RESPIRATORY Flashcards
atmospheric air of lungs to blood
External
gases from blood to cell
Internal
the movement of the air into and out of
the lungs
Ventilation
Diffusion of gases across the cell
membrane
Respiration
Delivers oxygen to make ATP, ATP
get rids of toxic
Cellular Respiration
too much CO2
Acidic
too much O2
Alkalotic
Normal pH
7.35 – 7.45
Normal PaCO2
45-35
Normal HCO3
22-26
sinus can influence voice
Voice production
under cranial nerve I
Olfaction
covers all the mucus membrane
Protection
nasal down to the larynx
Upper respiratory tract
the one that is a visible structure &
composed of hyalin cartilage
External nose
nostrils
Nares
exterior opening to the pharynx
Choanae
separates the oral cavity & supported
by bone
Hard palate
increase the surface area of the mucosa
exposed to the air
Conchae
drain tears from the eyes & empty into the nasal cavities
Nasolacrimal duct
warms the air as it flows
Nasal cavity is lined with
respiratory mucosa
destroy bacteria
▪ Paranasal sinuses (maxillary, sphenoid,
ethmoid, frontal)
Lysozyme enzymes in the
mucus
muscular passageway about 13 cm
(5 inches)
Pharynx (throat)
superior portion from the pharynx
to the uvula
Nasopharynx
middle portion of the pharynx & the
superior of the larynx
Oropharynx
softer portion of the root of the mouth
Soft palate
behind the soft palate; can be felt
by the tongue
Hard palate
valve that closes the
nasopharynx off when you eat to prevent food from going up to the nasopharynx
Soft palate + uvula
covers superior larynx, epiglottis, esophagus
Laryngopharynx
acts like a lid that seals the airway off
when you’re eating
Epiglottis
also known as the voice box
Larynx
shield cartilage, Adam’s apple, both women and men have it
Thyroid cartilage
single piece cartilage, wherein the rest of the cartilage rest and lies
Cricoid cartilage
found in the superior boarded of the posterior cartilage, provides articulation
Arytenoid cartilage
contains the mucus membrane anterior to the corniculate cartilage
Cuneiform cartilage-
in between the cuneiform and arytenoid cartilage
Corniculate cartilage
houses the thyroid hormones
Parathyroid glands
