16
Q

Uvula

A

Soft process extends from the posterior edge of the soft palate , lined with respiratory epithelium .

17
Q

Oropharynx function

A

Passage of food , water and air

18
Q

Function of oropharynx stratified squamous epithelium

A

Protection against abrasion

19
Q

Structures of oropharynx

A

Palatine tonsils and lingual tonsils

20
Q

Thyroid cartilage

A

Largest laryngeal cartilage

Maintain an open passage way for air

21
Q

Cricoid cartilage

A

Maintain an open passage way for air

22
Q

Hyoid bone

A

Located on the anterior throat

Outer casing of nine cartilages , mostly hyaline

23
Q

Epiglottis cartilage

A

Helps prevent swallowed materials from entering the larynx and lungs

24
Q

True vocal cords

A

Primary source of voice production

Often gets inflamed “ laryngitis “

25
Q

False vocal cords

A

Prevent air from leaving the lungs

Helps prevent helps prevent swallowing from entering larynx

26
Q

Trachea

A

C-shaped cartilage

Protect the trachea

Maintain an open passage way

Contain smooth muscles to alter the diameter of the trachea

Lined with respiratory epithelium

Divided into right and left bronchi at T5 levels

Bronchi also lined with respiratory epithelium and cartilage

27
Q

Lungs

A

It is the principle of respiratory

Cone shaped

Apex is situated superiorly

Base is situated inferiorly

28
Q

Right lung

A

More vertical

Larger in diameter

Foreign bodies will lodge into right main bronchus

Has three lobes superior , middle and inferior

Each lobe is divided into ten lobules / broncho - pulmonary segments .

29
Q

Left lung

A

More horizontal

Smaller in diameter

Has two lobes superior and inferior

Each lobe has nine lobules / broncho pulmonary segments

30
Q

Bronchi

A

Trachea Division into right and left bronchi at T5 levels

Bronchi lined with respiratory epithelium and cartilage

31
Q

TRACHEO - BRONCHIAL - TREE

A
  • walls becomes thinner as air passages becomes smaller .
  • Main bronchus&raquo_space; lobar / secondary bronchus&raquo_space; lobular / tertiary / segmental bronchus&raquo_space; bronchioles “ without cartilage only smooth muscle “&raquo_space; terminal bronchioles&raquo_space; respiratory bronchioles&raquo_space; alveolar ducts&raquo_space; alveoli .
32
Q

Alveoli

A

Small air sacs lined with simple squamous epithelium

33
Q

Alveolar sac

A

Two or more alveoli share a common opening

34
Q

Types of alveoli

A

Type one : thin , flat ; gas exchange

Type two : secrete pulmonary surfactant
