Respiratory Lecture 4 Flashcards
3 process for respiration:
Ventilation
EXT = Pulmonary (xchg aveoli + blood)
Int = Tissue Respiration (xchg capill + tissue c.)
Function of Resp Sys
Intake of O2, Removal of CO2 Regulate Blood pH Olfaction (nasal cavity receptors for smell) Filters inspired air (nasal hair) Vocal sounds -> Phonation Excretes a bit of water and heat
2 type Categorization of Respiratory Sys
Structurally
Functionally
Upper/Lower respiratory
Conducting zone: Filter, Warm, and Moisten air + Conduct to lungs
Respiratory zone: O2 and CO2 exchg w/ Blood, Smooth muscl.
upper respiratory Anatomy (3)
Lower respiratory (4)
Nose, nasal cavity
Pharynx + Associated struct (paranasla sinus)
Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Pulmo
Choane aka
Respiratory region located in ____ of _____bone
Internal Nares = Posterior opening
Cribiform plate of Ethmoid bone
Pharynx location is
Pahryngeal wall assists in
3 regions
post to Nasal + Oral, sup to Layrnx
Deglutition, tonsils
Nasopharynx, 5 openings (int naris, eustachian)
Oropharynx (soft palate) and Laryngopharnyx (Hyopharynx - esophagus POST + larynx ANT)
Larynx and Trachea
Larynx anatomy
Larynx connects pharynx to trachea (post to Thyroid)
Thyroid cartilage - Adam’s apple
Tracheotomy - Cricoid cartilage
Thyroid membrane - Ligament (connect btw thyroid cartilage to hyoid bone)
Laringeal vestibule (2 components)
Glottis components (2)
cavity of larynx above vestibular fold (False vocal)
Infraglotic cavity (below the vocal folds) - true vocal
True vocal cord + Rima glottis (space btw cords)
Trachea Location: from larynx to ___, divides
Wall layer: Deep to Superficial
SUP border of T5 vert (loc. carina - most sensitive cough reflx), divide to (R) + (L) primary bronchi
Mucosa > Submucosa > Hyaline cartilage connected w/ smooth Mm x elastic to chg diameter > Adventitia (areolar CT)
Branching of bronchial Tree
of lobes per lung
3rd # of segments
Terminal bronchioles is end of ____
Lungs extend from ____ to ____
Trachea -> Prim bronchi -> 2ndry bronchi -> 3ry bronchi -> Bronchioles -> Terminal br.
2 on (L) + 10% smaller, 3 on (R) + Diaphragm higher on right, liver inferior
10 lobules/lung
conducting zone
Diaphragm to slightly superior to clavicle
Hilum is located in the ______surface and contains
Lobules composed of
Mediastinal (MED surface) contains bronchi, blood and lymph
Elastic connective tissue, lymph, arteriole, venule
Alveolar wall aka
Type of cells
respiratory membrane
Type 1: main site of gas xchg, # > Type II
Type 2: secrete alveolar flid, septal cells to reduce tendency to collapse
Dust cells: macrophage
4 layers of respiratory membrane
Type I, II, Macrophages
Epithelial basement membrane - aveolar
Capillary basement membrane (fused to epithelial)
Capillary Endothelium
Ventilation perfusion coupling
Vasoconstriction re: Hypoxia moves blood from poorly ventilated to well ventilated
Inhalation - Lung pressure ____ vs atmopsheric
Mm involved in normal:
Exhalation - Lung pressure ____ vs atmopsheric
Decreased pressure below atmos, Diaphragm pulls down in contraction, EXT intercostal elevates rib
Lung pressure > atmos, diaphragm relax (bounce back to dome shape), EXT intercostal relax + rib drop to force air out
