25
How long is the Pharynx?
12-14cm
26
The pharynx extends from...
Base of skull to C6
27
Where does Pharynx lie?
Behind the nose, mouth and larynx is wider at its upper end.
28
What three parts is the pharynx divided into?
Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, Laryngopharynx.
29
What is the oropharynx lined with?
Stratified squamous epithelium.
30
Functions of the pharynx
Passageway for air and food. Warms and humidified. Taste and hearing, protection and speech.
31
What are the four parts of the Larynx?
Hyoid bone, Thyroid cartilage, Notch and Cricoid cartridge, cricoid membrane.
32
Larynx is larger in...
Males.
33
Larynx is also known as the...
voice box.
34
What does the larynx contain?
The vocal cords.
35
What does the larynx work in conjunction with?
Epiglottis.
36
The trachea is a continuation of the...
Larynx
37
The trachea is how long
10-11cm
38
Where does the trachea extend to
5th thoracic vertebre
39
the trachea divides into the
Brochai (left and right)
40
The trachea has cartilage in what shape
C shape
41
Why is the cartilidge in trachea a c shape?
The oesopharynx (food pipe) needs room to expand.
42
The trachea is lined with
Ciliated columnar epithelium and mucus secreting goblet cells.
43
true or false? The right brochus is wider, shorter and more verticle than the left.
True
44
Smaller cartilidge in bronchai allows for expantion of lungs
true
45
brochais are divided into
Primary, secondary and tertiary
46
The lungs are midial or lateral to midline
lateral
47
lungs are in which carvity
thoratic
48
lung apex lies close to...
first rib
49
How many lobes are in the right lung
3
50
The left lung has how many lobes
2 and a cardiac notch
51
In the bronchioles the cartilidge is replaced by...
smooth muscle
52
In the bronchioles the ciliated epithelium is replaced by...
non-ciliated columnar epithelium and goblet cells disappear.
53
What regulates air movement into lungs?
Contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle.
54
In terminal bronchioles there is less and less
Muscle
55
Terminal bronchioles are eventually replaced by...
Simple squamous epithelium- the alveoli
56
Alveoli are one cell thick to allow for...
gas exchange
57
The alveoli have elastic fibres and
capilaries
58
What is external respiration?
O2 from atmosphere into lungs to blood. CO2 goes from blood to lungs then to atmosphere.
59
What is internal respiration?
Oxygen from blood goes into tissues and waste products go from tissue to blood.
60
Boyles law
The pressure of a gas in a closed container is inversely proportional to the volume of a container.
61
Diffusion allows the movement of substance such as O2 and CO2 across a semipermeable membrane from a region of...
high concentration to lower concentration.
62
What is a shunt?
Where deoxygenated blood meets oxygenated.
63
