Respiration Flashcards
Anterior (ventral)
in front of the sternum is on the anterior surface of the body
Posterior (dorsal)
in the back of the vertebrae are on the posterior surface of the body
Anatomy
The study of the structure of organisms and the relations of their parts
Physiology
Science dealing with the function of living organisms
Superior-Cranial aka Cephalic
toward the head - high the eyebrows are cranial to the eye
Inferior (caudal)
: away from the head -low The mouth is caudal to the nose
Medial
toward the midline of the body Ex. The sternum is medial to the arm
Lateral
away from the midline of the body Ex. The hip is on the lateral surface of the body
Proximal:
If you take something specific as your point of reference: Your finger is more distal to your shoulder than your elbow. Your hip is more proximal to your diaphragm than your small toe In anatomy, either the central plane of the body or the torso are considered the central sites of reference for proximal vs.distal. And these terms are most often used with regard to the limbs (arms, hands; legs, feet). So the forearm is proximal to the hand and distal to the arm—in anatomical terms.
Distal
If you take something specific as your point of reference: Your finger is more distal to your shoulder than your elbow. Your hip is more proximal to your diaphragm than your small toe In anatomy, either the central plane of the body or the torso are considered the central sites of reference for proximal vs.distal. And these terms are most often used with regard to the limbs (arms, hands; legs, feet). So the forearm is proximal to the hand and distal to the arm—in anatomical terms.
Superficial (external)
located close or on the body surface Ex. The skin is superficial to the muscles
Deep (internal)
Further beneath the body surface Ex. The muscles are deep to the skin
Coronal
divides the body into anterior and posterior portions

The cell
The basic structural and functional unit of all living things
The cell
Highly organized masses of protoplasm (semifluid gel that consists of protein, CHO, Lipids, Nucleic acids and inorganic materials dispersed in water
cells
100 trillion______ in the human body
metabolism
use of food and oxygen to build or repair tissue
Every cell is surrounded by a plasma membrane and is divided into two regions, these are:
The nucleus and cytoplasm
The nucleus of a cell contains
Chromatin (genetic information) and ribosomes
The cytoplasm of a cell is composed of:
composed of organelles (specialized structures) suspended in fluid
Mitochondria
Production of energy
Ribosomes
protein synthesis within the cell
Lysosomes
Digest bacteria
Endoplasmic Reticulum
forms the structural matrix of the cytoplasm
Mitochondria (organelle)
Production of energy
Ribosomes (organelle)
protein synthesis within the cell
Lysosomes (organelle)
Digest bacteria
Endoplasmic Reticulum (organelle)
forms the structural matrix of the cytoplasm
Golgi Complex (Apparatus)
Packaging proteins and lipids for use inside and outside the cell (temporary storage)•
centrosome
cell division
Colonies of cells combined together in such a manner as to exhibit functional unity
Tissue
The five types of tissue are
Epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous, and vascular
Epithelial Tissue
The cells of epithelium form sheetsthatcoverthe externalsurfaces of the body and line the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular and urogenital systems
Connective Tissue
Connects and binds the structures together•Supports the body systems
Loose connective tissue
found beneath the skin
Dense connective tissue
tendons/ligaments
Specialized connective tissue
cartilage/bone
Two types of loose connective tissue are
Areolar and Adipose
Areolar connective tissue (loose connective tissue)
forms the “bed” for skin and mucous membranes, found almost everywhere in the body
Adipose connective tissue (loose connective tisue)
Similar to areolar, but has high concentration of fat cells, found beneath the skin (subcutaneous fascia)
Dense Connective Tissue describe and name three types
Collagenous + elastic fibers
three types are Tendons Ligaments and aponeurosis
Special Connective Tissue
has a structural function ex, cartilage, bone
Cartilage (except in joints)is covered by
Covered by a tough fibrous membrane called perichondrum
Cartilage is found in three forms
Hyaline, Fibrocartilage and Elastic cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage( describe)
Extremely strong and somewhat unmovable
Hyaline Cartilage( describe blood supply)
Poor blood supply
Hyaline Cartilage susceptible to:
Susceptible to ossification ( calcification)
Hyaline Cartilage(importance)
Very important in studying the speech mechanism
Hyaline cartilage found in
nose, flexible ends of ribs, surfaces of bones at joints, cartilages in the larynx (thyroid and cricoid)
Fibrocartilage(describe)
Very strong and dense
Fibrocartilage forms:
capsules of joints some ligaments and intervertebral discs
Elastic cartilage (describe)
Highly flexible •Rubbery in consistency
Elastic cartilage (describe ossification)
Ossification rarely occurs
Elastic cartilage found in:
epiglottis-
a flap of cartilage at the root of the tongue, which is depressed during swallowing to cover the opening of the windpipe.
