|
Oxygen 1-obtained from? 2-carried to? |
1) the air by diffusion across delicate exchange surfaces of lungs 2) cells by the cardiovascular system, which also returns carbon dioxide to the lungs |
|
5 functions of the resp. System: |
1- provides extensive gas exchange surface area b/w air and circulating blood 2-moves air to and from exchange surfaces of the lungs 3- protects resp. Surfaces from outside environment 4- produces sound 5- participated in olfactory sense |
|
Respiratory Mucosa 1- consists of two layers: 2- what portion of the resp. System does it line? |
1- a)epithelial later b) areolar layer called lamina propia 2- lines the conducting portions of the resp. System |
|
Resp. Defense Sytem: 1) consists of: 2) Removes: |
1) a series of filtration mechanisms 2) removes particles and pathogens |
|
Components of the Resp. Defense System: Functions of: 1) mucous cells and glands 2) Cilia 3) Filtration in Nasal Cavity 4) Alveolar Macrophages |
1)produce mucus that bathes exposed surfaces 2)sweep debris trapped in mucus toward the pharynx 3)removes large particles 4)engulf small particles that reach lungs |
