Bacteria
#25 Describe the respiratory mucosa
lines nasal cavity, ciliated psuedistratified epithelium, glands secreting lysozyme and defensins, lots of goblet cells and contains medium and small particle filters
#26 What happens in the inspired air in the nasal cavity
Humidified and warmed
#27 What are the 3 conchae
Superior, medial, and inferior
#28 What are the functions of the conchae
Increase mucosal area, enhance air turbulence and help filter air
#29 What triggers sneezing
Sensitive mucosa when stimluated by irritating particles
#30 What are the purpose of the sinuses
Lighten skull and help to warm and moisten air
#31 The Pharynx is divided into what 3 regions
Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, Laryngopharnyx
#32 Name 2 structure descirptions of the nasopharynx
Strictly an air passageway and lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
#33 What are some of the functions nasopharynx
closes during swallowing, pharyngeal tonsil lie high on posterior wall, and auditory tubes open into lateral walls
#34 Name the 3 things about the Oropharynx
Serve as common passageway for food and air, palatine tonsils lie in the lateral walls, and lingual tonsils cover base of tongue
#35 What is the structure of the laryngopharynx
Lies posterior to the upright epiglottis and extens to larynx where the respiratory and digestive pathways split
#36 Whats another name of the voice box
Larynx
#37 Name 3 functions of the larynx
Provide patent airway, acts as a switching mechanism to route air and food into the proper channels and voice production
#38 Name the 3 main cartilages of the larynx
Thyroid, Cricoid, Arytenoid
#39 What is the epiglottis
Elastic cartilage that covers the laryngeal inlet during swallowing
#40 The vocal ligaments are composed of elastic fibers that form mucosal folds called what
True vocal cords
#41 What vibrates to produce sound as air rushes up from the lungs
True vocal cords
#42 True or false: False vocal cords produce sound
False
#43 What determines pitch
Length and tension of vocal cords
#44 What determines he loudness
The force of air which rushes across the vocal cords
#45 True or False: Larnyx is opened during coughing, sneezing and valsalva's maneuver
False
#46 What is Valsalva's Maneuver
Bearing down to Poop
#47 What are the 3 layers of the trachea
Mucosa, submucosa, Adventita
#48 What marks the end of the trachea
Carina (last tracheal cartilage)
#49 What does the bronchi subdivide into
Secondary bronchi, each supplying a lobe of the lungs
#50 What are the structural changes of the bronchial tree
More smooth muscle, less cartilage
#51 What type of epithelium makes up the bronchioles
Cuboidal
#52 True or false: Bronchioles consist of all cartilage
False
#53 In what order is the respiratory zone?
1- Respiratory bronchioles to alveolar ducts
2-Alveolar ducts to terminal clusters of alveolar sacs composed of alveoli
#54 True or False; Repsiratory zone is where gas exchange occurs

#55 Respirartory membrane is an air-blood barrier composed of what
Alevolar and capillary wall, and their fused basal laminas
#56 What is the alveolar walls
Single layer type I epiethial cells and permit gas exchange by simple diffusion
