43
Q

Functions of respiratory system

A

Transport air to and from lungs

Exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide

44
Q

Primary function of respiratory system

A

Supply oxygen to body

45
Q

Respiration

A

Mechanism though which gases are exchanged

46
Q

The lymph system supports respiration by

A

Maintaining fluids providing immunity, and removing solid materials and micro organisms

47
Q

Upper respiratory tract

A

Nose / nasal cavity , parasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx

48
Q

Lower respiratory tract

A

Trachea, lungs, bronchi (bronchi then branch into bronchioles, alverarducts, and alveoli)

49
Q

Pharynx

A

Part of throat from the back of nasal cavity to larynx

50
Q

Cilia

A

Tiny hair like organelles found in the nose and bronchial passage ways

51
Q

Larynx

A

Acts in conjunction with the epiglottis to guard the entrance to the trachea and lower airways

52
Q

Diaphragm

A

Dome shaped layer/ sheet of muscle that lies across bottom of chest cavity, relaxed = air out, contracted = air in

53
Q

Most well known types of illnesses for upper respiratory system

A

Rhinitis, sinus infection, common cold, laryngitis

54
Q

Main illnesses for lower respiratory tract

A

Infection, bronchitis,bronchial it is, pneumonia

55
Q

There are two functioning parts of the lungs the

A

Conducting airway and cartilage

56
Q

Conducting airway of the lungs

A

Bronchi and bronchioles tubes lined by cilia and respiratory mucosa containing varying amounts of muscle and hyaline cartilage in the walls. They provide dead air for ventilation and gas exchange areas for perfusion, and move about 10,000 L of inspired air per day

57
Q

Cartilage of the lung

A

Form a protection and cushioning for the bronchi. Bronchi contain hyaline cartilage rings in the walls to keep airways open. Bronchioles contain little cartilage, instead have a thick layer of muscle

58
Q

Inspiration of air occurs when

A

Pressure inside of lung (intrapulminary pressure) is lower hen atmospheric pressure which allows airflow into alveoli
Pressure is less then 760 mmHg

59
Q

Larynx

A

Voice box

60
Q

Trachea

A

Windpipe

61
Q

Epiglottis

A

Small leaf shaped cartilage attached to tongue that prevents substances other then air from entering trachea

62
Q

Rhinitis

A

Inflammation of nasal passages

63
Q

Rhinorrhea

A

Runny nose

64
Q

After inspiration oxygen passes though the larynx and trachea into

A

Smaller tubes called bronchi. Splitting off into smaller bronchial tubes leading into lungs then branching off into many bronchioles then connecting to alveoli where it is diffused into capillaries

65
Q

Alveoli are

A

Grape like clusters of air sacks, average adult contains about 600 million of them
