respiratory Flashcards
respiration def
exchange of gases between atmosphere, blood, cells
pulmonary ventilation def
Exchange of air between atmosphere and lungs (breathing)
Cellular respiration
Metabolism in cells, making atp
functions of the respiratory system
-provides gas exchange and air movement (intake of O2 and elimination of CO2)
-Regulates and maintains body and blood ph
-Contains receptors for sense of smells
-procedures sound and speech (vocalizations)
-Filters air/ also warms, moistens the air
-Excretes H2O and heat
in order the organs in which air will pass through
nose/mouth-pharynx-larynx-trachea-bronchi-bronchioles-alveolar duct- alveoli
function of the diaphram?
muscles that power breathing,
separated by thoracic and abdominal cavities
nasopharynx
behind nose, purely respirations
oropharynx
behind mouth passage way for food and air
Laryngopharynx
opens into larynx and esophagus, respiratory and digestive
Anatomical features of larynx
epiglottis
glottis
thyroid cartilage
cricoid cartilage
hyoid bone
false/true vocal cords
epiglottis
epiglottis cartilage, covers the glottis
Glottis
true vocal cords and opening leading to the trachea
Thyroid Cartilage
Adams apple
Cricoid carilage
Attaches the larynx to the trachea
Hyoid bone
Superior to Larynx
