respiratory zone
- site of gas exchange
- consists of bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli
conducting zone
- provides rigid conduits for air to reach the sites of gas
exchange - includes all other respiratory structures [e.g., nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea]
primary respiratory muscles
diaphragm and external intercostals
hairs in nose that filter coarse particles from air
vibrissae
smell receptors in the
olfactory mucosa
bones of nose
ethmoid, sphenoid, cribriform plate
protrusions in nasal cavity that increase surface area
conchae or turbinates
Regions of pharynx
auditory tubes that open into lateral walls of nasopharynx
pharyngotympanic
opening between the true vocal cords
glottis
Valsalva’s maneuver
defined by the presence of alveoli
respiratory zone
lookit!
how many alveoli in each lung?
300 million
terminal bronchiole
air-blood barrier
alveolar and capillary endothelium
their fused basal laminas [= basement membrane]
alveolar walls made of what
A single layer of type I cells
and type II cells
Type I alveolar cells do what
permit gas exchange by simple diffusion
secrete angiotensin converting enzyme [ACE]
type II alveolar cells do what?
secrete surfactant
