What are the functions of pharynx?

A

Common pathway for digestive and respiratory tracts, pathway to get air towards lungs and food towards stomach, phonation (making sound).

57
Q

A

It has smooth muscle and we can change the shape of the pharynx which affects bowel sounds.

58
Q

What is the larynx also known as?

  1. 3 paired and 3 unpaired (biggest).
60
Q

What are the 3 unpaired cartilages of the larynx?

A

Thyroid, cricoid, epiglottis ( moves when u swallow)

61
Q

What are the three paired cartilages of the larynx?

A

Arytenoid, corniculate, and cuneiform.

62
Q

Intrinsic muscle of larynx

A

Origin and insertion in larynx involved with tightening vocal folds and moving them out of the way

63
Q

Extrinsic muscle of larynx

A

Origin outside larynx on hyoid bone. Insertion on larynx. Elevates whole larynx when swallowing which causes epiglottis to flip over and cover entrance into the larynx.

64
Q

What happens when talking with mouth full?

A

Epiglottis may not cover glottis before stuff gets in resulting in aspiration.

65
Q

What does the larynx do for you?

A

Involved in phonation and articulation.

66
Q

Where does tone come from

A

Paranasal sinuses

67
Q

What are the functions of larynx?

A

Voice production, involved in warming, filtering, and humidifying incoming air, and protect entrance.

68
Q

What is the trachea?

A

A 4 1/2 inch long tube. One end connects to larynx, and inferior end branches into primary bronchi, one for each lung. Diameter 2.5 cm

69
Q

Why does wall of trachea need support?

A

We change pressure around trache
A to cause air to move in or to cause air to move out.

70
Q

What is in the wall of trachea that helps support it?

A

C shaped rings

71
Q

Why is there an opening in the posterior side of trachea?

A

When swallowing, esophagus can expand to the trachea.

72
Q

What is the trachea lined with?

A

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells.

73
Q

What is the trachealis

A

It’s smooth muscle that can be used to constrict the trachea.

74
Q

Function of trachea

A

Warming, humidifying, filtering income air. Passageway to get air to and from the lungs.

75
Q

What does each lung have?

A

A primary bronchus (pleural:bronchi)

76
Q

What is carina?

A

The bottom part of trachea where it branches.

77
Q

Right bronchus difference than left

A

Bigger in diameter and is closer to vertical than left due to right lung bigger than left.

78
Q

Does the cartilage rings close?

A

No

79
Q

What does the primary bronchi branch to?

A

Secondary bronchi

80
Q

What is the primary bronchus main airway of?

A

Main airway of a whole lung

81
Q

What is the secondary bronchus main airway of?

A

Main airway of a lobe of a lung

82
Q

How many secondary bronchi in right lung?

A

3

83
Q

How many secondary bronchi in left lung?

A

2.

84
Q

Where does secondary bronchi branch off to?

A

Tertiary bronchi

85
Q

What are bronchioles?

A

Respiratory equivalent of arterioles. Do not have cartilage, some smooth muscle in the wall.

86
Q

Terminal bronchioles

A

The last level of bronchiole that is not involved in gas exchange.

87
Q

Where is the first place in lung where we get gas exchange?

A

Respiratory bronchioles.

88
Q

How to have a wall of the airway thin enough?

A

Lining that is simple squamous and no muscle Bc it makes wall too thick for gas exchange to be efficient.

89
Q

What is after respiratory bronchiole?

A

A tube called alveolar duct where gas exchange can happen.

90
Q

What is after alevolar duct?

A

Alveoli which are collections of sacs

91
Q

What can be involved in gas exchange?

A

Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli

92
Q

What is alveolus made up of?

A

Alveolar cell or type 1 neumocyte which are simple squamous epithelial cells. Type 2 neumocyte or type 2 alveolar cell which are cuboidal.

93
Q

What are type 1 alveolar cell?

A

Type of alveolar cell that gas exchange is taking place through

94
Q

What is the 2 alveolar cells?

A

Makes surfactant

95
Q

What happens once we get to the alveoli?

A

The water that we put in air to keep it humidify so it doesn’t damage cell, can accumulate on the inside of the alveolus.

96
Q

What happens when water is attracted to each other?

A

Surface tension

97
Q

What happens when surface tension is created by water in alveolus

A

Very thin water in alveolus is trying to decrease the size of the alveolus which is bad bc if it reduces surface area.

98
Q

What does the type 2 alveolar cells do to help with surface tension?

A

Secretes something that is lipid like on the surface of water inside alveolus.

99
Q

What happens when there is surface tension with alveolus?

A

Water pulls alveolus in, type 2 cell puts surfactant on top of water layer, as we pull the wall of alveolus in, it compresses the the surfactant which pushes back.

100
Q

What is the function of an alveolus?

A

Gas exchange.

101
Q

113
Q

Why does the visceral pleura sticks to the surface of the lung?

A

114
Q

What is in between the pleural space and parietal pleura

A

Pleural fluid

115

116
Q

What are the function of lung?

A

Gas exchange, air distribution,

117
Q

What happens when fluid gets into pericardium?
