Lec 24 Flashcards
air flow pathway
1- nasal cavity
2- pharynx
3- larynx
4- trachea
5- primary bronchi
6- many smaller bronchi
7- bronchioles
8- terminal bronchioles
9- alveoli
10- air Sachs
upper respiratory system is
nasal cavity to larynx
lower respiratory system
trachea to alveoli
function of respiratory system
1- gas exchange
2- homeostatic regulaton of Ph: CO2 effect
3- condiotioning inspired air: warming, add water vapour
4- protection
5- vocalization
External respiration
Exchange I: atmosphere to lung
Exchange II: lung t blood
Transport of gases in blood
Exchange III: blood to cells
Lung to blood tissue exchange and important factors
alveoli to exchange epithelium
– fix law
– very thin capillaries
inspiration
air moves into lungs
expiration
air move out of lungs
ventilation
moving respiratory medium over respiratory surface
Which lung is bigger
right lung is slightly bigger
Left pleural cavity function
stick lungs to rib cage
Muscle of inspiration in normal breathing
1- external intercostals
2- diaphragm
external intercostal movement in normal breathing
up and out
diaphragm movement in normal breathing
down
forceful inspiration, extra muscles
1- sternocleido-mastoids
2- Scalenes
forceful expiration, extra muscles
1- internal intercostals
2- abdominal muscles
Lung intrapleural fluid
parietal pleura vs visceral pleura
parietal pleura function
stick to thoracic cavity wall
