Respiration involves two systems: _______ & _______
Cardiovascular and Respiratory
What is the main task of the respiratory system?
Supply body with O2
Dispose of CO2
What are the four processes of the respiratory system that work together?
Pulmonary Ventilation
External Respiration
Transport
Internal Respiration
This is also known as breathing, moving air into and out of the lungs, accomplished by the respiratory system
Pulmonary ventilation
This is the exchange of O2 and CO2 between the lungs and blood, accomplished by the respiratory system
External respiration
This is the moving of O2 and CO2 in the blood to the organs and the tissues , this is a function of the cardiovascular system
Transport
This is when there is an exchange of O2 and CO2 between the vessels and the tissues, this is done by the cardiovascular system
Internal Respiration
What are the first three organs of respiration?
Nose
Nasal cavity
Paranasal sinus
What are the second three organs of respiration?
Pharynx
Larynx
Trachea
What are the last two organs of respiration?
Bronchi and Alveoli
What are the two airways subdivided into?
Conducting zone
Respiration zone
This zone carries the air to the gas exchange sites, it consists of nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchi, the last structure is the terminal bronchi
Conducting Zone
This zone is the site of gas exchange, it consists of respiratory bronchioles, alveoli and alveolar
Respiratory Zone
What are the main functions of the nose?
Moisten, filter and heat air
What are the two regions of the nose?
External nose and the Nasal cavity
This is a shallow vertical groove inferior to the apex
Philtrum
These are bounded laterally by the alae
Nostrils
In the nasal cavity, what two bones make up the roof?
Ethmoid and Sphenoid
What bones make up the floor of the nasal cavity?
Hard and soft palates
This is the nasal cavity superior to the nostrils
Vestibule
