respiratory Flashcards
1
Q
parts of conductive system
A
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi
2
Q
parts of transitional system
A
terminal bronchioles
3
Q
parts of gas exchange system
A
respiratory bronchioles and alveoli
4
Q
non-specific immune response
A
- mucous trapping
- mucociliary clearance
- phagocytosis
- air turbulence- generated by coughing and sneezing
5
Q
specific immune response
A
- antibody production
- antibody-mediated phagocytosis
- cell- mediated immunity
6
Q
- respiratory region of nasal cavity (largest part)
A
- respiratory portion lined by psuedostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells
- lamina-propria contains tubulo-alveolar glands- mainly serous with lesser numbers of mucous and mixed glands
- conchae turbinates
7
Q
- vestibular region of nasal cavity
A
- initial, external part of nasal cavity
- lined by haired skin and glands
- stratified squamous keratinized epithelium
8
Q
- olfactory region of nasal cavity
A
- lined with olfactory epithelium, lacks goblet cells
- has neurons, supporting cells. basal cells
- along with respiratory region contain venous plexus with swell bodies
9
Q
mucociliary apparatus
A
- pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
- goblet cells– produce mucinogen granules
- movement of cilia removes mucus with trapped airborne inhaled particles such as dust and microorganisms
- cleaning apparatus of upper respiratory passages
10
Q
larynx
A
- includes cartilage, vocal folds, skeletal muscle
- initial part of larynx=stratified squamous epithelium
- after vocal cords changes to pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
11
Q
trachea
A
- lined by ciliated psuedostratified columnar epithelium
- lamina propria and submucosa are clearly not demarcated
- serous glands in lamina propria/submucosa
- cartilagenous rings
- connective tissue adventitia
12
Q
bronchus
A
- ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
- smooth muscle, lamina propria, mixed bronchiole glands
- plates of hyaline cartilage
13
Q
bronchioles
A
- lack cartilage and glands
- terminal
- respiratory
14
Q
terminal bronchioles
A
- lined by ciliated cuboidal cells- few to no goblet cells
- muscularis mucosae
15
Q
club “Clara” cells
A
- in terminal and respiratory bronchioles
- bulge at surface
- secrete surfactant-like substance which aids in maintaining patency of airway
- may have immune function
