Respiratory (TEAS) Flashcards
The respiratory system includes
Nose, mouth, nasal cavity, sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, and lungs.
What’s the function of the respiratory system organs?
to facilitate oxygen throughout the body for cellular respiration
Conductive zone
brings inhaled air to the respiratory zone.
Respiratory zone
Is where gas exchange occurs
External Respiration
Is the exchange of gas between the lungs and blood.
Internal Respiration
is the exchange of gas between the blood and tissues.
Secondary function of the respiratory system
include ph regulation of the blood , thermoregulation, odor detection and the production of speech.
Name the parts of the respiratory system
Sphenoidal sinus, Nasal cavity, Pharynx, Alveoli, Right lung, Diaphragm, Frontal sinus, Nasal conchae, nose, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchus, Bonchioles, Left lung
Gas Exchange
The loading of the oxygen into pulmonary blood, and the removal of carbon dioxide inhaled air moves from the mouth or nose to the pharynx, larynx, trachea, right ad left main bronchi, bronchioles, and then the alveoli.
At what point does gas pass through the respiratory membrane?
At the capillaries and alveoli
Oxygen difuses and travels
Through the blood where it is delivered to tissues
Carbon dioxide
Diffuses out of the blood as a waste product
Thermoregulation
Is the regulation of body temperature, capillaries in the respiratory tract within the nasal passages and trachea can constrict to conserve heat and dilate to release heat.
How does the body cool itself.
Through the exhalation if warm moistened air.
Secondary Role of the respiratory system
Protection of disease and filtration of particulate matter.
