Q

describe the structure of the epiglottis?

A
  • Plate like sheet of elastic cartilage (ridged)
  • hinged: folds over to cover the glottis

26
Q

what are the 2 laryngeal ligaments?

A

vestibular lig. + vestibular folds = vestibular cords = FALSE
- attaches to corniculate cartilage
True vocal lig. + true vocal folds = TRUE vocal cords

27
Q

What changes the sound and pitch of your voice?

A

tensions and stretching of the vocal cords

28
Q

what 2 structures does the trachea attach too?

A

Larynx and lungs

29
Q

describe the trachea?

A
  • tough flexible tube
  • c shape hayline cartilage
  • connected by annular ligament
  • trachea is linned with respiratory epithelium
  • trachea divided to form R/L primary bronchi
30
Q

Where is the trachealis muscle?

A

posterior “gap” between rings

31
Q

where does the Carnia branch off at?

A

burification @ T5

32
Q

what is a tracheostomy?

A

surgical opening in the trachea to allow passage of air

33
Q

what bronchus is longer and aligned with the trachea?

A

Right

34
Q

describe the primary into the secondary bronchi?

A

bronchi split to form secondary (LOBAR) bronchi

- right side has 3 bronchi , left side has 2 bronchi

35
Q

describe the secondary into the tertiary bronchi?

A

bronchi split to form. the tertiary (SEGMENTAL) bronchi

- located within each bronchopulmonary segment

36
Q

describe the bronchi splitting into bronchioles?

A
  • bronchioles branch into respiratory bronchioles

- respiratory bronchioles terminate in several alveoli

37
Q

in sympathetic ANS what does the bronchi do?

A

bronchiodialate

38
Q

In the parpasympathetic ANS the bronchi do what?

A

bronchoconstriction

39
Q

what is surfactant?

A

compound that lowers surface tension between surfaces

40
Q

in the bronchi what does not remove debis?

A

Macrophages remove debris (not cilia)

41
Q

what is the site for gas exchange?

A

Alveoli

42
Q

What epithelium is on the alveoli?

A

simple squamous epithelium (very thin, allows O2 to pass)

  • wall is very thin = respiratory membrane
  • vascular: facilitates O2 pickup and loss of CO2
43
Q

what cells produce surfactant? in the alveoli

A

Septal cells produce surfactant

- surfactant reduces surface tension in alveoli

44
Q

What fibers push air out of segemnt in alveoli?

A

Elastic fibers

45
Q

What is infant respiratory distress syndrome?

A

premature babies don’t produce enough surfactant

  • alveolar walls stick together = alveolar collapse
  • insufficient respiratory surface = blue baby
46
Q

What are the root, hilus, and lobes of the lungs?

A

root: Bronchus
Hilus: point of entry supported by pulmonary ligament
Lobes:
- right lung (3) superior, middle, inferior
- left lung (2) superior and inferior

47
Q

What is all contained in the mediastinum?

A

(central portion of the thoracic cavity)

  • heart, aorta, vena cava, trachea, root of lung
  • esophagus, thymus, CN X and phrenic nerve
48
Q

where is the Visceral Pleura?

A

Serous membrane on the lung surface

49
Q

Where is the Parietal Pleura?

A

serous membrane linning pleural cavity

50
Q

What makes up the pleural cavity?

A

“potential space”

between visceral and parietal

51
Q

what is found in between the parietal and visceral pleura?

A

Serous fluid

- surface tension that holds pleura together

52
Q

What is pneumothorax?

A
  • air enters pleural cavity
  • Serous fluid can no longer maintain pleural contact
  • lungs collapse
53
Q

What makes up the pericardial sac?

A

parietal pleura + parietal pericardium

54
Q

What is sucking wounds?

A

Elastic tissue draws the lungs into a sense lump of tissue - collapse draws air through open wound

55
Q

What is pleural adhesions?

A
  • damage to visceral and parietal pleura
  • tissue healing process confuses visc. and par. layers
  • pleural adhesion from between visc. and par. layers
  • painful during deep breaths and body movements
56
Q

What is Emphysema?

A

destruction of alveoli

  • COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) 90% of smokers
  • loss of SA for gas exchange - shortness of breath
57
Q

What is pulmonary embolism?

A

Blood clot in lungs

- clots block pulmonary blood vessels causes infarction/necrosis

58
Q

What happens during inspiration?

A
  1. Diaphragm contracts (phrenic nerve)
    - flattens: ncreases volume of thorax
    - compresses abdominal contents
    pressure decreases (vacuum) air is pulled into the lungs
59
Q

What muscles do you use during forced inspiraton?

A

several muscles raise rib cage

- external intercostals, sternocleidomastoid, serratus anterior, pectoralis minor

60
Q

What happens during expiration?

A
  1. decreases volume of thorax
    - rebound of abdominal contents
    mostly passive
61
Q

What happens during forced expiration?

A
  • abdominal wall compresses gut
  • internal intercostals muscles compress rib cage
    decrease thoracic volume: air is forced out of lungs
62
Q

What are the respiratory centers for control of breathing?

A
  • pons and medulla oblongata
63
Q

What are the mechanoreceptors for control of breathing?

A

lung volume + blood pressure

64
Q

What are the chemoreceptors for control of breathing?

A

CO2 and O2 and blood PH

65
Q

What is the purpose for a cough?

A

Reflex to protect respiratory tract
