Lab PP Respiratory Flashcards
major role of resp system includes:
to supply body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide
resp is divided into 2 zones
conducting and respiratory
nose to the terminal bronchioles
conducting zone of resp system
respiratory bronchioles to the aveoli
respiratory zone
4 respiratory processes
pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, transport of respiratory gases, and internal respiration
The tide-like movement of air into and out of the lungs so that the gases in the alveoli are continuously changed and refreshed. Also called breathing.
pulmonary ventilation
The gas exchange between the blood and the air-filled chambers of the lungs.
external respiration
transport of respiratory gases between
the lungs and tissue cells of the body accomplished by the cardiovascular
system, using blood as the transport vehicle.
transport of respiratory gases
Exchange of gases between systemic blood and tissue
cells.
internal respiration
what 2 systems are linked in which if one system fails, cells die and can lead to death
respiratory and circulatory
separates nasal cavity into right and left side
nasal septum
flows over 3 pairs of lobe like structures called __,___,and ___
inferior, superior, and middle nasal conchae
air passes into the resp tract thru the external ___ and enters the nasal cavity
nares(nostrils)
beneath each nasal concha is a cavity called ___ which increases the surface area of the nose
meatus
the passing air is warmed , moistened , and filtered by the __ ___
nasal mucosa
The nasal cavity is surrounded by the ___ __
paranasal sinuses
nasal passages are separated from the oral cavity elow by a partition composed nateriorly of the __ palate and posteriorly by the __palate
hard; soft
genetic defect causing difficulty in breathing and oral cavity functions such as sucking, mastication, and speech
cleft palate
___connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx and esophagus inferiorly consisting of nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx
Throat (funnel shaped pharynx)
lies above the soft palate serving as an air passage
nasopharynx
