Respiratory Red Stuff Flashcards
what are the four functions of the respiratory system
ventilation, external respiration, gas transport, internal respiration
where does gas exchange during external respiration occur?
alveoli
the movement of air into and out of lungs
ventilation
gas exchange from air in the lungs and the blood
external respiration
gas exchange between the blood and tissues
internal
transport of oxygen and CO2 into the blood
gas transport
what are the 5 functions of the secondary respiratory system
regulation of blood ph
production of chemical mediators
voice production
olfaction
protection
what are the two structural division
upper and lower tract
what is included in the upper tract
nose, pharynx and associated structures
what is included in the lower tract
larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and tubing within lungs
within the nasal cavity, this forms the bony ridges with meatuses between
concha
what are the 5 nasal cavity functions
passageway for air
cleans the air (filter)
humidifies and warms
smell
resonating chambers for speech
name the three regions that make up the pharynx
nasopharynx
oropharynx
laryngopharynx
what tissue forms nasopharynx
pseudostratified columnar epithelium WITH goblet cells
what tissue forms the oropharynx
moist stratified squamous epithelium
what tissue forms the laryngopharynx
moist stratified squamous epithelium
cartilage is important to what structure
larynx
these are made of unpaired cartilages
thyroid
cricoid
epiglottis
these are made of paired cartilages
arytenoids
corniculate
cuneiform
these are ligaments that extend from arytenoids to thyroid cartilage
main function of the larynx controlled by vocal folds
sound production
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium does what in larynx
traps debris
smooth muscle that is used for coughing in Trachea
trachealis
where does the trachea divide into the two primary bronchi
carina
primary bronchi divide into what
secondary/lobar bronchi
