Respiratory Flashcards
The respiratory system is responsible for?
Respiration, Phonation and Olfaction
Sense of smell by the aid of chemoreceptive cells of nasal
epithelium is sent to the brain via what nerve?
Olfactory nerve/ Cranial nerve I
What are the three system division of the respiratory system?
Conductive, Transitional and Gas exchange System
It is the exchange of gases including the oxygen and
carbon dioxide which takes place within the pulmonary
alveoli.
Respiration
It is the voice production
Phonation
voice production it is produced by the
larynx
Olfaction is possible due to the presence of?
chemoreceptive cells of nasal
epithelium.
Division of the Respiratory System: Extending from the nasal cavity up to bronchi
Conductive System
Division of the Respiratory System: With a defense mechanism of Mucous ciliary mechanism
Conductive System
Bronchioles is part of what Division of the Respiratory System
Transitional System
Clara cells are part of what Division of the Respiratory System
Transitional System
Conductive System has this type of Defense Mechanism
Mucous ciliary (MC) mechanism
Transitional System has this type of Defense Mechanism
Clara Cells
This Division of the Respiratory System Refers to the microscopic pulmonary alveoli
Gas exchange System
Gas exchange System has this type of Defense Mechanism
Alveolar macrophages,
Intravascular macrophages, Interstitial macrophages.
This inhibit salivation prior to surgery, pre anesthetic
agent.
Atropine
Upper and middle respiratory passage is lined by
Pseudostratified ciliated (kinocilia) columnar epithelium
(non-keratinized)
What are the Six Segments of Respiratory tract
Nasal Cavity, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs
Opens externally at the nostril/external nares.
Nasal Cavity
Communicates behind through posterior nares.
Nasal Cavity
Serves as the site for the entrance of air from the external
environment.
Nasal Cavity
Filters the air by the aid of ciliated epithelium, which
filters the dirt and microorganism that goes to the nasal cavity.
Nasal Cavity
Serves as common passageway for digestive and respiratory tracts alternatively,
Pharynx
Voice box organ
Larynx
