respiratory system Flashcards
intubation
- putting a plastic tube into trachea
- maintain an open airway
- serves as conduit to administer drugs
tracheostomy
-an incision in the windpipe made to relieve an obstruction to breathing
Heimlich maneuver
- “abdominal thrusts”
- pushing air to generate a cough to dislodge the object
pulmonary ventilation
-breathing
glottis
- part of the larynx
- contains the vocal cords
- covers the trachea
internal respiration
- systemic
- transfer of gas between cells and blood
external respiration
- transfer of gas between organs and the outside
- due to elasticity of lungs
nasal septum
- separates left and right external nares
- lined by mucous membrain
apex
- the tip
- lungs- top of the lungs
base
- bottom/ flat side
- lungs- inferior side
cardiac notch
- lateral deflection of the anterior border of the left lung
- produced for the space taken by the heart
fissures
- double fold of visceral pleura
- forms the lobes of the lungs
alveolus
-tiny sacs in the lungs for gas exchange
hilus
-where the bronchi, blood vessels, and nerve fibers enter the lungs
pleurisy
- pleuritis
- inflammation of the pleura
- can make breathing extremely painful
function of goblet cells
- secrete mucus
- in ciliated and non citliated columnar
function of sinuses
- lighten the skull
- chambers to improve our voices
- produce mucus that moisturizes the inside of noses
path of air
- external nares
- nasal cavities (sinuses)
- pharynx
- larynx
- trachea
- bronchi
- lungs
- alveoli
- capillaries
cartilage in larynx
- thyroid cartilage (adams apple)
- cricoid cartilage (provide attachments for the muscles and ligaments involved in opening and closing the airway)
parasinuses
- frontal
- sphenoid
- ethnoid
- maxillary
- named after the name of the bones surrounding
ways to clear an obstructed airway
- Heimlich maneuver
- intubation
- tracheotomy
parts of the pharynx
- nasopharynx (concerning breathing only)
- oropharynx
- laryngo
functions of the nasal cavity
- moisturize (mucous)
- filter (cilia)
- warm (blood)
how does the nasal cavity warm the air
- capillaries in the nostrils
- dilate to cover more surface area to warm
vital capacity
- maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after maximum inhalation
- average of 3-5 liters
upper respiratory system
- external nares
- nasal cavity
- paranasal sinuses
- pharynx
lower respiratory system
- larynx
- trachea
- bronchi
- bronchioles
- alveoli
nasal vestibule
-space in the flexible tissues of the nose
