Chapter 23 Flashcards
____ are respiratory tracts that move air from atmosphere to alveoli and back.
air passageway
_______ is where oxygen diffuses from alveoli into blood and carbon dioxide diffuses from blood to alveoli.
site for oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange
The olfactory receptors are located in the superior region of the nasal cavity and are responsible for _____.
detection of odors
Vocal cords are responsible for sound production and sinuses for sound ____.
resonation
The _____ zone consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles (nose to end of terminal bronchioles). These structures form a continuous passageway for air to move in and out of the lungs.
conducting
The ____ zone consists of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli. The area contains structures that participate in gas exchange with the blood.
respiratory
____ is produced by the mucous and serous glands located in the lamina propria of respiratory mucosa (and goblet cells).
mucus
4 components of mucus
- mucin
- lysozyme
- defensins
- immunoglobins
_____ is protein that increases mucus viscosity; which traps more inhaled dust, dirt particles, microorganisms and pollen.
mucin
____ are the antibacterial enzyme contained in mucus.
lysozymes
____ are the antimicrobial proteins in mucus.
defensins
______ are a component of mucus.
immunoglobins - IgA
____ region contains olfactory epithelium.
olfactory region
The superior region in the nasal cavity is called the _____ region.
olfactory
Airborne chemicals dissolve in mucus to simulate ____ receptors in the olfactory region.
olfactory
_____ region has extensive vascular network.
respiratory
Because the respiratory region has an extensive vascular network, nosebleeds are common due to the superficial nature, referred to as _____.
epistaxis
_____ is immediately internal to the nostrils.
nasal vestibule
The nasal vestibule is immediately internal to nostrils which contain course hairs called ______ to trap large particulates.
vibrissae
______ are composed of elastic connective tissue which extends from thyroid cartilage to arytenoid cartilages.
vocal ligaments
Vocal ligaments covered in mucosa form ______.
vocal folds
____ also extend from thyroid cartilage to arytenoid cartilages, and to the corniculate cartilages.
vestibular ligaments
Vestibular ligaments covered with mucosa form ______.
vestibular folds
Skeletal muscles within the larynx cause ____ cartilages to pivot resulting in a change to the dimension of the rim glottides.
arytenoid
