Resp Lecture 1 Flashcards
Turbinates / conchae
Are ?
Three bones in your nasal cavity that act to increased the sa and mix air
Take part in cleaning warming and humidifier or the air
Superior = smallest
Middle
Inferior= largest
Epithelium in the upper respiratory/ conduction zone
Epithelium โ pseudostratified ciliated columnar
What is the mucociliary escalator and what dose it do
- moves dirt and germs out
- mucus that sits on top of cells moved by cilia
- cleans and makes moist
Epithelium in bronchioles
Ciliated cuboidal cells + club cells
What are club cells
Cells with no cilla so in lower resp
Cellular respiration
The process where cells creat ATP by breaking down glucose in the presents of O2
Internal (tissue) respiration
The process of gas exchange between blood in systemic capillaries and tissue fluid!
And cells which surround them
External respiration
The process where O2 is absorbed from the outside into blood with in the pulmonary capillaries and CO2 is excreted
What works to Humidify air
Secretions of seromucous gland
Goblin cells
What works to finger air
Vibrissae
cilliated epithelium
What warms air
Rich blood supply under epi
Heat transfer
What warms cleans and makes air wet
Nasal conchae
During swallowing, food:
must pass through the oropharynx as it enters the oesophagus.
Party of air starting at the trachea descending order
- trachea
- main stem/primary bronchus
- lobar/second bronchus
- segmental/teritry bronchus
- bronchioles
- terminal bronchioles (conducting zone ends )
- respiratory bronchiole
- alveolar ducts
- alveolus
- alveolus sacs
Peseudostratified cilliated epithelium - smooth muscle -
Mucous glands - cartilage- alveoli
Bronchus =
Cartilage plates
Mucus cells and glands
c. Which type of airway is most dramatically affected during an asthma attack?
Bronchiole
Relative more smooth muscles
Club cells
Alveolar macrophage role
Phagocytose and remove dust and other particles
Type 2 alveolar cell secretion and role
Surfactant: reduces surface tension, preventing alveolar collapse
starting in the lumen of the alveolus, describe the order of layers that an oxygen molecule must pass through to reach a red blood cell:
- lumen of alveolus
- type 1 pneumocystis cell
- fused basement membrane of type 1 alveolar cell and endothelial cell
- cytoplasm of capillary endothelium
- blood plasma
- blood cell
type 1 pneumocystis cell
Very skinny cell lining of alveolus
The diffusion barrier is approximately how thick?
0.5 ยตm
Why are the right and left lungs slightly different in size and shape?
To accommodate the heart
How many lobes are there in each lung?
3 in the right, 2 in the left
Each lobe is supplied by a โฆโฆ.. bronchi
Secondary
What do primary bronchi supply
Left and right lung
What do terity bronchi supply
The segments of the lobes of the lungs