(pinna)- corniculate cartilages of the external part of the ear
arytenoids (larynx)
Bone(describe)
The most important supporting structure of the body•Hard: not flexible like cartilages
All bones are surrounded by a tough fibrous membrane called
Periosteum
Bones are classified by shape, name three types
Long bones, short bones and flat bones
Long bones:
found in the arms and legs
short bones
found in the fingers
flat bones:
found in the skull, shoulder blades, and pelvic girdle
Joints(definition)
A joint is the meeting of two or more bones whether there is movement or not
Joints are classified according to(two things
the presence or absence of an articulatory space ( between the two articulating bones) -
type of connective tissue between the articulating bones
Fibrous Joints do not have
articulatory space
Fibrous Joints do not have
articulatory space
Fibrous Joints : Bones are connected by..
fibers
Immobile joints are what kind of joints
Fibrous joints
Example of fibrous joints
Example: sutures in the skull
Cartilaginous Joints do not have
Do not have articulatory space
Bones are connected by a
cartilaginous disc
Cartiliginous joints are slightly
Slightly mobile
Example of cartilaginous Joints
intervertebral discs slide 38
Synovial joints
- Contain an articulatory space
- Bones are connected by a fibrous capsule
- Highly mobile
- Example: knee joint
Types of Synovial joints
Ball and socket - consists of a rounded ball like end of a bone that fits into a cup like cavity in another bone
Movable around a great number of axes
Examples: hip joint and shoulder joint
Hinge joint
Type of synovial joint that permits movement in one plane(flexion and extension) example elbow joint
Ellipsoid condyloid joint
Type of synovial joint, oval shaped articulate facet that fits into an elliptical shaped cavity, permits movement in all directions except rotation, example temporary mandibular joint.
Striated muscle tissue
Skeletal, often called voluntary muscle, attachments mainly to the skeletal system, supplied by PNS peripheral nervous system,
Smooth muscle tissue
Visceral involuntary organs such as stomach and intestines, blood vessels and bronchial tubes, autonomic nervous system.
Cardiac muscle tissue
Found only in the heart
Smallest functional unit of the muscle tissue
Muscle cell
Muscle cell is the same as
Muscle fiber
Muscle fibers
Long slender multinucleated cell
Muscle does two activities
Contracts or shortens and relaxes or returns to original position
A sudden large change in cell polarity that causes a wave of depolarization
Action Potential
Molecules inside the muscle fiber which control contractions
Myosin and actin
Energy source added during muscle contraction so that Myosin and Actin can react, ATP comprises the basic contractile mechanism
ATP produced by Mitochondria
All of none law
Each fiber contracts maximally or none at all
Muscle tone
Constant muscle contraction, always on
Isometric contraction
Contracts a muscle, tension changes and length does not(because of sliding activity of Myosin and Actin.)
Isotonic contraction
Muscle shortens upon contraction but tension does not change( because of sliding activity of myosin and actin)
Place of attachment of a muscle which remains fixed during contraction
Origin
Area of attachment of muscle to bone, it moves more flexible
Insertion
Contraction
Decreases the distance between origin and insertion
Agonist
Muscles that work together
Antagonist
Muscles which produce opposite movement
Synergist
Contracts with agonist to stabilize movement.
Bone
Lever
Muscle
Force
Joint
Fulcrum
Nervous tissue
•large group of highly specialized cells
extremely important to speech production
CNS–tissue is vital to origin of motor output , when damaged can’t regenerate, replaced by nonneuronal (scar) tissue
•PNS–can regenerate, spontaneously recove
Organs
•when two or more tissues combine in such a manner as to exhibit functional unity.•performs a special function•various types of tissue with one form predominating •examples: lungs, larynx, tongue
How many systems are there in the human body?
Eleven
Name the important five for this class discussion
Skeletal - bones and cartilage Articular - joints and ligaments Muscular - : body tissue consisting of long cells that contract when stimulated and produce motion, Nervous- brain and spinal chord Respiratory - air passageways and lungs Digestive - Vascular- heart and blood Urinary Reproductive Endocrine Interaugmentary
Respiration function
Biological function- exchanging gas in the body
Speech function - power supply to stimulate and vibrate vocal chords.
Respiration
Process of exchanging gas in the body, red blood cells give up carbon dioxide and take on new oxygen.
Inhalation
Air is taken through respiratory track through lungs and held there until oxygen replaces carbon dioxide.
