Respiratory System Flashcards
Name the structures in the Upper Respiratory tract
Paranasal sinuses
Nasal Conchae
nose
nasal cavity
nasopharynx
Name the structures in the lower respiratory tract
larynx
trachea
bronchi
lungs
bronchioles
What type of cells secrete pleura?
Simple squamous cells
What happens when someone experiences a pneumothorax?
This happens because air entered the pleura which causes the lungs to detach from the ribs
i.e. a collapsed lung
Cleans and warms inhaled air
Protects cells from dehydration
Made up of__ except ____
The conducting zone
everything but the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar sacs
Ciliated mucous lines the conducting zone, ____ ciliated ____ line conducting zone except for ___ and ____
These are lines with ____ _____
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
the oral and laryngeal pharynx
stratified squamous
The pharynx is broken up into what parts __,__,__
nasal, oral and laryngeal
Coughing happens because of the nerve endings in the ____. ____ help move the foreign objects up the trachea.
carina. cilia
What is the pathway of air?
Nostrils
nasal vestibule
nasal cavity
nasal conchae
posterior nasal aperture
pharynx
larynx
trachea
left and right bronchi
Nasal septum, perpendicular plate and hyaline cartilage separate what?
separates the nasal cavity into right and left
Pathogens get stuck in the mucous, it humidifies air, creates turbulence and it allows for one to smell better
nasal conchae
__ and ___ make up the hard palate
maxilla and palatine bone
soft palate
Separates the nasal and oral cavity
closes the nasal passage when eating
hyoid bone dictates the start of ____
laryngealpharynx
larynx
voice box/chord which sits behind the adams apple or “laryngeal prominence”
epiglottis, thyroid, and cricoid cartilage
What is the difference between vocal and vestibular folds?
Vocal fold are considered to be the true ones because theses are the ones that make sound
Vestibular folds can’t create sound because not elastic enough and they close the glottis.
Tracheostomys take place where and what is it
“smokers tube”
in the criocoid thyroid ligament
it helps get air into the lungs by an making an opening in the trachea
When vocal fold are open, it creates a ___ voice, if they’re closed then it creates a ____ ____ voice
Deep
high pitch
What do the intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal muscle do?
Intrinsic muscles regulate tension in vocal chords, and opening of glottis
extrinsic connects the larynx to nearby structures
What is the Valsalva maneuver
blowing air with your nose closed
the vestibule fold prevents air from escaping which causes pressure in abdomen
this helps with pooping, lighting weights and delivery of child
