RESPIRATORY Flashcards
what is the exchange of gases between the atmosphere, blood & cells
Respiration
3 processes required for respiration
Ventilation
pulmonary respiration
internal respiration
the cardiovascular system helps respiratory system by
transporting gases
parts of upper respiratory system
Nose
Pharynx
Larynx
parts of lower respiratory system
Trachea
Bronchi
Lungs - alveoli
2 zones of respiratory system
Conducting & respiratory zones
involves warming of air, filtering & humidifying air
Conducting zones
involves in exchange of gases
Respiratory zones
organ parts of conducting zones
trachea
bronchi
bronchioles
organ parts of respiratory zones
respiratory bronchioles (smallest airway)
alveolar ducts (connects bronchioles to sacs)
alveolar sacs (gas exchanges)
there is exchange of gases in the upper respiratory system. (T/F)
FALSE. It only occurs in the lower respiratory system
Which lung is larger, higher & has 3 lobes
R. Lung
which lung has a notch for the heart
L. lung
which bronchi is wider, shorter & vertical
R. bronchi
prevents entry of food in the throat
epiglottis
what part of the lungs in where the exchange of gasses occur
Alveoli
Where does the air enter through the nose?
nostrils
filter & humidify air
Nasal Conchae
Surface anatomy of nose
Root
Bridge
Apex
External naris
increases air turbulence within the nasal cavity
conchae
Paranasal sinuses bones
Frontal
Sphenoid
Ethmoid
Maxillary
they lighten skull ; resonance chambers for speech; produce mucus
Sinuses
3 regions of pharynx
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
common passageways for air and food
Oropharynx & Laryngopharynx
detect pathogens
palatine tonsils
routes air & food into proper channels ; role in speech
Larynx
larynx is made out of
8 hyaline cartilage
