cellular respiration
|
as cells use oxygen they release carbon dioxide a waste product. these oxygen using cellular processes are known as...
|
|
respiratory system
|
the role of this system is to supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide
|
|
respiration
|
to fulfill the role of the respiratory system, there are four distinct processes collectively referred to as this
|
|
pulmonary ventilation (ventilation, breathing)
|
movement of the air into and out of the lungs so that gases in the alveoli are continuously changed and refreshed
|
|
external respiration
|
gas exchange between the blood and the air filled chambers of the lungs, oxygen loading (carbon dioxide unloading)
|
|
transport of respiratory gases
|
the transport of respiratory gases between the lungs and tissue cells of the body using blood as the transport vehicle (cardiovascular system)
|
|
internal respiration
|
exchange gases between systemic blood and tissue cells( oxygen unloading carbon dioxide loading)
|
|
paranasal sinuses
|
surround the nasal cavity, named for the bones in which they are located, act as resonance chambers in speech
|
|
cleft palate
|
genetic defect, failure of the palatine bones and/or palatine processes of the maxillary bone to fuse medially, cause difficulty in breathing, sucking, chewing, speech
|
|
throat
|
pharynx, connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx and
esophagus |
|
otitis media
|
because of the continuity of the middle ear and nasopharyngneal mucosae, nasal infections maybe invade the middle ear and cause this
|
|
adams apple
|
the large shield shaped thyroid cartilage, whose anterior medial laryngeal prominence is commonly referred to as this
|
|
respiratory bronchioles
|
the terminal branches of the bronchioles
|
|
respiratory tree
|
the continuous branching of the respiratory passageways in the lungs is often referred to as this
|
|
respiratory membrane
|
air blood barrier, the alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basal laminae form this
|
|
respiratory zone structures
|
alveolar sacs, alveolar ducts, and respiratory bronchioles. these structures are involved with the passing of oxygen/ carbon dioxide from the alveolar air to the capillary blood
|
|
conducting zone structures
|
nasal cavity to the terminal bronchioles. these structures serve access/exit routes to gas exchange chamber. anatomical dead space
