Pearson respiratorry system Flashcards
major function of resp system
supply body with O2
dispose of CO2
4 processes collectively called respiration
- pulmonary ventilation
- external respiration
- transport of respiratory gases
- internal respiration
ventilation
air in and out lung
inspiration & expiration
external respiration
O2 diffuse from lung to blood
CO2 from tissue cells to lung
transport of respiratory gases
O2 from lung to tissue cells
CO2 from tissue cells to lung
blood is the transporting fluid
internal respiration
O2 diffuse from blood to tissue cell
Co2 from tissue cells to blood
respiratory system includes
nasal cavity nose paranasal sinuses pharynx larynx trachea bronchi with their smaller branches lungs with alveoli
upper resp system
nose to larynx !. nose 2. nasal cavity 3. paranasal sinuses 4. pharynx 5. larynx
lower resp system
larynx and structures below it !. larynx 2. trachea 3. bronchi and smaller branches 4. lungs and alveoli
key functions of the nose
provides airway for resp moisten and warm entering air filter and clean entering air resonating chamber for speech houses olfactory receptors
root of nose
area betw eyebrows
dorsum nasi
anterior margin
apex
tip of the nose
skin in lateral and anterior aspect
thin
contains many sebaceous glands
internal nasal cavity
lies in and posterior to the external nose
nasal septum formed
anteriorly by the septal cartilage
posteriorly by the vomer bone
choanae
posterior nasal apertures
roof of nasal cavity is formed
ethmoid and sphenoid bones of the skull
floor of nasal cavity formed
palate
palate
separates nasal cavity from the oral cavity
hard palate
anterior bit
supported by palatine bones & processes of maxillary bones
soft palate
posterior bit
unsupported
muscular
nasal vestibule
part of nasal cavity
superior to nostrils
lined with skin
skin contains sebaceous glands and numerous hair follicles
vibrissae
filter coarse particles
