Module 9 Wk 1 Flashcards
what does the respiritory system consist of?
- ancillary organs
- The lungs
- The diaphragm
What are the general functions of the respiritory systems?
- Gaseous exchange
- vocalisation
- olfaction
What does the respiritory contribute too and how?
- temp regulation as they dont have sweat glands all over body so pant to disapate heat
- Acid-base balane by regulating the blood levels of carbon diaxide and carbon monoxide
What are the lateral boundaries of the nasal cavity?
- maxilla bones
- insicive bone
- lacrimal bone
- zygomatic bone
What are the ventral boundaries of the nasal cavity?
- incisvive, maxilla and palatine bone
what are the dorsal boundaries of the nasal cavity?
- nasal and frontal bone
What is the caudal boundary of the nasal cavity in dogs?
- Cribiform plate of ethmoidal bone
What are the nostrils divided by in dogs?
Philtrum
Describe the skin at the nose of a dog
It is glandular, hairless, pigmented and grooved
What is the skin of a dogs nose moistened by?
Secretions from lacrimal gland and the lateral nasal gland
What artery supplies the nose/nasal plate?
Sphenopalatine artery
What are the muscles responsible for movement of muzzle region?
- superficial muscle = lavator nasolabialis
- Deep muscle = lavator labii maxillaris
- M caninus
What nerve supplies motor innervation to the muzzle?
facial nerve
What nerve supplies sensory innervation to the muzzle?
Infra-orbital nerve
Describe the realtionship between the nasal cartiliges and the nasal vestibule?
- nostril leads to nasal vestibule which extends beyond the boney skull supported by a series of cartiliages
- The cartiligenous nasla septum creates 2 seperate passage ways that lead to nasal cavity
What is the nasal septum supported by ventrally?
The vomer
How many muscosal folds are in each side of the nasal vestibule and what are they called?
Called alar fold ans there are 3
Describe the structure and function of The dorsal and ventral conchae
They are fragile boney stuctures lined with resp epithelium that is vescular. Its function is air conditioning air coming in.
Describe the structure abd function of ethmoidal epithelium
It is covered in olfactory epithelium and its function is smell
What are the passageways that the cochae form?
meatuses
What are the paranasal sinuses?
Are airfilled spaces between the plates of vone which form the boudaries of the nasal cavity
What are the functions of the holes in the skull?
- lighten head
- protect cranium
- increase area for muscular attachment
- resonance function
T/F the maxillary recess is a true sinus
False
What is the the vomernasal organ and what is its function?
- It is a tube filled with olfactory muscosa and resp ciliated epithelium
- Function is detection of pheromones
Where do you find incisive ducts anf what are there functions?
- Found behind upper front teeth in incisive papilla
- Function is apprasal of small amounts of fluid from oral cavity to create taste
What are the boundaries of the nasopharynx?
- base of cranium
- paatopharyngeal arch
- soft palate
- internal nares
What are the auditory tube opening lined by, where do the lead and whats the function?
- Lined by resp epithelium
- leads to tympanic bulla
- function is to equalise pressure
What is the rolse of the pharynx?
breathing and swallowing
What is the larynx supported by?
The hyloid apparatus which swings it rostrally when swallowing
What is the function of the cilia being motile in resp epithelium?
To catch depri and dirt
What is the function of the mucous being produced by goblet cells in the respiritory epithelium?
It warms incoming air and acts as erectile tissue as if there is congestion it will distrup airways so bad things dont get in and will vasoconstrict when more air needed in
Describe olfactory cells and their function
- Bipolar neurons specialise apical pole carries a non-motile cilia with specific odorant bindingreceptors
- These unite to form an olfactory nerve which passes through cribiform plate to terminate at the olfactory bulb
What is the function of the secretions from bowmans glands?
They solubilize incoming odorants and washes away excess so detecting cells dont become saturised
Why is the frontal sinus a problem with ethanasia of large ruminants?
They protect the cranial cavity
What is the problems that can occur in small ruminants at the the frotal sinuses?
Larvae of oestrus ovis fly cause nose to block and migarate to frontal sinus develop then sneeze out to infect others
Where is the pharyngeal tonsil located in ruminants and pigs too?
On the caudal edge of the pharyngeal septum
Where is the tubal tonsil located in the ruminants and pigs?
Close to the enterance to auiditory tube
Describe the pharyngeal divertculum in pigs
It is a pounch-like structure that extends from the root of the nasopharynx
T/F the diverticulum causes no problems in pigs
False - can cause probs with tubing piglets as can interfere with passage of trachea so you end up putting it in there rather than oesophagus. Can also just cause genral trama esp tracha trauma if entering there
T/F horses are obligate nose breathers
Trueeee
What does chnages in volume of air between quiet breathing and increased resp depend on?
- dilation of nostrils
- reduced blood supply to nasal mucosa
- full abduction of glottis
- extension of head and neck
- action og abdominla viscera against diaphragm
What role do the nasal cartilidges have in forced breathing?
The pivot to dilate nostrils
T/F the nsal vestibule does not communicate directly with nasal cavity in the horse
True
