This passes to the upper side of the Larynx and connects to the Esophagus
Laryngopharynx
38
This is commonly referred to as the voicebox
LarynX
39
How big is the LarynX and what bone is it attached to?
About two inches Attached to the hyoid bone
40
What are the three main functions of the LarynX
- Provide an opening for air to reach the Lungs - Make sure food and air go to the correct passageways - Voice production
41
This closes over the top of the LarynX next during swallowing to direct food and liquids into the esophagus This is the uppermost cartilage
Epiglottis
42
This is the largest piece of cartilage and is also known as the Adams apple
Thyroid cartilage
43
Two pairs of folds that play no role in speech They Close the glottis which is the opening between the vocal cords, during swallowing to keep food and liquids out of the airway
Vestibular folds
44
produce sound when air passes over them
Vocal cords
45
This is the opening between the cords
Glottis
46
The flexible projection that extends from the base of the tongue Projects upward when breathing
Epiglottis
47
What does the lower respiratory system consist of?
Trachea Lungs Alveolar sacs Bronchi and bronchioles
48
Is commonly referred to as the windpipe
Trachea
49
How many inches long is the trachea and how many rings of cartilage is it supported by?
4 inches long 3/4 inch in diameter 16-20 cartilage rings
50
The trachea has cells that are lined with Cilia and secrete mucus What does the mucus and cilia do for the trachea?
The mucus traps in coming particles in the breeze The Cilia beat and push mucus up towards the throat
51
The trachea divides into the right and left primary bronchi. | Where does the primary bronchi enter the lungs?
The hilum
52
Once inside the lungs the primary bronchi divide into where?
Secondary bronchi
53
The secondary bronchi divide and branch further into where? Then divide and branch further eventually into what?
Tertiary bronchi Bronchioles and eventually terminal bronchioles
54
What is the C shaped rings of cartilage that encircled the trachea do for it?
It reinforces it and keeps it from collapsing during inhalation
55
The trachea extends from the LarynX next to a cartilage ridge called what?
Carnia
56
At the Carina the trachea branches into how many primary bronchi ?
Two Secondary Tertiary bronchi
57
This is the primary structure for gas exchange
Aveolar sacs
58
Bronchioles end into what? What does it look like?
Aveolar (air) sacs and aveoli Grape clusters
59
The exchange of air occurs through what membrane?
Respiratory membrane
60
What consists of the respiratory membrane?
Aveolar epithelium, the capillary endothelium, in their joint basement membranes
61
This part of the long is shorter brighter and larger than the other one
Right lung
62
The right lung has how many lobes?
Three The superior, middle, and inferior
63
What percent of the gas exchange does the right lung handle ?
55%
64
The right lung contains what two fissures?
Horizontal | Oblique fissures
65
The base of each long rest on what?
The diaphragm
66
The top or apex of each long extends about how many inches above the first rib?
.5 inches
67
How many lobes does the left lung contain and What is the reason for this?
Two | Because the heart extends towards the left lung
68
How many fissures does the left lung contain and what are they?
One -Oblique fissures
69
This is a thin connective tissue double layer covering around the lungs. What are the two layers ?
Pleurae | visceral and parietal
70
What does the fluid between the two layers of pleura do for the lungs? What is it called?
Called the pleural cavity Allows lungs to expand without friction. (Lubricates the surfaces ) Helps in the breathing mechanism (assists in lung inflation)
71
This pleura covers the surface of the lungs, extending into the fissures
Visceral pleura
72
This Pleura lines the entire thoracic cavity
Parietal pleura
73
This is referred to as breathing and consists of two phases?
Pulmonary ventilation Consists of two phases called inspiration and expiration
74
Breathing is a mechanical process that depends on what?
Volume changes in thoracic cavity that changes the pressure
75
At what point does air rush into the lungs?
When Air pressure inside of lungs become lower than external atmospheric air pressure
76
What happens when pressure inside becomes higher than external atmospheric pressure?
Air rushes out
77
This is the pressure exerted upon the body by gases surrounding the body
Atmospheric pressure
78
This is the pressure inside the lungs, specifically alveoli
Intrapulmonary pressure
79
Can thoracic volume increase and decrease?
Yes
80
The Lungs contain what tissue so they can stretch and then recoil back to their original size
Elastic tissue
81
For inspiration and expiration to occur there must be what changes to the lungs?
Volume changes to the lungs which causes pressure changes in the lungs (intrapulmonary pressure)
82
Volume change within the lungs is dependent on what muscles?
Respiratory muscle Diaphragm and intercostal muscles are primary
83
Inspiration These muscles pull the ribs upward and outward widening the thoracic cavity
External intercoastal
84
Inspiration Help elevate the ribs
Internal intercostals
85
Inspiration This contract flattens drops pressing the abdominal organs down ward and enlarging the thoracic cavity
Diaphragm
86
Expiration These muscles pull the ribs down word as the external intercostals relax
Internal intercoastal
87
Expiration This relaxes bulging upward and pressing against the base of the Longs reducing the size of the thoracic cavity Air is pushed out of the lungs
Diaphragm

For air to travel into the lungs the intrapulmonary pressure must become higher or lower than the atmospheric pressure?
Lower
89
The long volume must increase or decrease to reduce the overall pressure within the lungs?
Increase
90
What respiratory muscles create this increase volume?
Diaphragm and intercoastal muscles
91
When these muscles contract, they pull on the pleura of the lungs and cause the lung tissue to do what? This causes an increase or decrease of lung volume?
It causes the lung tissue to expand in the Thoracic cavity Causes an increase of lung volume
92
Where to travel out of the ones that intrapulmonary pressure must become higher or lower than the atmospheric pressure?
Higher
93
The respiratory muscles relax causing the ones to do what?
Recoil back to the original size
94
How is Air Force out of the lungs?
