Modul 20 pt 1 Flashcards
This zone is the site of gas exchange including respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli
Respiratory Zone
This zone brings things to the gas exchange
Conducting Zone
What is the main respiratory muscle? It is attached to the lungs?
Diaphragm
This provides way for airway respiration, it moistens and warms entering air
The nose
This is part of the external nose, it is a shallow vertical groove inferior to the apex
Philtrum
This is the muscular tube that connects to the nasal cavity superiorly, has three parts
Pharynx
This is the airway posterior to the nasal cavity, has tubes that open to the lateral walls, a passage for air only
Nasopharynx
This is a passageway for food and air from the level of the soft palate to the epiglottis
Oropharynx
This is another name for the opening of the mouth
Isthmus of fauces
This is a pathway for food and air, extends to the larynx
Laryngopharynx
This attaches to the hyoid bone and opens the laryngopharynx, provides airway, routes air and food town different tubes, also voice production happens here
Larynx
This is made of elastic cartilage covers the laryngeal inlet during swallowing
Epiglottis
This is the windpipe that runs form the larynx into the mediastinum
Trachea
This is the inner most layer of the trachea, its ciliated with goblet cells
Mucosa
This is the middle layer of the trachea, its made of connective tissue and has glands
Submucosa
This is the outermost part of the trachea, it is made of connective tissue that encases the cartilage rings
Adventitia
This is the last tracheal cartilage
Canna
Which lung is bigger and why
Right because the heart is towards the left
This is made up of alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basement membrane
Respiratory membrane
These are surrounded by fine elastic fibers, they allow air pressure throughout the lungs to be equalized
Alveoli
This is on the mediastinal surface, which is the site for attachment of the blood vessels, bronchi, lymphatic vessels and nerves
Hilum
This delievers blood from the heart to the lungs and back, oxygenated blood is in the veins
Pulmonary circulation
This is the blood system that delivers blood supply to the lungs through bronchial arteries
Systemic circulation
