A&P 2 L2 Flashcards
What separates the nasal cavity & oral cavity
Hard & soft palates
What are the 3 advantages to nose-breathing?
- Filter air
- Humidify
- Warm
What divides the air flow into the nasal cavity
Septum
Define deviated septum
Nasal septum bend during birth or occur subsequently from trauma: making it difficult to breathe—-> surgery
Inflammation of the sinus
Sinusitis
Air filled space
Reduced the weight of the skull
Gives your voice quality
Sinus
What is URTI stand for and what is it
Upper respiratory tract infection; infection outside the thoracic cavity
Tissue that is 95% lining of the respiratory system
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar E.T
Opening into larynx
Glottis
C shaped rings that lines down the airways
Hyaline cartilage C.T
Inflammation of the larynx
Laryngitis
What is pulmonary ventilation
Means brea thing
What are 2 types of respiration
External & internal respiration
Lung level; exchange of gases O2 & CO2, between lungs & atmosphere
External respiration
Bluish color change in the skin
Cyanosis
What moves the gases between external respiration & internal respiration
Blood
Cellular respiration; stages is glycosis, Kreb’s cycle, ETS
Internal respiration
Insufficient amount of oxygen in the body
Hypoxia
What are the 4 types of hypoxia
Hypoxic hypoxia
Hypemic hypoxia
Histotoxic hypoxia
Stagnant hypoxia
Lung level hypoxia
Hypoxic hypoxia
Blood level hypoxia; blood is not able to carry blood as it should
Ex: carbon monoxide & anemia
Hypemia hypoxia
Cell level
Cells that can’t use oxygen
Ex: carbon monoxide
Histotoxic hypoxia
Pooling of blood
Sitting/standing in one place too long
Stagnant hypoxia
What is the outer part of the respiratory system
Nose
