respiration
exchange of CO2 and O2 ~ cells of body and atmosphere
turbinates and nasal conchae
air taken in thru nasal cavity passes over these thin tiny bony plates that filter incoming air and regulate its temp and humidity
mucus
traps inhaled debris and is moved to stomach by cilia
cilia
move mucus and debris to stomach
hair like cellular projections
4 sinuses
maxillary, ethmoid, frontal, sphenoid
pharynx
throat
air passage steps
- over turbinates and nasal conchae
- thru pharynx = throat
- past epiglottis
- into larynx (upper windpipe) and trachea
- trachea bifurcates into 2 bronchi (air tubes) to the lungs
- bronchi split into smaller tubes = bronchioles that terminates in alveoli
- enter lungs
- into blood by capillaries and pulmonary veins
throat
pharynx
epiglottis
prevents food from entering lungs
over/on top of glottis
glottis
vocal apparatus of larynx
upper windpipe
larynx
larynx purpose
upper windpipe guards entrance to trachea and is voice organ
trachea
air enters from larynx
tracheia = rough
previously termed artery (artery)
branches into 2 bronchi
bronchi
air tubes;
trachea branches into 2 bronchi (air tubes)
2 tubes separates by trachea’s carina (keel, ridge)
trachea’s carina
keel, ridge
of trachea separates 2 bronchi and diverts air into right and left lungs
lungs
divided into lobes and coated in serious double membrane “pleura” (side, rib)
visceral pleura encloses lobes
parietal pleura lines interior of chest cavity
pleura
side; rib
serous double membrane
1. visceral pleura - encloses lungs
2. parietal pleura - lines interior of chest cavity
3. pleural cavity is small space ~ membranes and lubricates movement
bronchioles
bronchi split into smaller tubes
