Respiratory System Flashcards
Upper respiratory system
Nose pharynx
Lower respiratory system
Larynx, trachea, bronchus, brochiols
Nasal conchae
Circulates air to humitify and warm air and also trap stuff in mucous
Vibrissae
Terminal hair to trap unwanted stuff from getting in body
Sleep apnea
When tongue and uvula sag and block air from getting into lungs during rem sleep
Glottis
Vocal organ has inferior vocal ligament responsible for phonation
Epiglottis
Stops food and water from getting into lungs
Tracheal cartilages
Get smaller as get closer to the lungs
Primary bronchi
Branch into secondary bronchi (3 right lung, 2 left), branch into terchiary
Secondary bronchi
Feed lobes of the lungs
Terchiary bronchi
Feed bronchopulmonary segments
Pulmonary arteries
Carry deoxy blood to lungs
Pulmonary arteries
Carry oxy blood away from lungs
Conducting zone contains
Trachea, bronchial tree, bronchioles, terminal bronchiols
Conducting zone functions
Filter warm humtify and conduct air
Respiratory zone contains
Respiratory bronchials, alvelolar sacs and ducts
Respiatory zone functions
Gas exchange
Emphysema
Elastic fibers give out. Can get air in easy but have to huff to get air out
Asthma
Tonic constriction of bronchioles, small lumen that secrets lots of mucous
B2 agonist/corticosteroid/combination therapy
Dialated bronchioles and reduce inflamation
Elastic fibers and alveoli
Wrap around alveloi to help push air out
