are air filled spaces around the nose
46
Pharynx is divided into three parts
Nasopharynx Oropharynx Laryngopharynx
47
nasopharynx
upper portion, located behind nose
48
oropharynx
middle portion, located behind mouth
49
laryngopharynx
lower portion, behind larynx
50
pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids)
Located in the nasopharynx are 2 rounded masses of lymphatic tissue these are the
51
palatine tonsils
tonsils are in the oropharynx.
52
glottis
The space between vocal cords is called
53
trachea or windpipe
Air passes from the larynx into It. Extends from larynx in the neck and divides into the bronchi in the chest
54
Trachea branches into 2 tubes
Bronchi, bronchus for singular
55
bronchioles
Each bronchus leads to separate lung and divides and subdivides into smaller tubes they look like tree and are called bronchial tree
56
Alveoli (singular = alveolus)
are very small grapelike structures, they allow gas exchange between lungs and blood
57
Parietal pleura
membrane attached to ribs
58
Visceral pleura
membrane attached to lung
59
pleural space
pleural cavity is the space between these 2 membranes (Parietal pleura & Visceral pleura).
60
Pleurodynia
Pain (due to inflammation) of pleura (or intercostal muscle).
61
Pleural effusion
Fluid from blood or lymph vessels draining into the pleural cavity.
62
Right lung has 3 lobes:
1. superior, 2. middle and 3. inferior
63
Left lung has 2 lobes:
1. superior, 2. inferior
64
mediastinum
The space between lungs. contains the heart, aorta, trachea, esophagus, and bronchi
65
Diaphragm (phren/o)
It is the muscle that separates the thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity. • It is for breathing.  Phrenic = phren / ic  pertaining to diaphragm
