Ch 13 Lecture Outline Flashcards
Our bodies only have enough stores oxygen for —-
4-6 minutes
Rigid structure compromised of cartilage and bone
The nose
Coarse nasal hairs
Vibrissae
Function of olfactory region
Detecting smells
- are able to smell - growths
Dogs , malignant
How does an electric sensor detect different types of cancer
By sensing chemical variations of the specific tumors
Why do we breathe through our mouth

How many cilia does each cell have
200-250
Special cells in the epithelium produce -
Mucus
A watery layer that houses the cilia
The sol layer
A viscous and sticky layer that sits on the top of the sol layer and traps small particles
The gel layer
What is the mechanism of the cilia and mucus working together called
Mucociliary escalator
Color of coughed up muscle can help identify - - ,
- mucus indicates the presence of infection while - indicates the presence of bleeding

Cystic fibrosis
Some functions of the sinuses
Help intensify sound produced by voice
Help lighten the head
Assist in warming and moisturizing air
The throat , consists of hollow muscular bone lined with epithelial tissue
Pharynx
Uppermost section behind the nasal cavities
Nasopharynx
Two types of tonsils
Palatine tonsils and lingual tonsils
What moves to protect the nasal pharynx from the entry of food or liquid
Uvula and soft palate
Lowermost portion of the pharynx
Laryngipharynx
Forms the Adam’s apple and is a portion of the larynx
Thyroid cartilage
Lies below Adam’s apple and provides structure for the airway and it’s a part of the larynx
Cricoid cartilage
Produce sound and involved in speech and divide upper and lower airways
Vocal cords
