Q

functionally ; what is the conducting portion

A
  • it is the tubes that lead from the mouth and nose to the lungs - allows air to move down and allow gas exchange to occur

Q

conducting portion - how to control w pressure changes

A
  • during inhalation and exhalation pressure changes occur in the tubes
  • trachea is held open with rings of cartilage and to prevent their collapse and blockage of the airway the tubes are reinforced with bone
  • which is lined with respiratory mucosa

Q

what is respiratory mucosa made up of

A
  • made up of one layer of columnar cells with cilia on their luminal surface
  • with secretory (goblet) cells are distributed and secrete mucus on the surface

Q

purpose of mucus from nose to respiratory bronchioles

A
  • traps inhaled particles that may be harmful to the lower respiratory tracts
  • the cilia move the material up or backwards into the pharynx - can then be swallowed or spat out

Q

purpose of nose

A
  1. as air is filtered through the nose hairs and as it passes through the nose air twists
  2. air hits the walls of your nose allowing particles to be trapped
  3. cilia cleans the air
  4. air is warmed by blood vessels
  5. and humidified as it is breathed in

Q

structure and role of pharynx

A
  • muscular tube and shared by the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts
  • food a drink exit the pharynx to the oesophagus
  • air exits into the larynx

17
Q

how many lobes does each side of the lungs have

A
  • right lung has three lobes

- left lung has two lobes

18
Q

what are the bronchioles

A

small tubes without cartilage. the smooth muscle regulates air flow into the alveoli

19
Q

name the three parts of the bronchi

A
  • main bronchi
  • lobar bronchi
  • segmental bronchi
20
Q

how many different cell types in the lungs

A
  • 40 different cell types
21
Q

properties of ciliated cells

A
  • around 300 cilia per cell
  • moves mucus at 2cm per minutes
  • beats in one direction
  • if you have a respiratory infection leads to loss of cell activity
  • microvilli helps increase SA of cells
22
Q

properties of mucous goblet cells

A
  • secrete mucus that traps particulate matter

- very little microvilli

23
Q

properties of brush cell

A

columnar epithelial cells with blunt microvilli on surface

24
Q

properties of basal short cell

A
  • replace damaged cells (acts similar to stem cells)

- located at base of epithelium and do not reach lumen

25
Q

properties of small granule cells

A
  • contains granules at base of cells

- thought to have neuroendocrine function

26
Q

properties of clara cells/club cells

A
  • secrete lypoprotein - surface active agent similar to mucus but with different structure
  • progenitor cell acts as a basal type cell
  • xenobiotic metabolism - removing harmful things out the system
27
Q

what are the two types of cells involved in gas exchange

A
  • type 1 cells (pneumocytes)

- type 11 cells

28
Q

what occurs in type 1 cells and structure

A
  • where gas exchange takes place
  • v thin epithelial cells
  • covers 95% of gas exchange surface
  • organelles near nucleus
29
Q

what do type 11 cells do and where are they found

A
  • replace damaged type 1 cells
  • found in corner of alveoli
  • produce a surface active agent
  • acts as a progenitor and xenobiotic metabolism
  • covers 5% of gas exchange surface
30
Q

3 structures of the lungs

A
  • alveolar sac are tiny air sacs
  • alveolar walls are v thin allowing rapid diffusion of oxygen from air to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to air
  • they are formed by pneumocytes and blood capillaries
31
Q

what does smoking do to the alveoli

A
  • breaks down alveoli
  • sa for gas exchange is reduced
  • bigger holes in lungs breaking down lung tissue
32
Q

what does cystic fibrosis affect and how do you get CF

A
  • need to have 2 defective genes inherited
  • affects pancreas and respiratory cells
  • affects fertility
33
Q

what are the lungs separated from the thoracic wall by

A

the pleura

34
Q

name the two types of pleura

what is the space called between the two layers

A
  • parietal pleura (line thoracic cavity - outer layer)
  • visceral pleura (cover the lungs - inner layer)
  • pleural cavity
35
Q

what does the pleura fluid

A
  • lubricant so that the two layers can slide over each other during ventilation
  • acts as an adhesive agent sticking the two layers together
  • when the parietal pleura moves with the thoracic wall , the visceral pleura and therefore lungs follow the movement
36
Q

the thoracic wall is formed by what 4 things

A
  • ribs and sternum
  • intercostal muscles
  • diaphragm
  • accessory muscles
37
Q

what are the two layers on intercostal muscles

A
  • internal

- and external intercostal muscles

38
Q

what is the diaphragm and what does it separate and what is attached to

A
  • thin muscular sheet
  • separates the thorax from the abdomen
  • attached to ; lower ribs, tip of sternum, vertebral column
39
Q

inspiration

A
  • size of chest cavity is increased by the intercostal muscles
  • diaphragm contracts and flattens
  • chest volume increases and pressure reduced so air is drawn in
40
Q

forced ventilation

A
  • homeostatic mechanism to restore body to normal state

- when body needs more oxygen eg after exercise, emotional response

41
Q

what muscles does forced inspiration use

A
  • intercostal muscles and diaphragm to their max
  • accessory muscles may be used
  • total lung volume depends on age, sex, fitness
42
Q

forced expiration what muscles are requires

A
  • intercostal muscles relax

- lungs deflate to normal position
