Test 2: lecture 22 Flashcards
why have lungs
aerobic respiration creates much more energy then anaerobic
2 atp per glucose vs 30 ATP per glucose
2 major adaptations to allow oxygen throughout the body
- Circulatory system – (hemoglobin) transport O2 throughout the body
- Dedicated respiratory organ – provide enough surface area for O2 to diffuse into the circulatory system (gas exchange)
type of gas exchange organs that have formed
external gills
internal bills
lungs
trachea
some other functions of the respiratory system other than O2 exchange
- Warming & moistening the incoming air
- Regulation of airflow (contracts or expand)
- Removing foreign airborne particles•“mucociliary clearance- particles get caught in mucus and expelled”
- Heat exchange (cooling the entire organism)
- Olfaction•Particularly in the proximal most airway of course
“mucociliary clearance-
particles get caught in mucus of the lung and expelled”
two parts of the respiratory tract
conducting (bring air into the lung)
respiratory (site of gas exchange)
conducting airways
bring air into the lungs
•Nose•Pharynx•Larynx•Trachea•Bronchi•Bronchioles
Respiratory portion of the lungs
site of gas exchange
•Respiratory bronchioles (sort of)•Alveolar ducts•Alveolar sacs (acini)•alveoli
nasal cavity vestibule has ___ epithelium and ___ are present
- keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
- Hair follicles and sebaceous glands are also present
4 main types of surface epithelium in the nasal passage
- Vestibule
- Transitional
- Respiratory
- Olfactory
•Nasal Vestibule – ___ (epidermis-like)•Even has appendages for nose hairs
stratified, squamous
•Transitional from the vestibule to the nasal cavity has ____ epithelium
nonciliated, cuboidal or columnar, pseudostratified
type of epithelium in the respiratory tract
- pseudostratified, ciliated, cuboidal / columnar in the nasal cavity
- characteristic of all conductive passages of the respiratory epithelium
•Olfactory – ___ epithelium for olfaction (smell) present in the dorsal / posterior aspect of the nasal cavity
specialized
•Surface of the lateral parts of the nasal cavity is organized into folds made of bony projections known as ____
conchae or turbinate
Nasal turbinate allow ___ of the air
warming, cooling and filtration
Increase surface area
Humidifies inhaled air
Generate turbulence- Aerosolized particulate matter drops out, trapped in mucusControl airflow (nasal cycle)
In the nasal turbinate, mucous and serous glands in the connective tissue supplement the mucous secretion of ___ cell
goblet cells
olfactory epithelium line the ___ and the ___
nasal septum and superior concha
make up of olfactory epithelium
- Pseudostratified
- Contains ciliated olfactory sensory neurons
- Olfactory receptors responding to odor-producing substances dissolved in the serous layer
- Sustentacular cells (support)
- Basal cells (progenitor)
transitioning for olfactory to respiratory epithelium → where the cilli come in and goblet cells
olfactory has ___ epithelium
pseudostratified
make make olfactory neurons special
they can regenerate from basal epithelial progenitors!
Bowan’s glands are found ___ and are needed to dissolve ___
olfactory region
mucous-serous glands
particles to be able to smell them
pharynx parts
•Nasopharynx•Oropharynx•Hypopharynx
nasopharynx has __ epithelum
respiratory
oropharynx and hypopharynx is lined with ___
stratified squamous epithelium
larynx is lined by ___
respiratory epithelium cells
___ connects the pharynx to the trachea
larynx
