Exam 3 Flashcards
Respiration
Entire process of exchanging gases between the atmosphere and body cells
Ventilation
Breathing, moving of air in and out of the lungs
Inhalation
Movement of air into the lungs
Exhalation
Movement of air out of the lungs
External respiration
Exchange of gases between air and the alveoli/ lung and the blood
Internal respiration
Exchange of gases between the blood and the cells
Cellular respiration
Produces energy used by the body cells from glucose and oxygen and creates CO2 as a waste product
What parts make up the upper respiratory system?
Nasal cavity
Oral cavity
Pharynx
Larynx
What parts make up the lower respiratory system?
Trachea
Lungs
-left and right bronchus
Diaphragm
What is the nasal cavity made up of?
Conchae
Septum
Nostril
Nasal meatuses
Conchae
Ridges on the side of your nose
Septum
Cartilage between nostrils
Nostril
Opening
Nasal meatus
Grooves between the conchae
What are the functions of the nose/ nAsil cavity
- warms and moistens the air
- has hair to filter large particles
- mucous membrane produces mucus to trap small particles and potential pathogens
- olfactory receptors for smell
What are the sinuses
Frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, maxillary
What is the function of our sinuses
- Produce mucus
- reduces weight of the skull
- serves as a resonant chamber that affects the voice
Oral cavity and pharynx
Both are air passages in the respiratory system and both are food path ways in the digestive system
Nasopharynx
Part of the throat associated with nasal cavity
Oropharynx
Near the palatine tonsil
Laryngopharynx
In the throat
Rhinitis
Homeostatic imbalance of upper respiratory system aka cold
Larynx
Attaches to the hyoid bone, opens into the laryngopharynx, continues with the trachea
What Are the functions of the larynx
- provides patent airway
- routes air and food into proper channels
- voice production
- houses the vocal folds
