RESPIRATORY SYSTEM – function[a]This system allows gas exchange in the blood.

[q]

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM – structure [a] This system includes the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.

[q]

Pharynx – define [a]This structure contains a passage way for air and food.

[q]

What is in the larynx?[a]This structure houses the vocal cords.

[q]

Trachea – define [a]This structure serves as an air passage below the larynx.

[q]

Bronchi – define [a]This structure includes two branches of the trachea, one going to each lung.

[q]

Lungs – function[a]These organs allow exchange of gases between blood and air in alveoli.

[q]

Ciliated mucous membrane – location [a]This membrane lines the upper and much of lower respiratory tract.

[q]

Ciliated mucous membrane – function[a]This membrane cleans, warms and moistens air.

[q]

Nasal septum – structure [a]This structure includes the perpendicular plate of ethmoid, vomer & cartilage.

[q]

Nasal conchae – function[a]These structures direct air into the sinuses and hang off nasal septum.

[q]

Paranasal sinuses – location [a]These structures are mucous lined cavities in frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid & maxillary bones.

[q]

Paranasal sinuses – function[a]These structures function as resonating chambers for speech, plus warming and moistening air.

[q]

Olfactory epithelium – function[a]In this structure the dendrites of the olfactory nerve located.

[q]

Cribriform plate – function[a]Through this structure the olfactory nerve passes.

[q]

Nasolacrimal duct – function[a]This structure moves tears from the eye into the nasal cavity.

[q]

Pharynx – structure [a]This structure is composed of the following: nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx.

[q]

Nasopharynx – features[a] the pharyngeal tonsil and the opening for Eustachian tube

[q]

What is found in the oropharynx?[a] the palatine and lingual tonsils

[q]

Laryngopharynx – features[a]This structure opens into esophagus and larynx.

[q]

What is found in the larynx?[a] the vocal cords located.

[q]

The epiglottis – function[a]This structure prevents food from going into the trachea.

[q]

Trachea – define [a]This structure is a mucous membrane lined tube supported by smooth muscle and “C” shaped cartilage.

[q]

Tracheobronchial tree – structure [a]This tubular structure is made of a series of cartilage rings and smooth muscle that branch from the trachea and get progressively smaller.

[q]

Bronchioles – define [a]These tiny tubular structures enter the alveoli.

[q]

Alveoli – structure [a]These structures are composed of air sacs of simple squamous epithelium.

[q]

Alveoli – function[a] gas exchange between air and blood.

[q]

Upper respiratory tract – list parts [a]This structure includes: nasal cavity and pharynx.

[q]

Lower respiratory tract – list parts [a] This structure includes: larynx, trachea and bronchi.

[q]

Lungs – location [a]This structures take up the most space in the thoracic cavity from above clavicle to diaphragm.

[q]

Visceral pleura – define [a]This structure is a serous membrane making up the outer surface of lungs.

[q]

Parietal pleura – define [a]This structure is a serous membrane that lines thoracic cavity, internal rib cage, superior surface of diaphragm

[q]

Pleural cavity – define [a]This structure consists of a tiny space between the pleural membranes filled with serous fluid.

[q]

Pulmonary Ventilation – define [a]This term describes an action done 16-20 times a minute at rest and is a fancy name for breathing.

[q]

Inspiration – aka[a]inhalation

[q]

Expiration – aka[a]exhalation

[q]

Inhalation at rest – muscles involved[a]the diaphragm and external intercostals.

[q]

Exhalation at rest – cause[a] passive elastic recoil of lungs and thoracic wall without muscle activity.

[q]

Strenuous inhalation – muscles involved[a]Diaphragm, External intercostals,Sternocleidomastoid,Scalenes,Pectoralis Minor

[q]

Strenuous Exhalation – muscles involved[a] the internal intercostals and the abdominals.

[q]

Medullary Rhythmicity Center-function[a]This center controls the basic rhythm of respiration.

[q]

Tidal Air Volume – define [a] the amount of air inhaled/exhaled in normal inhalation at rest. (500mL)

[q]

Vital Capacity – define [a]The maximum amount of air that can be expired after a maximal inspiration. (4800mL)

[q]

dyspnea – define [a] labored, painful, irregular breathing.

[q]

Asthma – define [a] muscle spasm in walls of small bronchi and bronchioles.

[q]

Emphysema – define [a]Alveolar walls degenerate, leading to larger alveoli with a decreased surface area.
