Respiratory System Flashcards
movement of air into and out of the lungs
ventilation or breathing
exchange of O2 and CO2 between air in the lungs and the blood
Respiration
Functions of Respiratory system
Respiration Regulation of Blood pH Voice Production Olfaction Innate Immunity
What are the organs in Upper Respiratory Tract? ENP
External Nose
Nasal Cavity
Pharynx
What are the Organs in Lower Respiratory Tract? BLT
Bronchi
Lungs
Trachea
Filters the Air Involved in Speech has Olfactory receptors Warms the Air Sneezing dislodges materials from \_\_\_\_\_
Nose
Components of Nose? ENPCN
External Nose Nasal Cavity Paranasal Sinuses Conchae Nasolacrimal ducts
composed of mainly of hyaline cartilage
External Nose
openings to pharynx
choana
hard palate is the roof
nares(nostrils) to choane/a
Nasal Cavity
air filled spaces within the bone
open into nasal cavity
lined with mucous
Paranasal Sinuses
on the each side of nasal cavity
increase the surface area of nasal caity
help in cleaning, humidifying, warming of air
Conchae
carry tears from eyes
open into nasal cavity
NAsolacrimal glands
common passageway for the respiratory and digestive systems?
Pharynx
5 Parts of Pharnyx? NOLUP
Nasopharynx Oropharynx Laryngopharynx Uvula Pharyngeal Tonsil
“little grape” extension of soft palate
Uvula
aids in defending againts infections
Pharyngeal Tonsil
where we takes in the air
Nasopharynx
uvula to epiglottis
where we takes in food, drink, and air
Oropharnyx
epiglottis to esophagus
where food and drink pass thru
Laryngopharynx
a reflex that dislodges foreign substances from nasal cavity
Sneeze reflex
AKA Voicebox
located into the anterior throat and extends to base of tongue to trachea
Larynx
3 parts of Larynx? TEV
Thyroid Cartilage
Epiglottis
Vocal Cords/Folds
inflammatoin of vocal cords
caused by overuse, dryair, infection
Laryngitis
source of voice production
air passes -> they vibrate = voice
force of air determine loudness
tension determines pitch
Vocal Cords
A flap that prevents swallowed susbstance from entering Larynx
Epiglottis
AKA Adam’s Apple
Thyroid Cartillage
-Large piece pf cartillage
T or F
smoking kills the cilia
True
dislodges materials from trachea
cough
divides into right and left primary bronchi
contains pseudostratified columnar epithelium
16-20 C shape cartillage
Trachea
Connects to lungs
w/ cillia
c-shape cartillage
Bronchi
Primary organ of respiration
Lungs -cone shaped -the base rest on the diaphgram apex extends from CLAVICLE MANY AIR PASSAGEWAYS
T or F
Right Lung- 3 Lobes
Left Lung - 2 Lobes
True
Air Flow step by step
8
Primary Bronchi Lobar Bronchi Segmental Bronchi Bronchioles Terminal Bronchioles Respiratory Bronchioles Alveoli Ducts Alveoli
