Q

Thyroid Cartilage

A

Anterior shield-like plate (Adam’s Apple)

20
Q

Cricoid Cartilage

A

Inferior Plate to thyroid cartilage

21
Q

Epiglottis

A

Flap of cartilage that closes when you swallow to prevent aspiration

22
Q

3 Unpaired Cartilages

A

Thyroid Cartilage, Cricoid Cartilage, and the Epiglottis

23
Q

Three paired catilages

A

Cuneiform, Arytenoid, and the corniculates

24
Q

Cuneiform

A

Sticks of cartilage in front of the arytenoid

25
Q

Arytenoid

A

Behind Thyroid Cartilage
Attached with ligaments

26
Q

Corniculate

A

“Candy Corn” piece ont top of arytenoid

27
Q

Vestibular Folds

A
  • Superior
  • Shuts to hold breath
  • Prevents matter from entering the glottis
28
Q

Vocal Folds

A
  • Inferior
  • Produce Sound
  • Pitch = Tension
  • Volume is dependent on airflow

Higher Pitch = Higher Tension

29
Q

Glottis

A

Opening Between the Folds

30
Q

Trachea

Is lined with

A
  • Psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
  • 16-20 C Shaped Cartilages (Keeps Airway Open)
31
Q

Heirarchy of the Lower Respiratory Tract

A

Primary Bronchus→Secondary Bronchus→Tertiary Bronchus→Bronchioles→Terminal Bronchioles→Respiratory Bronchioles→Alveolar Duct→Alveoli

32
Q

Pathway of Air

A

External Nares→Nasal Cavity→Internal Nares→Nasopharynx→Oropharynx→Laryngopharynx→Larynx→Trachea→Primary Bronchioles→Secondary Bronchus→Tertiary Bronchus→Bronchioles→Terminal Bronchioles→Respiratory Bronchioles→Alveolar Duct→Alveoli Sacs→Capillary Beds of Lungs

32
Q

Air

A

Travels from High to low pressure areas

32
Q

Increase in the size of Thoracic Cage

A

Pressure Drops
Air Rushes In

33
Q

Compressing the Thoracic Cage

A

Pressure Increases
Air rushes out

34
Q

Tidal Volume

A

Amount of air inspired/expired during normal/quiet breathing

35
Q

Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)

A

Amount of air that can be forcibly inspired after normal insipiration

Males - 3200 ml
Females - 1900 ml

36
Q

Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)

A

Amount of air that can be focibly expired after normal expiration

Typically 1100 ml

37
Q

Vital Capacity (VC)

A

Amount of Usable Lung volume
TV+IRV+ERV=VC

Males - 4800
Females - 3400

38
Q

Residual Volume (RV)

A

Amount of air always in the lungs

Males - 1200 ml
Females - 1100 ml

39
Q

Total Lung Capacity (TLC)

A

Total volume of lungs
IRV+ERV+TV+RV=TLC
VC + RV = TLC

Males - 6000 ml
Females - 4500 ml

40
Q

Forced Expiratory Reserve Volume

A

Measure of how much air you can push out in one second

41
Q

Primary Stimulus to take a breath

A

CO2 levels

42
Q

How does CO2 affect blood pH

A

Increased CO2 - Decreased pH - Respiratory Acidosis
Decreased CO2 - Increased pH - Respiratory Alkalosis

43
Q

Two Factors that prevent your lung from collapsing

A

Surfacant and Elastic Fibers
