Part 7: Respiratory system Flashcards
Functions of respir. system
-Exchange of gas between the atmosphere and the blood
-Filtration, temperature regulation & humidification of inspired air
-Olfaction - sense of smell
-Production of sound
label parts of system
blue: nasal cavity
purple: nose
orange: larynx
yellow: trachea
black: smaller airways
grey: diaphragm
green: lungs
red: pharynx
upper division of respiratory system function & infection
-filtering and warming air
-cold
lower division of respiratory system function & infection
-filtering, respiratory action
-pneumonia bronchitis
upper RS and lower RS separated by ____
larynx
Two functional portions of RS
-conducting portion -brings air in/out of lungs
-respiratory portion - where gas exchange happens
label upper RS
blue: external nares
green: nasal vestibule (can pinch)
yellow: conchae (bony shells covered in mucosa)
red: internal nares (end of nasal cavity)
black: nasopharynx
grey: eustachian tube - connected to middle ear (air filled chamber)
orange: oropharynx
purple: epiglottis
pink: laryngopharynx
conchae (aka ____) increase ____
turbinate
SA to warm the air
hard palate separates ____
nasal and oral cavities
swallowing mechanism
1) tongue pushes bolus against hard palate
2) tongue pushes bolus backwards into soft palate
3) bolus is in oropharynx
4) larynx moves up closing epiglottis
label
1) hard palate
2) soft palate
3) tongue
4) bolus
5) epiglottis
6) larynx
7) trachea
this is the ____ : the site where _____
root (hilum) of the lung
blood vessels, lymphatics, nerves & airways enter and leave lungs
label lateral view of lungs
red: apex
green: horizontal fissure
blue: oblique fissure
purple: base
grey: superior
black: inferior lobe - on the posterior side
yellow: middle
orange: cardiac notch
pink: lingula
each lobe in lung is ___
almost completely separate
label medial view
blue: hilum
yellow: superior
green: middle
grey: inferior
black: horizontal fissure
red: oblique fissure
orange: cardiac impression ( + aortic impression around hilum)
pleura of lungs are a ___ membrane + function
serous membrane (split into left and right pleura cavity)
reduces friction during respiration
label pleura + function
red- parietal pleura: covers inside of body wall (ribs + diaphragm included)
blue - visceral pleura: covers lungs
space between pleura is _____
intrapleural space (has serous fluid)
the pleural recesses are ____ that provide _____
-parts of the pleura that extend past lungs
-additional space for the lungs to expand during forced inspiration
pleura folds ____
in on itself to create two layers
label major airways
blue: trachea
red: primary bronchi
yellow: secondary & tertiary bronchi
green: bronchioles
purple: terminal bronchioles (last part of conducting portion of RS)
this is the distinguishing feature of conducting RS
cartilage rings
