can be found interspersed throughout the pseudostratified epithelium. these cells produce mucus, forming a protective layer over the epithelium. provides moisture to humidify the air before it reaches the lungs

Q

the consequences if a human body did not have ciliated respiratory epithelium

A

without ciliated epithelium, the body would lose as aspect of immunity, allowing more debris and potentially harmful pathogens into the respiratory system. without ciliated RTE, a person would be more susceptible to respiratory tract infections.

22
Q

this organ produces sound, known as the voice box. made up of a variety of cartilages, ligaments, and muscles. sits anterior to the esophagus, connecting the pharynx with the trachea and preventing food from entering the trachea

A

the larynx

23
Q

a large spoon shaped elastic cartilage that functions to prevent food from passing into the trachea. during swallowing, it flips downwards and covers opening of the trachea

A

the epiglottis

24
Q

a shield shaped hyaline cartilage that provides attachment for many muscles as well as the vocal cords

A

thyroid cartilage

25
Q

this cartilage is a complete ring of hyaline cartilage. it is narrow anteriorly and broad posteriorly. functions as an attachment for muscles and the vocal cords

A

cricoid cartilage

26
Q

small ligaments attached to laryngeal cartilages that vibrate when air is forced out of the lungs. when these cords vibrate, sound is produced.

A

vocal cords

27
Q

extends from the larynx to approximately the level of T4/T5, where it splits at a junction called the carina. the main function of this structure is the conduction of air to the lungs

A

the trachea

28
Q

the three histological layers of the trachea

A

mucosa, submucosa, adventitia

29
Q

what is the submucosa of the trachea composed of

A

made up of loose connective tissue, containing larger vessels and nerves, as well as mucus secreting glands.

30
Q

what is the submucosa of the trachea composed of

A

made up of loose connective tissue, containing larger vessels and nerves, as well as mucus secreting glands.

31
Q

the outer layer of connecting tissue surrounded the trachea, this layer also enclosed the c shaped cartilaginous rings made of the hyaline cartilage.

A

adventitia

32
Q

which primary bronchus is wider, shorter and more vertical than the other

A

the right primary bronchus

33
Q

components of the bronchial tree

A

the primary bronchi, the secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, terminal bronchioles.

34
Q

components of the bronchial tree

A

the primary bronchi, the secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, terminal bronchioles.

35
Q

after inhaled air reached the terminal bronchioles, which region. of the respiratory systems does the air travel to next?

A

the respiratory portion

36
Q

after inhaled air reached the terminal bronchioles, which region. of the respiratory systems does the air travel to next?

A

the respiratory portion

37
Q

this portion serves to allow for gas exchange between air and blood

A

respiratory portion

38
Q

this portion serves to allow for gas exchange between air and blood

A

respiratory portion

39
Q

what are differences between the left lung and the right lung

A

the right lung:
- has three lobes( superior, middle, inferior)
- has two fissures ( horizontal and oblique
- larger than left

left lung
- has two lobes ( superior and inferior)
- contains the cardiac notch on superior lobe
- superior lobe has the lingula
- has one fissure ( oblique fissure)

40
Q

surfaces of the lungs

A
  • apex
  • diaphragmatic
  • costal
  • mediastinal
41
Q

gas exchange

A

the exchange of gases between the air and blood. inspired oxygen moves across the cellular membranes of the alveolus of the lung and its associated capillaries into the blood while waste or carbon dioxide moves in the opposite direction and out of the body.

42
Q

external respiration vs internal respiration.

A

external respiration refers to. the exchange of gases between the air and blood. inspired o2 moves across cellular membranes of the alveolus of the lung and its associated capillaries. waste. co’s moves in the opposite direction and out of the body through expiration.

internal respiration is the exchange of gases between blood and cells or the body

43
Q

gas conditioning

A

gas entering the lungs need to be conditioned or warmed and cleansed in order to prevent damage to the lungs.

44
Q

gas conditioning

A

gas entering the lungs need to be conditioned or warmed and cleansed in order to prevent damage to the lungs.

45
Q

where does gas conditioning occur

A

the nasal cavities and the paranasal cavities. inhaled air is cleansed of particulate matter through contact with mucosal lining on respiratory epithelium

46
Q

sound production

A

forceful expiration of air through the vocal cords in the larynx causing them to vibrate.

47
Q

where is olfactory epithelium found

A

at the top of the nasal cavity

48
Q

defense function of respiratory system

A

course hairs in nostrils, cilliated cell of the the respiratory tract epithelium and mucus lining help trap particles and prevent them from entering the nose and respiratory system

49
Q

respiratory tract epithelium

A

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
goblet mucus cells

50
Q

respiratory tract epithelium

A

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
goblet mucus cells

51
Q

what would happen if the body did not have ciliated respiratory epithelium

A

increased risk of infections
without ciliated cells that help move mucus , it would not be effectively cleared leading to an accumulation of bacteria viruses and pathogens

compromised smell and taste
lack of ciliated particles could impair smell and taste

52
Q

structure of trachea

A

trachea is made up of 15-20 cartilaginous rings which keep the airway open. they are connected posteriorly by the trachealis muscle

53
Q

what epithelium is the trachea lines with

A

respiratory tract epithelium mucosa

54
Q

what layer of of the trachea encloses the c shaped cartilaginous rings made of hyaline cartilage. these rings make the trachea flexible and durable. which is important as the r organs in the thoracic cavity shift with the movement.

A

adventitia
