Physiology 1 Flashcards
respiratory functions of RS (4)
- Filter warm and humidify air
- moves air to and from exchange surfaces
- provides gas exchange surface area between air and blood
- protect respiratory surfaces
non respiratory function of RS (6)
- Enhance venous return
- maintain acid base balance
- enable speech and other vocalization
- defense
- inactivate, activate, modify and remove materials passing through pulmonary circulation
- organ of smell
two main processes of respiration
inhalation and exhalation
both CVS and RS are involved
true
co2 and o2 transported by blood
true
from where to where is respiratory tract
nose to bronchi
what is the primary organ of respiration
lungs
from where to where lung extends
clavicle to diaphragm
apex of lung above clavicle
true
lobes are divided into bronchopulmonary segments
true
lobes of right and left name and number
right 3 sup, middle, inferior
left 2 sup , inf
left lung is smaller and narrower
true
what is pleura
serous membrane sacs surrounding lungs
what does visceral pleura cover
outer surface of lungs
what does parietal pleura cover
inner surface of thoracic wall
extends over diaphragm and mediastinum
what is pleural fluid
mucoid fluid between pleural layers made of ISF and protein
functions of pleural fluid
lubrication and pleural pressure
why is pleural pressure always negative
due to suction of excess fluid into lymphatic channels
what is pneumothorax
puncture in pleura so pleural pressure equals atmospheric so lungs collapse
two blood circulations in lungs and role of each
pulmonary circulation ; convey venous blood to lungs then oxygenated blood recieved by left side
bronchial circulation ; deliver oxygenated blood by bronchial artery from systemic circulation to tracheobronchial tree
nose lined by
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
function of cilia in respiratory epithelium
warm, filter and defense
nose composed of
dorsum of nose , nasal cartilage and nostrils / nares
pharynx shared by what two systems
RS and GI
oropharynx lined by
stratified squamous
what part of pharynx extend from base of tongue to esophagus
laryngopharynx
flood and air separated where
laryngopharynx
function of URT
filter, warm , humidify , protect and reabsorbs heat and water from expired air
from where to where lower RS
larynx to tertiary bronchioles
what is larynx made of
cartilagenous tube
Epiglottis, thyroid / adam , cricoid
