25
Passageway for air from the nose or mouth to the larynx and for food from the mouth to the esophagus
Laryngopharynx
26
Formed from the thyroid and cricoid cartilage
Larynx
27
Opening into the larynx
Glottis
28
Cartilaginous flap that covers the glottis when swallowing food
Epiglottis
29
Lower respiratory tract
``` Trachea Primary bronchi Bronchioles Alveoli Lungs ```
30
Made of C-shaped cartilaginous rings that prevent it from collapsing
Trachea/windpipe
31
Extends from larynx to bronchi
Trachea
32
Many smaller tubes branching off from tertiary bronchi- final branches are the terminal bronchioles
Bronchioles
33
If all the bronchioles contract at the same time......
asthma attack
34
Clusters of sacs at the end of the terminal bronchioles
Alveoli
35
Site of gas exchange
Alveoli
36
A disease characterized by the alveoli booming brittle and eventually rupturing
Emphysema
37
Lined with mucous, which is high in water content and water molecules are cohesive and attract each other
Alveoli
38
In premature babies, the surfactant-producing cells are underdeveloped and the alveoli collapse
IRDS (leading cause of death of premature babies)
39
Divided into two lobes: superior and inferior separated by the oblique fissure
Left Lung
40
Divided into three lobes: superior and middle are separated by the horizontal issue and middle and inferior are separated by the oblique fissure
Right Lung
41
Forms the cavity, which is lined with the parietal pleura membrane
Thoracic wall
42
Encloses the lung
Visceral pleura
43
Forms the thoracic cavity floor
diaphragm
44
Movement go air into and out of the lungs
Ventilation
45
Normal breathing
Eupnea
46
Deep breathing, diaphragm movements
diaphragmatic breathing
47
Rib movements early, shallow breathing
Costal breathing
48
Forced breathing
Hyperpnea
49
Inspiration
- diaphragm contacts, which pulls it downward, while the external intercostals pull the ribs up, increasing volume of thoracic cavity - causes lung volume to increase and lowers air pressure in the lungs
50
Passive expiration
Diaphragm and the external intercostals relax, decreasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and the lungs and increasing the air pressure in the lungs, causing the air to be pushed out
51
Active expiration
Contraction of abdominal muscles and the internal intercostals forcing the diaphragm up and the ribs inward, causing more pressure in the lungs and thoracic cavity
52
Located in the medulla oblongata
Respiratory center
53
Used to measure respiratory function
Lung capacities
54
The amount of air moved in and out with each breath (about 500ml)
Tidal Volume
55
Total volume of air that can be moved in and out of the lungs with a single maximum breath (4500-5000ml)
Vital capacity
56
The amount of air that can be inspired after the normal tidal volume inspired (3100ml)
Inspiratory reserve volume
57
Amount of air that can be expired after the normal tidal volume of air is expired (1400ml)
Expiratory reserve volume
58
Amount of air left in the lungs after a maximum expiration (1000ml)
Residual volume
59
Vital capacity+residual volume
Total lung capacity
60
Caused by a virus that enters the cells of the upper respiratory tract and spread by mucous droplets containing virus
Common cold
61
Virus enters respiratory cells, kills them and causes inflammation and irritation in the trachea and bronchi
Influenza
62
Compromised airflow during attacks due to inflammation, mucous secretion and bronchoconstriction
Asthma
63
Fluid build up in the alveoli
Pneumonia
64
Caused by bacterium which forms a tubercle causing tissue damage
Tuberculosis
65
Causes cells in the lungs to form fibrous CT, making the lungs less elastic and therefore less efficient
Pulmonary fibrosis
