Reviewer #2 Flashcards
The overall exchange of the gases oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere, the blood and the cells
Respiration
They share equal the responsibility of supplying oxygen to and elimination carbon dioxide from cells
Cardiovascular and Respiratory system
The openings into the external nose are called?
Nostrills or External nares
The internal nose connects with the throat or pharynx via?
The two internal nares
The nose is separated into a right and left nasal cavity by?
Nasal septum
Filter out large dust particles in the air
Coarse hair
The internal nose has three shelves formed by the turbinate bones
- Superior meatus
- Middle meatus
- Inferior meatus
The olfactory receptors are found in
Superior meatus
The internal nose has three functions
- Air is warmed, moistened, and filtered.
- Olfactory stimuli are detected.
- Large hollow resonating chambers are provided for speech sounds.
The pharynx or throat has two functions
- Passageway for both food and air.
- Forms resonating chambers for speech sound
The Pharynx is divided into 3 parts
- Nasopharynx
- Oropharynx
- Laryngopharynx
The nasopharynx has four openings in it’s walls
2 internal nares and opening of the 2 eustachian tubes
The nasopharynx also houses the?
Pharyngeal tonsils
The oropharynx has one opening called?
The fauces or connection to the mouth
The oropharynx houses the?
Palatine and Linguinal tonsils
The laryngopharynx posterior connection is with the?
Esophagus
The laryngopharynx anterior connection is with the?
Larynx
The walls of the larynx are supported by nine pieces of cartilage; three are single and three are paired.
Single
1. Epiglottis
2. Thyroid
3. Cricoid
Paired
1. Arytenoids
2. Corniculates
3. Cuneiforms
Also called the adams apple usually larger in men and is the largest single piece.
Thyroid cartillage
A large, single leaf-shaped piece of cartilage that pulls down over the glottis when we swallow, to keep food or liquids from getting into the trachea
Epiglottis
A single ring of cartilage that connects with the first tracheal ring.
Cricoid cartillage
Ladle shaped and are attached to the vocal cords and laryngeal muscles. (Production of different voice qualities)
Arytenoids cartillage
Cone shaped cartillage
Corniculates cartillage
Rod shaped cartillage
Cuneiform cartillages
The mucous membrane of the larynx is arranged in two pairs of folds
- Vestibular fold
- Vocal fold
The upper pair of folds also known as false vocal cord
Vestibular fold
The lower pair of fold also known as true vocal cord
Vocal fold
The opening over the true vocal cords
Glottis
Air coming from the lungs causes the vocal cords to
Vibrate and produce sounds
Pitch is controlled by
Tension on true vocal chords
The higher the tension?
The higher the pitch
Also called voice box
The larynx
Also called the windpipe
Trachea
Size of the trachea and where is it located
4.5 inch and located anterior to the esophagus
The epithelium of trachea is
pseudostratified, ciliated columnar cells with goblet cells that produce mucus, and basal cells.
Its smooth muscles and connective tissue are encircled by
Incomplete rings hyaline cartilage shaped like a stack of Cs.
