respiratory and integumentary system final Flashcards
clara cells
used in gas exchange, exist in terminal bronchioles. contain secretory granules
secretory granules of clara cells?
surface active agent lipoprotein to prevent luminal adhesion and CC16 to protect against lung injury
what increases in numbers along bronchioles?
clara cells
conducting bronchi
where air is conditioned (warmed) and directed through nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and lungs
respiratory bronchioles
first part allows for gas exchange. in both conduction and gas exchange, and contain clara cells
blood air barrier
in alveolar septum, allows for gas exchange. consists of type 1 alveolar cells, fused basal laminae, and capillary endothelial cells
type 1 alveolar cells fuse with what?
endothelium (endothelial cells of capillaries)
larynx vocalis muscle
skeletal muscle attached to ligament. tension on ligament caused by muscle produces sounds
surfactant
secreted by type II alveolar cells. surface active agent of lipoproteins and phospholipids, spreads over entire alveolar surface. decreases surface tension and prevents collapse. FORMS FILM
trachea functions
conduction and conditioning of air
function of trachealis muscle?
control luminal diameter of trachea to control air intake and allow for passage of swallowed bolus of food by esophagus
stratum lucidum
in thick skin, thick layer. attaches to skin.
meissner’s corpuscle function?
fine touch
pilosebaceous gland?
unit made of hair bulb, hair follicle, and arrector pili muscle
holocrine secretion?
mechanism of subcutaneous glands
