18
Q

Cilia

A

Drives debris-laden mucus into pharynx to be swallowed

19
Q

Nosebleed

A

Spontaneous epistaxis

20
Q

Nasopharynx

A

Receives auditory tubes and contains pharyngeal tonsil

21
Q

Oropharynx

A

Space between soft palate and root of the tongue

Goes down to the hyoid bone

22
Q

Laryngopharynx

A

Hyoid bone to cricoid cartilage

23
Q

Glottis

A

Superior opening of the larynx

24
Q

Epiglottis

A

Flap of tissue that guards the glottis, directs food and drink to the esophagus

25
Vestibular Folds of Larynx
Superior pair, close glottis during swallowing
26
Vocal Cords
Produce sound
27
Intrinsic Muscles
Rotate corniculate and arytenoid cartilages, which adducts (high pitch) or abducts (low pitch) vocal cords
28
Extrinsic Muscles
Connect larynx to hyoid bone | Elevates the larynx during swallowing
29
Trachea
Rigid tube 4.5in long and 2.5in in diameter Lined with ciliated pseudostratified epithelium Adjusts air flow by expanding or contracting
30
Primary Bronchi
Arise from trachea | Right slightly wider
31
Secondary Bronchi
Branches into one secondary bronchus for each lobe
32
Tertiary Bronchi
10 on the right, 8 on the left
33
Bronchioles
Have layer of smooth muscles | Lack cartilage
34
Pulmonary Lobule
Portion ventilated by one bronchiole
35
Terminal Bronchiole
Has cilia, gives off two or more respiratory bronchioles
36
Respiratory Bronchioles
Where gas exchange occurs
37
Alveolar Ducts
End in alveolar sacs
38
Alveoli
Bud from respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveolar sacs
39
Type 1 Alveolar Cells
Simple squamous cells where gas exchange occurs
40
Type 2 Alveolar Cells
Septal cells | Secrete alveolar fluid containing surfactant
41
Alveolar Dust Cells
Wandering macrophages that remove debris
42
Alveolar Membrane
Alveolar epithelial, basement membrane, alveolar endothelial
43
Bronchial Arteries
Branch off of the aorta to supply oxygenated blood to lung tissue
44
Venous Drainage
Returns all blood to the heart
