Quiz 9 (Respiratory) Flashcards
Bones of the nasal septum
vomer
perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone
hyaline cartilage
nostrils
external nares
opening behind the nasal conchae
internal nares
functions of the nasal conchae
create turbulence
slow air movement
additional time for warming, humidification, and dust removal
Three nasal conchae
superior/middle/inferior conchae
grooves under each of the three nasal conchae
superior/middle/inferior meatuses
Functions of the paranasal sinuses
lighten skull
moisten air
sound resonance
produce mucus
4 paranasal sinuses
maxillary sinuses
frontal sinuses
ethmoid sinuses
sphenoid sinuses
Three regions of the pharynx
nasopharynx
oropharynx
laryngopharnx
structures in the nasopharynx
pharyngeal tonsil
opening of auditory tube
nasopharynx goes from here to here
internal nares to uvula
tissue of the nasopharynx
psudostratfied ciliated columnar epithelium
oropharynx goes from here to here
uvula to epiglottis
tissue of the oropharynx
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
tissue of the of laryngopharynx
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
voice box, from superior edge of thyroid cartilage to inferior edge of cricoid cartilage
larynx
vocal cords (or ligaments)
false vocal cords (vestibular folds)
true vocal cords
superior, no role in sound production, keep food out of the glottis
false vocal cords
play role in sound production, inferior
true vocal cords
narrowed passageway through the larynx
glottis
unpaired cartilage of the larynx
thyroid cartilage
cricoid cartilage
epiglottis
paired cartilage of the larynx
arytenoid cartilage
corniculate cartilage
cuneiform cartilage
middle known as the adams apple, made of hyaline cartilage
thyroid cartilage
inferior to thyroid cartilage, wraps all the way around, hyaline cartilage
cricoid cartilage
covers glottis while swallowing
epiglottis
These two structures are elastic cartilage
epiglottis
cuneiform cartilage
