with mucous membranes
warms and moistens air as it
what do mucous membrane secrete?
and what do the mucous membrane do
secrete mucus
trap dust particles and bacteria

cilia
what do the cilia propel
and what does it allow
mucus toward the larynx
it allow the pt to swallow or expectorate
cough up and spit out
expectorate
where are Paranasal Sinuses located
-Maxillary, Frontal, Sphenoid, Ethmoid
Air filled cavities lined with mucous membranes, situated along the facial bones and nasal cavities
Paranasal Sinuses
what is Paranasal Sinuses ?
and what the do the sinus reduce ?
-Air filled cavities lined with mucous membranes, situated along the facial bones and nasal cavities
Sinuses Reduce weight of the skull, influence voice quality

5 inches long
it extend from Back of the mouth to esophagus
Passage way for moving air to lungs and food to esophagus

what do the pharynx is a passageway for what?
for moving air to the lung and food to the esophagus
the tonsil are part of what system
and where are the tonsil located
lymphatic system
in the Oropharynx
the adenoids are also part of what system

w/ breathing
what does the Epiglottis form and what does it do

what does the Epiglottis form and what does it do
a (flap or hinged door) of cartilage that covers the windpipe while swallowing
what does the larynx sits between
where are the vocal cord located
pharynx and trachea
are located in the larynx
what is the trachea made put of
cartilage
smooth muscle
connective tissue
what does the trachea is lined w/
and where do it extend to
it also called ? which do what
is lined w mucus membrane
and extend from the larynx to the bronchi
windpipe and carries air to the lung
when swallowing begins what closed and over what
what does this structure prevent and where is the food directed into where
and when swallowing reflex is weak or absent it put you for risk of
the epiglottis closes over the larynx
it prevent aspiration of food and secretion into the lung
-into the esophagus
aspiration
the space between the vocal cords in the larynx
and what is made up of
glottis
mucus membrane attached to the front and back of the larynx
When Air from lungs exiting through larnyx it causes
mouth, lip, tounge, and jaw movement make what ?
rapid opening/closing of glottis
air from glottis sound like speech sounds
where do the nose, pharynx, larynx and trachea of the (URS) air enter what
the left and right bronchi
which branches off the trachea
