Q

What are the functions of nose?

A
  1. provides an airway for respiration
  2. moistens and warms entering air
  3. filters and cleans inspired air
  4. serves as a resonating chamber for speech
  5. houses the olfactory (smell) receptors

Q

When foreign substances (e.g. dust particles) enters the nasal cavity, the
sensory receptors will be stimulated, thus, action potential are made.

Approximately 13cm in length extending from the base of the skull to the sixth vertebrae.
Also known as “throat”

16
Q

Few air passes through to prevent too much gas contents to the digestive tract

A

Laryngopharynx

17
Q

Exposure to bright lights (e.g. sunlight) can make pupils constrict. When
pupils constrict, nasal membranes can be stimulated. If this happens, sensory
receptors will be stimulated as well.

A

Photic Sneeze Reflex (Autosomal-Dominant Compelling Helio Ophthalmic
Outburst)

18
Q

Extends from uvula to epiglottis to oral cavity

A

Oropharynx

19
Q
  • Air passageway only
    During swallowing, uvula and soft palate runs superiorly which closes the
    nasopharynx and prevents food from coming inside
A

. Nasopharynx

20
Q

Has cartilage rings to help protect and support trachea from collapsing despite of the
pressure changes inside.

A

Connective Tissue

21
Q

This is part prevents food from entering the larynx.

A

Epiglottis

22
Q

Located in the anterior throat and it connects superiorly to the pharynx and
inferiorly to the trachea.

A

LARYNX

23
Q

What are the 3 Unpaired Cartilage of Larynx

A

Thyroid Cartilage
Cricoid Cartilage
Epiglottis

24
Q

What are the 3 Paired Cartilage of Larynx

A
  1. Cuneiform
  2. Corniculate
  3. Arytenoid
25
Q

Descends from the larynx through the neck and into the mediastinum.

A

TRACHEA

26
Q

is lined with pseudostratified columnar which is made up of cilia and goblet
cells (produces mucus).

A

trachea

27
Q

Action potential will be carried by the sensory neurons to the vagus nerve and
medulla oblongata. From there, action potential will be processed.

A

Cough Reflex

28
Q

is produced by the pleural membranes that functions to act as a lubricant
and to help hold the pleural membrane together.

A

Pleural fluid

29
Q

Process of measuring volumes of air that moves into and out of the respiratory tract.

A

SPIROMETRY

30
Q

Process of moving air into and out of the lungs.

A

VENTILATION

31
Q

tendency for an expanded lung to decrease in size.

A

Lung Recoil

32
Q

What are reason why Lungs decrease in size.

A

Connective tissue of lungs is made up of elastic fibers
2. Alveoli has surface tension (elastic property of fluid surface wherein water
molecules are attracted to each other. Since there is surface tension in the alveoli,
water molecules compressed, so as alveoli – recoil)

33
Q

– amount of air movement during different portions of

ventilation

A

o Respiratory/Pulmonary Volume

34
Q

– sum/combination of two or more respiratory

volume

A

Respiratory/Pulmonary Capacity
