What is the major role of the respiratory system?
Supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide
What are the 4 processes of respiration?
- Pulmonary ventilation
- External ventilation
- Transport of respiratory gases
4.Internal respiration
What is pulmonary ventilation?
Tidlike movement of air into and out of the lungs that allows the gases to be changed and refreshed- called breathing
What is external respiration?
The gas exchange between the blood and air-filled chambers of the lungs
Define transport of respiratory gases
The transport of respiratory gases between the lungs and tissue cells of the body uses blood as the transport vehicle.
What is internal respiration?
Exchange of gases between systemic blood and tissue cells
What is the nasal cavity lined with?
pseudostratified
ciliated columnar epithelium
What does the Nasal vestibule contain?
contains sebaceous and sweat
glands and numerous hair follicles
What are the three pharynxes in the respiratory system?
nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx
Where is the nasopharynx
posterior to the nasal cavity and lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Where is the Oropharynx
Located posterior to the oral cavity, and extends from the soft palate
palate to the epiglottis; lined with stratified squamous epithelium
Where is the Laryngopharynx
Extends from the epiglottis to the larynx; lined with stratified squamous epithelium
What is the Pharyngotympanic Tube
Tube that opens into the lateral walls of the nasopharynx and
connects the nasopharynx to the middle ear.
What are the Paranasal Sinuses
Surround the nasal cavity and are named for the bones in which they are located. Lined with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
What is contained in the lower respiratory structures
larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
What is another term for the larynx?
Voice box
Describe the right primary bronchi compared to the left
wider, shorter, and more vertical than
the left, and foreign objects that enter the respiratory passageways
are more likely to become stuck there
What is the trachea lined with?
ciliated, mucus-secreting, pseudostratified columnar epithelium
What are the two functions of the c like rings around the trachea
The incomplete parts allow the esophagus
to expand anteriorly when a large food bolus is swallowed. The
solid portions reinforce the trachea walls to maintain its open
passageway when pressure changes occur during breathing
Describe the Larynx
Tube connecting the laryngopharynx and the trachea. Nine cartilages
are present. Epithelium superior to the vocal folds is stratified
squamous. Epithelium inferior to the vocal folds is pseudostratified
ciliated columnar.
What do the main bronchi divide into?
The lobar (secondary) bronchi
What does the lobar bronchi divide into?
The segmental (tertiary) bronchi, which divide repeatedly into smaller
and smaller bronchi
What are the branches, less than 1mm in diameter, called?
bronchioles
What do the bronchioles divide into (0.5mm)
terminal bronchioles
