Lecture #24,25,26 Respiratory System I & II Flashcards
What are the conduction portions of the respiratory system?
Nose Pharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Terminal Bronchioles
What are the respiratory portions of the respiratory system?
Respiratory Bronchiole Alveolar Duct Alveolar Sac Alveoli
In the nasal cavities, what makes up the roof boundaries?
nasal, frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid bones from anterior to posterior
In the nasal cavities, what makes up the floor boundaries?
Maxilla and palantine bone
In the nasal cavities, what makes up the medial boundaries?
septal cartilage, vomer and ethmoid bones, from anterior to posterior
In the nasal cavities, what makes up the lateral boundaries?
Formed by three “scroll/shell-like” nasal conchae or turbinates:
superior, middle and inferior meatuses
behind these are the ethmoid air cells and the maxillary sinuses
Where does the sphenoethmoidal recess drain?
Sphenoethmoidal recess: above the superior concha: drains the sphenoid sinus.
What does the superior meatus drain?
Superior meatus: drains the posterior ethmoid
What does the middle meatus drain?
Middle meatus: drains the maxillary, middle ethmoidal and frontal.
What does the inferior meatus drain?
Inferior meatus: drains the nasolacrimal duct.
Where do the frontal sinuses open?
- Lies anterior to cranial cavity superior to the orbits.
- Opens into the middle meatus.
Where does the maxillary sinuses open?
- Opens into the middle meatus.
- Largest of the sinuses, lateral to the nasal cavity, inferior to the orbit, superior to the oral cavity: root of the molar teeth project into it.
- Most prone to infection due to drainage against gravity.
Where do the ethmoid sinuses open?
- Form a paper thin wall between the orbit & the nasal cavity
- Opens into the superior & middle meatuses.
Where do the sphenoid sinuses drain?
- Lie below the sellaturcica and posteriorly above the nasal cavity.
- Drain into the spheno-ethmoidal recess above the superior concha/turbinate.
What muscles are involved in phonation in the pharynx?
- Forward tilting of the thyroid cartilage in relation to the cricoid cartilage lengthens the vocal cords producing a higher pitch.
- The cricothyroid muscle brings this about while the thyroartenoid muscle reverses it.
What muscles are involved in breathing in the pharynx?
- Lateral rotation of the arytenoid cartilages on the cricoid cartilage separates the vocal cords, opening the airway.
- The posterior cricoarytenoid muscles bring this about while the lateral cricarytenoid reverses this movement.

What are the structures of voice production?
Structures of voice production
The mucous membranes of the larynx forms 2 folds
- Vestibular fold (false vocal cords). (psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells)
- Vocal fold (true vocal cords). (stratified squamous non keratinised)
What type of epithelium lines the vestibular folds?
Vestibular fold (false vocal cords) Lined by **psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells**
What type of epithelium lines vocal fold?
Vocal fold (true vocal cords).
Lined by stratified squamous non keratinised
The space between the vocal cords is called the _____________.
rima glottidis
The space below the vestibular fold is called the _____________
ventricle
What are the 4 layers of the trachea?
- Mucosa
- Submucosa
- Hyaline cartilage
- Adventitia
