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
Has Cartilaginous structure
Larynx
Regulates the flow of air into the lungs
Larynx
The Larynx Structure can produce voice through passage of air through the?
Rima
Also known as the “Wind pipe”
Trachea
A Membranous and Cartilaginous tube
Trachea
Are tubes that connects the trachea to the different
lung lobes
Bronchi
Serves as the ventilation of the body
Lungs
Paired structure, that occupies the greater portion of thoracic cavity.
Lungs
What are the four Important Cavities IN the HEAD
- Cranial Cavity
- Orbital Cavity
- Nasal Cavity
- Oral Cavity
A cylindrical passage enclosed by all the bones of the face.
Nasal Cavity
What are the boundaries of the Nasal Cavity
Bounded dorsally by: Nasal bone
Bounded laterally by: Pre-maxilla and Maxilla
Bounded ventrally by: Palatine bone
Bounded rostrally by: Anterior Nares or Nostril
Bounded caudally by: posterior nares or choanae
It divides the nasal cavity into left and right compartments.
Vomer
Scroll of bones present inside the nasal cavity.
Turbinates or conchae
What are the compartments of the Conchae?
Dorsal Nasal Conchae and Ventral/Inferior Nasal Conchae
Dorsal/Superior Nasal Conchae – also known as
Ethmoid Turbinates.
Ventral/Inferior Nasal Conchae – also known as
Maxilla Turbinates
Between concha/turbinates there are airspaces technically
termed as
Meatuses.
What are the meatuses that are present in the nasal cavity
Superior, Middle, Inferior and Common Nasal Meatus
This is the meatus upper to dorsal nasal conchae.
Superior Nasal Meatus
This is the meatus between the dorsal and ventral nasal conchae
Middle Nasal Meatus
This is the meatus below the ventral nasal conchae
Inferior Nasal Meatus
This is the meatus that is the only direct passage between the nostril and pharynx
Inferior Nasal Meatus
This is the meatus below the dorsal and ventral conchae and Vomer and continuous with the other 3 meatuses
Common Nasal Meatus
is the inflammation of the mucosa or the lining of
the nasal cavity not the cavity itself.
Rhinitis
What are the three apertures of the Pharynx
Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, Laryngopharynx
The aperture of the pharynx that opens into the nasal cavity dorsally
Nasopharynx
The aperture of the pharynx that opens into the oral cavity
Oropharynx
The aperture of the pharynx that opens into he larynx and esophagus down below.
Laryngopharynx
Where the 3 apertures merges and is the common passage for food, water, and air.
Pharyngeal Proper
it is a cartilaginous structure and valvular apparatus situated between pharynx and trachea.
Larynx
