Pulmonary Flashcards
Internal Respiration
Oxidative Phosphorylation (Cellular Respiration)
External Respiration
Pulmonary Ventilation
Exchange of O2 and CO2
(Between Lungs and Blood)
Transportation in blood
(Between Lungs and Tissue)
Exchange of O2 and CO2
(Between Blood and Body Tissues)
Pulmonary Ventilation (Inspiration vs Expiration)
Inspiration: Air into Lungs
Expiration: Lungs into Air
Relationship between external and internal respiration
1) Air moves between the atmosphere and lungs
2) O2 and CO2 are exchanged between atmosphere and lungs
3) O2 and CO2 are transported in blood and exchanged with tissues
4) O2 and CO2 are exchanged between systemic tissues and blood
5) O2 is used to make ATP and produces CO2
What does Upper Respiratory Consist of
Nose, Nasal Cavity, Paranasal Sinuses, Pharynx
What does Lower Respiratory Consist of
Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs, Bronchioles, Alveoli
Function of Respiratory System
Gas Exchange
Moves Air to and from Lungs
Helps to regulate blood volume/pressure, and body fluid pH
Mucous:
Protects against dehydration/invading
pathogens
Larynx:
Produces sound for communication
Respiratory Epithelium is made up of what?
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Cells
Stratified Squamous Cells
Mucus-Producing Cells
What respiratory epithelium structures are not made up of Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Cells?
Pharynx, Smaller Bronchi, Alveoli
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Cells (Function)
Mucociliary Escalator
Cilia moves mucus in an upward manner to pharynx, allows debris to be coughed out or swallowed
Stratified Squamous Cells are found in what structure? What is their structure?
Pharynx
Nonkeratinized, does not contain keratin
However, it is more thicker than the epithelium
Stratified Squamous Cells (Function)
Provides protection against abrasion
Mucus-Producing Cells are found in what structure?
Nasal Cavity
Lower Respiratory Tract
Mucus-Producing Cells (Function)
Provides mucus so inhaled debris is caught and will not enter the lungs
Function of Vibrissae in Respiratory Defense System
Hairs in the nose block inhaled debris
Function of Mucus and Sneezing in Respiratory Defense System
Nasal Cavity produces mucus which traps inhaled debris
Sneezing removes this debris
Function of Respiratory Epithelium in Respiratory Defense System
Mucus of respiratory epithelium will trap inhaled debris
Coughing will remove this debris
Mucociliary escalator moves debris upward toward pharynx
Pathway of Air
Airs flow in and around the nasal conchae
Air swirls around the conchae
Debris gets stuck in mucus
Air warms and humidifies before entering the trachea
Where does Air enter the respiratory system
Enters the Internal Nares
Enters the Nasopharynx Area
What is the Pharnyx
Passageway that connects the nose to the mouth to the throat
Nasopharynx (Where)
Back of the nose area
Contains pharyngeal opening of auditory tube
Oropharynx (Where)
Back of the mouth area
Consists of pharyngeal arch and uvula
Laryngopharynx (Where)
The area that is the entrance to the trachea and esophagus
Epiglottis
Cartilage of the Larynx (Elastic Cartilage)
Closes over the glottis during swallowing of food. Separates respiratory tract from digestive tract
