Lecture 23 EXAM 4 Flashcards
What is the formula for cellular respiration?
c6 h10 o6 + 6o2 —> 6co2 + 6h2o + ATP
diffusion of blood gasses requires what?
Thin walls + moist surfaces + rich blood supply
What makes are the upper respiratory tract?
Nasal cavity and paranasal sinus
What makes up the lower respiratory tract?
Trachea, bronchi, bronchial tree, lungs, and pleural cavity
what is the anterior opening of the nostril?
Bone: external nares
what cartilage supports the nostril?
(nostril = vestibule)
Alar cartilage
what makes up the nasal septum ? anterior and posterior portions?
anterior - septum formed by hayline cartilage
posterior - vomer, ethmoid bones
the lateral walls of the nasal cavity has several openings what are they?
nasolacrimal duct - carry tears
paranasal sinus - drain via paranasal ducts
all ducts/ sinuses lined with a mucous membrane
what is the posterior opening to the nasal cavity?
internal nares
What is the membrane covering the respiratory epithelium?
mucous membrane
- pseudostratified CILIATED columnar epithelium = another name for respiratory epithelium
- cilia sweep particles (trapped in mucous) to mouth
What is the pharynx and the regions?
Pharynx - common passage for respiratory epithelium
- nasopharynx
- Oropharynx
- Laryngopharynx
where is the nasopharynx?
Space above the soft palate, posterior to nasal cavity
What tonsil is in the nasopharyngeal?
pharyngeal tonsil (adenoids)
the auditory tubes connect what to middle ear?
nasopharynx
where is the oropharynx?
space below the soft palate and above the hyoid
What tonsil is associated with what pharynx?
oropharynx
palatine tonsils - located at the lateral walls
lingual tonsils - located at base of tongue
where is the laryngopharynx?
Space between hyoid and glottis
What are the functions of the Larynx?
- Cylinder - reinforced with cartilage
- suspended below hyoid bone
- surrounds and protects the glottis + Trachea
- vocal cords vibrate to produce sound
- Epiglottis - (Protective cover/ valve)
laryngeal cartilages are what?
modified tracheal rings
laryngeal cartilages are what?
modified tracheal rings
What is the thyroid cartilage?
Large shield like
adams apple
What is the cricoid cartilage?
Medium sized, ring shaped
what is the Arytenoid cartilage?
(2) anchor for vocal ligament
What is the corniculate cartilage?
(2) anchor for vestibular ligaments
What is the Cuneiform cartilage?
(2) stabilize epiglottis
describe the structure of the epiglottis?
- Plate like sheet of elastic cartilage (ridged)
- hinged: folds over to cover the glottis
- “valve” that diverts food to esophagus (protect airway)
