Respiratory System Flashcards
Upper respiratory system
Nose
Nasal cavity
Pharynx
Lower
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchi
Lungs
Functions of respiratory system
Movement of air Gas exchange Sound production Help regulate blood volume and pressure(angiotensin converting enzyme) Regulate blood ph
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Keeps mucus out of respiratory system
Cilia(moves mucus)
Nasopharynx, larynx, trachea
Stratified squamous epithelium
Inferior pharynx
Then mucus escalator
Air is filtered and humidified
Nasal vestibule
Nasal hairs
Nose
Lateral and alar cartilages
Nasal septum
For sum and apex of nose
Moves back and forth
Nasal conchae
Added turbulence to air
Nasal meatuses
Internal nares
Soft and hard palate
NasoPharynx
Behind nasal cavity
Pharyngeal tonsil
Orifice of auditory tube:equalizes pressure
Oropharynx
Behind oral cavity where food goes when you swallow
Palatine tonsil
- palatoglossal arch : ridge close to tongue
- palotopharyngeal arch: close to pharynx
Oropharynx 2
Fauces
Goes from pseudostratified columnar to stratified squamous
Laryngopharynx
Behind pharynx
Epiglottis
Glottis
Thyroid cartilage
Largest
Thyrohyoid ligament
Cricoid cartilage
Cricothyroid ligament
Cricotracheal ligament
Arytenoid cartilage
Corniculate cartilage
Vocal ligament:fold
Cuneiform cartilage
Vestibular ligament:fold
Trachea
Tracheal cartilages (C shaped, annular ligaments:repeat)
Trachealis:
Carina:
Trachealis
Regulates size and air flow
Carina
Internal ridge
Reflex
Primary bronchi
Lungs
Secondary bronchi
Lobes
Tertiary bronchi
10 segments
Less cartilage
Bronchioles
Asthma:rely on smooth muscle
Respiratory bronchioles
Alveolar
Lobules
Terminal bronchioles
Just before gas exchange is possible that
Type 1 pneumocyte
Wall of alveolus
Type 2 pneumocyte
Surfactant
Alveolar macrophage
Dusting, eats infectious agents, eats debris
Diaphragmatic surface
Base
Lobes
3 right 2 left
Fissures
Both lungs have superior and inferior lobe
Only right lunch has middle lobe
Costal surface
Smooth
Hilum
Attachment for duct work or vessels
Cardiac notch
Left lung
Where it makes room for heart
Aortic groove
Left lung
Esophageal groove
Right lung
Visceral and parietal pleura
Pleurisy
Serous membranes:results in changes in pressure
Visceral means guts, parietal wall or side
Major muscles
Diaphragm
External intercostals
Internal intercostals
Accessory inspiratory
Sternocleidomastoid
Scalenes
Accessory expiratory
Abdominal muscles
