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
