The Respiratory System Flashcards
What is pulmonary respiration?
*****
Movement in and out of the lungs
what is internal respiration?
*****
once gases pass through the plasma membrane
What is cellular respiration?
*******
when cells use O2 in ATP
what is external respiration?
exchange of gas in lungs and transport of those gases
What are the structures associated with voice production?
vocal chords and larynx
What are the structures in the upper respiratory tract?
external nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, and associated structures
What are the structures of the lower respiratory tract?
larynx, trachea, the bronchi and the lungs
How does air flow through the respiratory tract?
*******
External nares->Nasal chonci->pharynx->larynx->trachea->1st bronchi->2nd bronchi->3rd bronchi->bronchioles->terminal bronchioles->respiratory bronchioles->alveolar ducts->alveolar sacs->alveoli
What are the 3 functions of nasal cavity?
**
warm air
humidify air
filter air
What are the 3 segments of the pharynx from anterior or posterior?
nasopharynx
oropharnyx
laryngiopharynx

2 posterior palentine bones
What is the function of tracheal cartilage?
support, structure, to keep trachea from collapsing
What is the epithelial tissue lining the trachea?
****
psuedostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
What is the conducting zone of air through respiratory tact?
Nasal cavity->pharynx->larynx->trachea->1st bronchi->2nd bronchi->smaller bronchi->bronchioles->terminal branches
What is the respiratory zone of air through respiratory tract?
Respiratory bronchiole->Alveolar ducts->alveolar sacs->alveoli
Where else does gas exchange occur in respiratory tract?
**
alveolus
When does gas exchange begin in Respiratory sac?
***
Respiratory bronchiole
