Lecture 12 - Respiratory Flashcards
What are the 2 systems and 4 processes of respiration?
-Respiratory system
1. pulmonary ventilation (conduction/breathing)
2. external ventilation (respiratory/ gas exchange lungs to blood)
-Cardiovascular system
3. transport (O2 + CO2 in blood)
4. internal respiration (O2 + CO2 to tissues)
What is the 5th process called which is considered to be separate?
intra cellular respiration
List the 3 upper respiratory structures and their function
- nose (all components)
= clean, moisten, warm incoming air, resonance speech - paranasal sinuses
= lighten the skull, warm, moisten, filter air - pharynx
= passage air and food, expose immune system to air antigens
List the 6 lower respiratory structures and their function
- larynx
= voice, no food in lungs - trachea
= clean, warm, moisten the air - bronchial trees
= clean, warm, moisten the air, connect trachea to alveoli - alveoli
= gas exchange, surfactant for wall tension - lung
= respiratory passage - pleurae
= lube fluid, lung compartment
What are the external nose parts?
-root
-bridge
-dorsum nasi
-nostrils
What are the internal nose parts?
-posterior nasal aperature
-nasal vestibule
-nasal conchae
-paranasal sinuses
What nasal roof made of?
-ethmoid
-sphenoid
What nasal floor made of?
-soft and hard palate
Which two bones divide nasal cavity in 2?
-ethmoid
-vomer
What lines the nasal vestibule?
vibrissae (hairs) = filter corse particles
What line superior nasal cavity?
olfactory mucosa
What line inferior nasal cavity?
respiratory mucosa
What is the name of the glands in that secrete mucus?
seromucous nasal gland
-mucous cells
-serous cells
Name the conchae and their job
-superior
-middle
-inferior
= mucosal area
= enhance air turbulence
= filter, heat, moisten
What type of muscle composes the pharynx? What are the 3 regions?
=skeletal muscle
-nasopharynx
-oropharynx
-laryngopharynx
What structure drains and equalizes pressure in the middle ear?
pharyngotympanic tyubes
What are the 3 functions of the larynx?
I) open airway
II) guide food and air in the proper channels
III) voice production
Name the 9 cartilages of the larynx
- cricoid = bridge to trachea
- paired arytenoid
- vocal folds
- paired cuneiform
- paired corniculate
- epiglottis
What is the epiglottis made of?
What does it do?
What is it covered with?
What helps it to fold?
-elastic cartilage
-prevent food in the air canal
-taste buds + mucosa
-vestibular folds (false vocal cords)
What is the core of the vocal folds?
What made of?
-vocal ligaments
-elastic fibres = white
How speech?
intermittent release of expired air during the opening and closing of the glottis
-pharynx, tongue, soft palate and lips
How pitch?
length + tension of vocal cords
What does loudness depend on?
force of air
What structures amplify and enhance sound quality? (4)
pharynx, oral, nasal, and sinus cavities
What is Valsalva’s maneuver?
-glottis close to prevent exhalation
-ab muscle contact
-intra-ab pressure rises
-empty rectum/ stabilize trunk during heavy lifting
