lower respiratory and start of digestive Flashcards
The airway that leads from the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi
trachea
bifurcates from trachea into left and right lungs
main bronchi
bifurcates from main bronchi. Two exist in the left lung, and three exist in the right lung
lobar bronchi
bifurcates lobar bronchi
segmental bronchi
part of lung above the first rib, right side
apex of right lung
forms the superior part of the right lung
superior lobe of right lung
forms the superior part of the left lung
superior lobe of left lung
forms the middle part of the right lung
middle lobe of right lung
forms the bottom part of the right lung
inferior lobe of right lung
forms the bottom part of the left lung
inferior lobe of left lung
separates superior and middle lobes of right lung
horizontal fissure
separates middle and inferior lobes of right lungs
oblique fissure of right lung
space for heart which takes up space on left pulmonary side
cardiac notch
separates superior and inferior lobes of left lungs
oblique fissure of left lung
broad, concave, and rests upon the convex surface of the diaphragm, separating the left lobe of the liver, the stomach, and the spleen
base of left lung
It plays a major role in breathing, as its contraction increases the volume of the thorax
diaphragm
tertiary bronchi, each of which supplies a bronchopulmonary segment.
segmental bronchus
carry air to small sacs in your lungs called alveoli, not the very end though
bronchioles
the smallest conducting airway without alveoli in its walls
terminal bronchioles
cluster of grape looking things leading of terminal bronchioles
alveolar sac
passageways connecting the alveolar sacs and bronchioles
alveolar ducts
microscopic balloon-shaped structures located at the end of the respiratory tree, where gas exchange between inspired air and the blood takes place
alveolus/alveoli
responsible for the property of passive tissue recoil, which is necessary for expiration and proper ventilation.
elastic fibers
the smallest blood vessels inside of the lungs, attached to the walls of the alveoli
pulmonary capillaries
uneven surface of tongue. helps to grip food while chewing and allowing to taste
lingual papilla
the space between the bottom of tongue and the gums/teeth.
oral vestibule
smallest of the three major salivary glands, lies between the muscles of the floor of the oral cavity
sublingual salivary gland
