Q
  1. 5 What is the Pharynx?
  2. 6 can the pharynx change shape?
  3. 7 The pharynx contains how many constrictor muscles?
A

Pharynx -A muscular tube shared by respiratory and digestive systems

Q

7 What is the purpose of the Laryngeal system?

7.5 What is phonation?

A

It’s the voicebox
It allows Phonation(sound production)
prevents contamination of the lower airway by ingested food/drink(epiglottis)

•Phonation (sound production) is controlled by intrinsic muscles that move the laryngeal cartilages

Q

8 What is the purpose of serous membranes?

  1. 5 What are some examples of serous membranes?
  2. 6 What three parts do serous membranes consist of?
A

•Serous membranes are two-layered membranes that promote effortless movement or reduce friction that would otherwise be associated with that movement

8.5 Examples: pericardium of heart and pleura of lungs

8.6 •Visceral layer
•Parietal layer
•Pleural Cavity

Q

Increased PCO2 in the lungs causes smooth muscle in bronchioles to relax and lumen to dilate, this will increase or decrease airflow

increase airflow

Q

•Ventral Respiratory Groups (VRG)

A

only functions during active breathing (exercise and stress); associated primarily with expiration; also responsible for very active inspiration like gasping

Q

•Dorsal Respiratory Groups (DRG):

A

•Dorsal Respiratory Groups (DRG): responsible for quiet or active inspirations, ad control over the basic rhythm of breathing

•Neurons in both groups control muscles responsible for inspiration and expiration
Ventral respiration and dorsal respiration cycle into each other

Q

Respiratory centres in the pons

Apneustic centers

Pneumotaxic centers

Vagus nerve

A
  • Apneustic and pneumotaxic centers regulate the depth and rate of respiration
  • Apneustic centers stimulate the inspiratory neurons of the VRG and DRG; overstimulation causes gasping (apneustic breathing)
  • Pneumotaxic centers inhibit the inspiratory centers to allow the switch to expiration; increased signaling increases respiration rate, while decreased signaling allows an increase in tidal volume.
  • Higher brain centers and the Vagus nerve help control activity of these centers to control rate and depth of respiration

Q

What is the difference between DRG and VRG (medulla) vs. the Pneumotaxic and apneustic centers (pons)

A

Summary
•DRG and VRG (medulla) set the baseline depth and rate of respiration
•Pneumotaxic and apneustic centers (pons) can modify that baseline

Q

What is the difference between pharynx and larynx?

A

Pharynx- separates respiratory and digestive system (upper)

Larynx- voice-box (lower)
