Respiration Flashcards
Upper respiratory tract includes
Frontal sinus; nasal cavity and pharynx
Lower respiratory track includes
Larynx; Trachea; bronchi; lungs
Conduction portion of the respiratory system define where
no gas exchange; Nose to Terminal bronchioles
Respiratory portion
Respiratory bronchioles to alveoli; where gas exchange occurs
Nose made from 3)
Cartilage; nasal bones and nostrils(opening)
Nasal cavity Tissue
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar with goblet cells
Nasal Cavity contains(6)
1) Vestibule (entrance) 2) olfactory rec(smell) 3) nasal septum 4) 3 concha ( sup; mid ; inf) 5) meatuses 6) paranasal sinuses
Meatuses are formed from
Concha 3 of them sup/mid/inf
3 Parts of Pharynx top to bot
1) nasopharynx 2) Oropharynx 3) Laryngopharynx
Nasopharynx Loc/Tis
Upper Pharynx; pseudostratified ciliated columnar (no oral)
Oropharynx Loc/Tis
Middle Pharynx; Non keratinized stratified squamous
Laryngopharynx
Bottom Pharynx; Non keratinized stratified squamous
Why I the pharynx made from mostly Non keratinized squamous tissue
Lots of layer so food cant cause tears
Larynx different tissues (2)
1)Superior: Non keratinized; strat; squam. 2)Inferior: pseudostratified; ciliated; columnar
Parts of the Larynx (4)
Thyroid cartilage 2) Cricoid cartilage 3) Epiglottis 4) Arytenoid cartilage
Thyroid cartilage loc and marking
Hyaline cartilage; on large front of larynx has Laryngeal prominence
Laryngeal prominence
Adams apple on thyroid cartilage
Cricoid Cartilage
Hyaline ; ring shaped on larynx(bigger in the back)
Epiglottis
Elastic Cartilage; Prevents food from entering inferior larynx
Arytenoid Cartilage
Above cricoid on back two bumps that attach to vocal cord (can move to change tension)
2 Ligaments of the Larynx
1) Vocal ligaments; inferior; form true vocal cords 2) Vestibular ligaments ; superior; false vocal cords
Vocal cords can close and open aka
Adduct or abduct(open)
