to the diaphragm and ribcage
- Visceral and Parietal Pleura
anchors the kidneys in place
Renal fascia
protects against trauma
adipose capsule
protects kidneys against infection from other structures
renal capsule
houses the cortical nephrons
cortex
pathway for blood flow to and from the cortex
renal columns
houses the pyramids
medulla
contain the collecting ducts
pyramids
site where urnine exits the pyramid
papillae
collect urine from the papilla
minor calyx
collects urine from the minor calyces
major calyx
collects urine from the major calyces
renal pelvis
delivers oxygenated blood to the kidneys
Renal artery
drains deoxygentated blood away from the kidneys
Renal vein
controls blood flow into the glomerulus
afferent arteriole
controls blood flow out of the glomerulus
efferent arteriole
prduces progesterone
corpus luteum
guide ovulated oocyte into the fallopian tube
fimbriae
usual site of fertilization
ampulla
receives, retain and nourishes a fertilized ovum
uterus
produces mucus that blocks sperm entry except at midcycle
cervical canal
contains sebaceous glands, prevent the nipple from drying and cracking
areola
attach the breast to the dermis and to the pectoralis major
suspensory ligaments
milk producing structures
alveoli
transport breast milk to the nipple
lactiferous ducts
productions of haploid sperm cells and androgens
testes
maturations and storage of sperm cells
epididymis
houses the testes outside the body
scrotum
contains blood vessels, nerve fibers, and lymphatics that serve the testes
spermatic cord
cools blood before it enters the testes
pampiniform plexus
elevates the testes
cremaster muscle
transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
ductus deferens
produce seminal fluid
seminal vesicles
transports sperm from the ductus deferens to the urethra
ejaculatory duct
produces prostatic fluid
prostate gland
transports sem and urine to the exterior of the body
urethra
erectile tissue that surrounds the urethra
corpus spongiosum
two dorsal colummns of erectile tussue
corpora cavernosa
houses ovarian follicles in various stages of development
ovarian cortex
filtration of blood
bowmans capsule
reabsorption and secretion
proximal convoluted tubule
limited reabsorption
loop of henle
secretion and hormone-controlled reabsorption
Distale Convoluted tubule
absorb substances from nephron secrete wastes into nephron
Peritubular capillaries
filtration of blood
glomerulus
