Respiratory Notes Flashcards
what direction does the air move
up and out
signs and symptoms of aspiration
watery eyes, cough while eating, temp. abnormal lung sounds
describe the main bronchi
formed by division of trachea
right bronchus is wider, shorter and straighter than left- more common site 4 unhaled objects
*not sure about this_ tachea helps propel mucus away from ….
lungs and throat
what structure is also reffered to as the throat
pharynx
what is the trachea lined with
ciliated mucus that heat continusosly in opposite direction of air
3 things about the lungs
occupy the entire thoracic cavity except for the most central area called the mediastinum
mediastinum, contains heart,blood vessels,bronchi, esophagus
weighs about 2 1/2, spongy and soft
5 things about the nose
only externally visible part
air enters via nostrils
interior, known as nasal cavity
divided by septum
nasal bone is the only bone- everything else is cartilage
Lungs Occupy entire ___ cavity. Except the most central area called the ______.
Lungs Occupy entire THORACIC cavity. Except the most central area called the MEDIASTINUM.
what 2 things do sinuses do?
lighten kkull, resonance chambers 4 speech
produce mucus that drains into nasal cavity
what structure is also known as the voice box
larynx
primary bronchi reffers to what
right and left bronchus together
describe the trachea
aka windpipe
4 in. long
rigid due to c-shaped hyaline
keeps traches open
finish the term…
primary.secondary,tertiary_____
termial ______
primary,secondary,tertiary BRONCHI
terminal BRONCHIOLES
Aspiration Pneumonia
inflamation of lungd and bronchiole tube after inhaling a foreign object
ex:liquid,food,vomit.etc
what percentage of the air is oxygrn
21%
name the 4 sinuses
paranasal
sphenoid
ethmoid
maxillary
2 things about the main bronchi
Formed by division of trachea, right and left
right bronchus is shorter than lefet bronchus and mre common site 4 inhaled forgein objects
side effects of a sinus infection
pain./pressure, bad breath, thick yellow,green,brown,bloody mucus, fever, dizzines
where does the majority of aspirtion pneumonia happen?
Right bronchi b/c its more wider and straighter
what are the 4 main funcations of the respiratory system
1- bring oxygen from the air into the body, inhaled by lungs & delucered to tissue/cells
2- eliminate waste CO2 from tissues cells, exchanged through the lungs
3 Expell water through the lugs(in your breath when you speak)
4- Aids in speech- flow of air past the larynx is a vital part of speech
describe the alveolar pores
connect neighboring air sacs and provides alternative routes for air to reach alveoli.
External surfaces of alveoli are coverd w/ “cobweb” of pulmonary cappilaries
describe the lung anatomy
narrow superior portion of lungs called apex, near clavicle
broad area resting on diaphragm is called the base
each lung is divided into lobes, which is divided by fissures
The mediastinum contains what 4 structures
heart, blood vessels, bronchi, esophagus
define aspiration
to inhale/breathe in
what does the epiglottis look like
your lip when you pull it down
