what is the goal of respiration?
to supply body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide
what are the four main parts of respiration?
-pulmonary ventilation
-external respiration
-transport of respiratory gases
-internal (cellular) respiration
what is pulmonary ventilation?
breathing
what is external respiration?
moving the gas between the lungs and the blood stream
how is the transport of respiratory gases accomplished?
the circulatory system
what does the internal (cellular) respiration do?
takes oxygen out of the blood and get it in to the muscles
where is the respiratory zone, where the gas exchange occurs?
-respiratory bronchioles
-alveolar ducts
-alveoli
what is the conducting zone?
the conduit for air, clease, humidify, warm
what is the "vestibule" (part of the nose and paranasal sinuses)
lined with vibrissae (hairs) for filtering
what lines the superior portion of the nasal cavity?
olfactory epithelium
what is most of the nasal cavity lined with?
respiratory mucosa-pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
where does the contaminated mucous from the nasal cavity go?
to the pharynx
what enzyme does mucous have?
lysozyme
what are serous glands?
water fluid containing enzymes/defensins
what do the vascular plexuses do?
warm the air before it enters the body
what is the nasal mucosa supplied with? and what do they trigger?
supplied with sensory nerve endings; the trigger sneeze if they come in contact with irritating particle
why are the bones of the face hollow?
to make the skull lighter
what is rhinitis?
inflammation of the nasal mucosa
what is sinusitis?
inflammation of the sinuses
what is the pharynx?
connects nasal cavityand mouth to larynx and esophagus
what is the nasopharynx?
-an air cavity
-soft palate and uvula prevent food entrance
-pharyngeal tonsil
-tubal tonsils surround auditory tubes
what is the oropharynx?
-stratified squamous epithelium
-palatine tonsils
-lingual tonsil
what is the laryngopharynx?
-common pathway for food and air
-stratified squamous eptihelium
-directly posterior to upright epiglottis
-extends to larynx
-posteriorly is continuous with esophagus
when we're not swallowing, the esophagus is....
collapsed
the larynx is superiorly attached to the..
hyoid bone
what are the functions of the larynx?
-patent airway
-routing food and air
-houses vocal cords
cilia in the larynx beats _____.
upward
during swallowing, the larynx is pulled _____ so epiglottis ____ ____ _____.
superiorly; closes off larynx
what are the three layers to the wall of the trachea?
-mucosa (pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium): goblet cells that secret mucous
-submucosa: seromucous glands
-adventitia: reinforced by c-shaped hyaline cartilage rings
look at slide 13
if memorized go on, if not, incorrect
which side of the lungs is the more common site for inhaled objects?
the right primary bronchi
how many orders of branching in the lungs are there?
23
what are the descending order of the respiratory zone?
-terminal bronchiole
-respiratory bronchiole
-alveolar ducts
-alveolar sacs containing alveoli
alveoli provides ___ ____ ____ for gas exchange
large surface area
gas exchange occurs by what in the respiratory membrane?
simple diffusion across the alveolar-capillary membrane
what is the Hilus (mediastinal surface)?
where vessels leave and enter each lung
what is the pleurae?
thin, double-layered serosa
parietal serosa covers what?
thoracic wall and diaphragm
what covers the external lung surface?
visceral or pulmonary pleura
what does the pleurae produce?
lubricating pleural fluid that fills pleural cavity
what is PLEURISY?
inflammation of pleurae
-due to infection or wounds in the lungs: causes a lot of pain: the lungs ridgedly move in and out
