Respiratory system of Animals Flashcards
3 Main parts of respiratory system of mammals
Nasal Cavity
Trachea
Lungs
Type of muscle tissue/s that build the mammalian trachea
hyaline cartilage and smooth muscles
What type of specialized cell that lined with Trachea
goblet cells and ciliated epithelia
Main parts of avian respiratory
Lungs, Air sacs, trachea
Respiratory process of an Avian:
1st inhale: trachea to posterior-abdominal-thoracic air sacs
1st exhale: posterior-abdominal-thoracic air sacs to lungs
2nd inhale: lungs to anterior-cervical-clavicular air sacs
2nd exhalation: anterior-cervical-clavicular air sacs to trachea
9 parts of air sacs of avian respiratory
1 clavicular
2 cervical
2 abdominal
2 posterior
2 thoracic
In the avian lungs; contains continuous tubules that are called __________ that allows air to pass through in one direction
parabronchi
Made out of cartilaginous rings that prevents this part of organ to collapse under negative pressure
Avian trachea
3 other organs of respiratory system of avian
- Glottis
- Syrinx
- Larynx
This organ closes when food passes down on throat, to prevent a feed to enter respiratory tract
Glottis
Known as the voice box, that splits air at the base of trachea into two parts.
Syrinx
Losses is function in avian, but they closes for protection
larynx
