AP II_Respiratory_Exam3 Flashcards
Respiration Process
- Ventilation
- Gas Exchange
- Transport Oxygen & CO2
- Gas Exchange between blood & Tissues
Ventilation
- movement of air in and out of lungs
Gas Exchange
- between air in lungs and blood
Internal Respiration
- gas exchange between blood and tissues
What does breathing do?
- provides Oxygen needed in cellular repsiration to make ATP for glucose.
- Gets ride of Toxic CO2 (waste)
5 Functions of Respiration
- regulate pH
- produce chemical mediators
- voice production
- olfaction
- protection
Altering pH (respiratory)
- CO2 levels do this
Chemical Mediators (Respiratory)
- Angiotensin Converting Enzyme- blood pressure regulation
ACE
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme
Voice Production (Respiratory)
- air moving past vocal folds makes sounds
Respiratory Olfaction
- Airborne molecules drawn to nasal cavity
Respiratory Protection
- protects against microbes
Organs in the respiratory system (in order)
- Nasal Cavity
- Pharynx
- Larynx
- Trachea
- Bronchi
- Bronchioles
- Alveoli (in lungs)
Nasal Cavity is an opening for the
paranasal sinuses
Name bones forming floor of nasal cavity
- palatine process of maxilla, palatine
- nasal, frontal, ethmoid sphenoid
- maxillae and nasal conchae
Bones of Nasal Septum
- partition dividing right and left
- vomer
- perpendicular plate
Where does Respiratory movement occur?
- diaphragm
- muscles of thoracic
- abdominal walls
Upper Respiratory Tract x4
- external nose
- nasal cavity
- pharynx
- larynx
Lower Respiratory Tract x4
- Trachea
- Bronchi
- Bronchioles
- Lungs
2 Regions of the Respiratory System
- Conducting Zone
- Respiratory Zone
Conducting Zone
- Air movement
- Nose
- pharynx
- larynx
- trachea
- bronchi
- broncioles
Respiratory Zone
- in lungs
- where gas exchange
Nares means
nostrils
Choanae
- openings in pharynx
Vestibule
- inside nostrils
- anterior nasal cavity
Function of Tonsils
- lymphatic
- trap microbes
- make lymphocytes
- fight infection
Conchae
- modify lateral walls
- 3 bony ridges
Meatus
passageway
Paranasal Sinus
- within superior and middle meatus
Function of Nasal Cavity
- passage way for air
- cleans air
- humidifies/warms air
- contains olfactory epitherlium
- determine voice sound
Pharynx
- opening for digestive/respiratory
- receives air from nasal cavity
3 Regions of Pharynx
- nasopharynx, oropharanyx, laryngopharynx
Nasopharynx
- houses pharyngeal tonsil= adenoid
- Internal Nares to soft palate
- incomplete muscle & connective tissue
Oropharynx
- soft palate to hyoid/epiglottis
- houses lingual and palatine tonsils
Laryngopharynx
- hyoid to larynx
- (epiglottis to esophagus to larynx)
