Q

Thyroid cartilage
(Adam’s Apple)

A

Middle portion of larynx
Shield
Hyaline cartilage
Surrounds vocal chords

23
Q

Cricoid cartilage

A

Bottom portion of the larynx
Hyaline cartilage
Connects larynx to the trachea

24
Q

Trachea

A

Connection btw larynx and bronchial tree
Ciliates pseudostratified columnar epithelium
C-shaped cartilage rings give support

25
Bronchial tree
Network of highly branched air tubes Top three -Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium - supported by cartilage Bottom three - Ciliated stratified cuboidal epithelium - supported by muscle
26
Structures of the bronchial tree
Main bronchi Lobar bronchi Segmental bronchi Bronchioles Terminal bronchioles Respiratory bronchioles
27
Main bronchi
Largest Right and left that go to each lung
28
Lobar bronchi
Main bronchi split into each lobe
29
Segmental bronchi
Branches off of the lobar bronchi
30
Bronchioles
Continuation of the segmental bronchi Transition in tissue Transition from skeletal muscle to smooth muscle
31
Terminal bronchioles
Branches off of the bronchioles Cilia No more mucus
32
Respiratory bronchioles
Start to lose smooth muscle and cilia
33
Alveoli
Air sacs on the respiratory branches and alveolar ducts Main site of gas exchange Types of cells Type 1: squamous Type 2: great Type 3: alveolar macrophages
34
Type1: squamous Alveoli cells
Gas exchange
35
Type2: great Alveoli cells
Produce surfactant Prevents alveoli from sticking to themselves and helps them reinflate
36
Type3: alveolar macrophages Alveoli cells
White blood cells Clean dust and bacteria from alveoli
37
Lung lobes
Right- three lobes Left- two lobes
38
Plurae
Serious membrane that surrounds lungs and lines the thoracic cavity Reduces friction Creates pressure gradient Prevent infections from spreading Three layers: - parietal - visceral - pleural cavity
39
Visceral pleura
Surrounds the lungs
40
Parietal pleura
Lines the thoracic cavity
41
Pleural cavity
Space between parietal and visceral pleura Has serous fluid
42
Types of pressure
Atmospheric Partial
43
Atmospheric pressure
Force exerted on surfaces by molecules of air TAP= combined pressure of each component in air
44
Atmospheric pressure at sea level
760mmHg
45
Partial pressure
Pressure of each specific component in air
46
Composition of air
78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% carbon dioxide Trace amounts of other elements and water vapor
47
Steps of inhalation
Muscles contract Thoracic cavity volume increases Pressure in lungs decreases to 756mmHg Air is forced into lungs
48
Steps of expiration
Muscles relax Thoracic cavity volume decreases Pressure in lungs increases to 763mmHg Air is forced out
49
Respiration centers in the medulla oblongata
Central respiratory group- sets the rhythm of breathing Dorsal respiratory group- adapts to varying conditions
50
Respiratory center in the pons
Pneumotaxic center- regulates the between inhalation and expiration in quiet breathing
51
Oxygen transport
Hemoglobin in red blood cells Dissolved gas in plasma
52
Carbon dioxide transport
Bicarbonate ion (HCO3) Hemoglobin Dissolved gas in plasma
53
Bicarbonate transport of carbon dioxide
-CO2 enters the blood and combines with water to form carbonic acid - this dissociates and becomes bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions - the bicarbonate in transported to the lungs where it combines with hydrogen to become carbonic acid - this dissociates into carbon dioxide and water - the carbon dioxide is exhaled and the water remains in the plasma
