Wk 11- Respiratory System Flashcards
Structures respiratory systems
Upper respiratory tract
Nose / nasal cavity
Paranasal sinuses and pharynx
Lower respiratory tract
L? > Br?
T? > B? and a?
Larynx > bronchi
Trachea > bronchioles and alveoli
Lower respiratory tract
The trachea (windpipe) 16-?0 tracheal c? Hyaline ? Shaped cartilage stiffen trachea and allows contractions No p? cartilage Branches into L and R p? bronchi
20
C shaped
Posterior
Primary bronchi
Trachea and Bronchi
Left and right branch off trachea ~like a tree with no leaves Consists of 1 bronchus and 2 bronchi P? Bronch? S? Bronch? T? Bronch? These all feed into the lungs
Primary bronchus
Secondary bronchi
Tertiary bronchi
Pleural cavity:
The ? reside in the pleural cavity
The cavity is lined with a pleural m?
Pleural secretes pleural ? : lubrication for l? as they in? and de?
Prevents frictions building up
Lungs
Membrane
Fluid , lungs , inflate , deflate
Bronchioles and alveoli
Bronchial tube ends in a bronchial cluster of of a?
Air passes through a? s? on inhalation
S? m? Fibres control diameter of bronchial t?
Alveoli
Alveoli sac
Smooth muscle , tubes
Bronchioles and alveoli
Outside the alveoli sac ~
The capillary network exchange g? -02 and -2
Elastic fibres = ability to c? and r? during in? and ex?
= retains s?
Gases , C02, 02
Contract and relax , inhalation , exhalation
Shape
Alveoli
Alveolar ducts connect respiratory b? to alveolar s?
Each alveolus has extensive c? supply > g? e? Between b? and a?
Bronchioles, sac
Capillary , gas exchange
Blood, air
Alveoli
E? fibres encase alveoli > assist ejection of ?
Each ? Contains 1-0 million alveoli = large s? a? allows rapid d?
Gas exchange happens a? alveoli surface
Elastic , air
Lung , 150, surface area , diffusion
Across
Alveoli cells:
Type 1= s?
Type 2= s? s? Loosen surface tension of water. The alveolus is covered in water ~ h? Bonds
Macrophages= fight introduced microorganisms in?
Structural
Secrete surfactant
Hydrogen
Inhaled
Pulmonary ventilation: respiratory muscles
Inhalation and exhalation of air C? and r? of respiratory muscles in? muscles (internal/external) Diaphragm muscles External/internal o? T?/r? Abdominus
Contraction relaxation
Intercostal
Oblique
Transverse / rectus
Pulmonary ventilation
Muscles maintain airflow in/out of alveoli
Ensures oxygen is delivered and co2 is? from b? In p? c?
Removed , blood , pulmonary capillaries
Air movement into/out lungs = b? Law
Inhale = ^ v? of lungs, decrease p? in lungs
Atmospheric air pressure ^ alveolar air pressure
Air flows outside > into lungs
Inhale = ? ?
Volume, pressure
Inhale = increase volume in lungs decrease pressure in lungs
Exhale = decrease v? lungs ^ p? alveoli/ lungs
Passive exhalation = r? external ?/ diaphragm
Active exhalation = c? internal ? / a?
Relax, intercostals
Contract , intercostals , abdominals
Pressure change respiration
Inhalation pressure:
Air 760
Alveoli 758 v
Pleural 754 v
Exhalation pressure:
Air 760
Alveoli 7?2 ^
Pleural 75? ^

Lung volumes:
What are the 4 categories? R? Volume T? Volume In? Reserve volume Ex? Reserve volume
Residual
Tidal
Inspiratory
Expiratory
