Lesson 2 Flashcards
respiration
exchange of gas between an organism and its environment
essential for voice production
inspiration
the process bringing air into the lungs
aka inhalation
expiration
process of eliminating air from the lungs
aka exhalation
vertebral column- FUNCTION
provides protection for the spinal cords
types of vertebrae
- 7 Cervical
- 12 thoracic
- 5 lumbar
- 1 sacrum
- 1 coccyx
7 cervical (vertebrae)
-neck
C1-C7
atlas C1
Axis C2
atlas C1 (cervical)
supports the weight of the skull
very small spinous process
axis C2 (cervical)
fits into atlas and allows for rotation and pivoting of the skull
12 thoracic (vertebrae)
-behind ribcage
T1- T12
-larger spinous and transverse processes than cervical vertebrae
-superior and inferior costal facets are the attatchment points for ribs
5 lumbar (vertebrae)
- lower back
- L1 - L5
- largest and strongest vertebrae
- provide attachment points for back and abdominal muscles
1 sacrum (vertebrae)
- hips
- S1 - S5 fuse together to form sacrum
sacral foramina
provides a passageways for sacral nerves
1 coccyx (vertebrae)
- tailbone
- 3-4 coccygeal vertebrae fuse together to form the coccyx
- articulated with sacrum by means of a small disc
structures of a vertebrae
- body
- pedicles
- neural arch
- vertebral foramen
- spinous process
- transverse process
- superior and inferior articular facets
- anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments
body (structures of a vertebrae)
- corpus
- anterior large plate like portion
pedicles (structures of a vertebrae)
lateral sides of the body project posteriorly then join at midline
neural arch (structures of a vertebrae )
created where pedicles join at midline
vertebral foramen (structures of a vertebrae )
canal created when vertebrae are staked, passage of spinal cord
spinous process (structures of a vertebrae )
- extends dorsally and inferiorly from nueral arch
- attachment point for muscles and ligaments
transverse process (structures of a vertebrae )
- projects laterally on either side of the vertebrae
- attachment point for muscles and ligaments
superior and inferior articular facets (structures of a vertebrae )
allow vertebrae to stack on top of one another
anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments (structures of a vertebrae )
- extend through the length of spinal column
- bind the bodies of the vertebrae together
intervertebral discs
- fibrocartilaginous discs found between vertebrae except for C1 & C2
- provides support and cushion for vertebrae
spinal curvature - NORMAL
- cervical curve : Concave
- thoracic curve: Convex
- lumbar curve : Concave
- sacral curve : Convex
pelvic girdle- FUNCTION
- supports lower extremities
- bears weight for legs
pelvic girdle- STRUCTURES
- illium
- ischium
- pubic bones
ilium (pelvic girdle)
- large, wing like bone
- supports abdominal muscles
ischium (pelvic girdle)
- makes lower and back portion of hip
- fuses with ilium and pubis
pubic bones - (pelvic girdle)
joins together at the pubic symphysis
pectoral girdle - FUNCTION
supports upper extremities
pectoral girdle- STRUCTURES
- scapula
- clavicle
scapula (pectoral girdle)
- shoulder blade
- attachment point for several muscles which allow flexible upper body movement and strength
- attaches to axial skeleton only via clavicle
clavicle (pectoral girdle)
-collarbone
-attaches to sternum and scapula
provides anterior support for scapula
sternum
- attaches to the clavicle
- articulates with ribs by means of costal cartilage
- structures:
1. manubrium sterni
2. corpus
3. xiphoid
manubrium sterni (sternum structure)
- uppermost segment of the sternum
- contains jugular notch
- articulates with clavicle and first rib and part of second rib
corpus ((sternum structure)
- body
- articulates with 5 ribs
xiphoid ((sternum structure))
- enisform process
- provides attachment to the linea alba (midline of abdomen)
Ribs- TYPES
- true ribs
- false ribs
- floating or vertebral discs
true ribs - (rib types)
- consistent of the upper ribs (1-7)
- direct attachment to the sternum via a cartilaginous union
- allows for expanding rib cage without breaking ribs
false ribs - (rib types)
- ribs 8,9,10
- attached to the sternum via cartilage which runs superiorly
floating or vertebral ribs- (rib types)
- ribs 11 and 12
- does not attach to sternum
ribs - STRUCTURES
- head
- neck
- angle
- shaft
head (rib structure)
provides the articulating surface with the spinal column
neck (rib structure)
portion right below the head of the rib
angle (rib structure)
the point at which the rib begins to curve forward
shaft (rib structure)
the body of the rib
trachea
- flexible tube
- composed of 16-20 hyaline cartilage rings on the anterior portion
- lined with ciliated epithelial mucous membrane
- mucous glands secrete mucous to moisten incoming air and move particles out of the trachea via its cilia
- esophagus is posterior
trachealis muscle
located along posterior wall of trachea flexibility
carina trachea
point at which the trachea divides into bronchi
bronchi
- mainstream bronchi
- secondary bronchi
- tertiary bronchi
- bronchioles
- alveolar ducts
- alveoli
mainstream bronchi (bronchi tree)
- right bronchus
- left bronchus
secondary bronchi (bronchi tree)
extend into the lobes of the lungs
tertiary bronchi (bronchi tree)
smaller passageways extending into the bronchioles
bronchioles (bronchi tree)
terminal bronchioles or terminal bronchioli
alveolar ducts (bronchi tree)
passageways into the alveoli
alveoli (bronchi tree)
depression in alveolar sacs where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in a network of capillaries
lungs
-healthy lungs are soft, spongy, porous, elastic and pink
