Upper respiratory system
Nasal cavity
Pharynx
Lower Respiratory System
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchi
Lungs
respiratory system can be divied
Can be organized physiologically and anatomically
Dead Space
volume you bring into the lungs that can not be accessed by conducting zone
Nose external portion
two notstrils
bone
cartilage
internal membrane covered with skin
Internal portion
nasal cavities (two divided by nasal septum)
containing thre bony shelves
conect external openings to the throat
movement of air is from
nostril to the nasal cavity to the nasopharynx to the pharynx (inhalation) and vice versa (exhalation)
Nasal Function
warm
humidify
filter
passageway for exiting air (nasal conchae)
olfactory mucosal cells
specialized mucus membrane in superior chonchae
The Pharynx
three segments
Nasopharynx (A)
Oropharynx (B)
Laryngopharynx (B)
The Pharynx
anatomical structure with dual function
Passageway for
- food traveling from the oral cavity to the esophagus
- air traveling between nasal (or oral) cavity to the larynx
where food and air mix
Nasopharynx cell type
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Oropharynx
laryngopharynx
cell types
stratified squamous epithelium
