The larynx continued Flashcards
- The Laryngeal Musculature
- The larynx is associated with:
- Muscles of neck and pharynx
- Intrinsic muscles
* Control vocal folds
* Open and close glotti
The Trachea is also called and it extend intos from___where it branches off
the windpipe
* Extends from the cricoid cartilage into
mediastinum
* Where it branches into right and left pulmonary
bronchi
The submucosa is located beneath__ and conta
- Beneath mucosa of trachea
- Contains mucous glands
Tracheal cartilages functiom
- Strengthen and protect airway
- Discontinuous where trachea contacts esophagu
Ends of each tracheal cartilage are connected by:
An elastic ligament and trachealis muscle
The Primary Bronchi
* Right and Left Primary
Bronchi
* Separated by an
internal ridge (the
carina
The Right Primary
Bronchus
Is larger in diameter
than the left
* Descends at a steeper
angle
Hilum
Where pulmonary nerves, blood vessels,
lymphatics enter lung
* Anchored in meshwork of connective tissue
The root of the lung
- Complex of connective tissues, nerves, and
vessels in hilum - Anchored to the mediastinum
- Left and right lungs
Are in left and right pleural cavities
The base of lungs
- Inferior portion of each lung rests on superior
surface of diaphragm
- Lobes of the lungs
- Lungs have lobes separated by deep fissures
The right lung has three lobes
Superior, middle, and inferior
The right lung is Separated by
horizontal and oblique fissures
