Respiratory Flashcards
(38 cards)
external respiration
gas exchange between lungs and blood
internal respiration
gas exchange between blood and tissues
function respiratory system
respiration
blood ph regulation
sound production
olfaction/ smell
protection - cilia
divisions
structural - upper & lower
functional - conducting ( nose to terminal bronchioles) & respiratory (respiratory bronchioles, alveolar duct & alveoli)
nasal cavity new bits
conchae s m i
meatuses s m i
increase SA, create turbulence allowing temp regulate
pharynx parts
choana - nasal cavity to nasophyarynx
nasopharynx - choana to uvula
oropharynx - uvula to epiglottis (join air food)
laryngopharynx - epiglottis to esophagus
larynx
voice box
between pharynx and trachea
made of 9 cartilages
3 unpaired - thyroid/adam (big shield), cricoid, epiglottis
3 paired - arytenoid, corniculate, cuneiform
ligaments/ vocal cord
true vocal cords
false/ vestibular vocal cords
opening between is glottis
trachea
tough but flexible
10-12cm long, 2 cm diameter
15-20 C shape hyaline cartilage rings w smooth muscle in-between
carina
where trachea separates into broncus
tracheobronchial tree parts
primary/ main
secondary/ lobar 2 left 3 right
tertiary/ segmental 10 each side
bronchioles
terminal bronchioles
16 generations
lobes
right - superior middle inferior
left - superior inferior
tracheobronchial tree change
decrease passageway diameter
decrease cartilage - rings –> irregular cartilage plates –> elastic fibres
increase in smooth muscle
change in epithelium - pseudo stratified columnar –> simple ciliated cuboidal epithelium
respiratory alveoli
on the branches
very few
hilum
indentation on medial surface, entry/exit point
alveoli two type epithelium
pnuemocytes
type 1 simple squamous - gas exchange
type 2 simple cuboidal - secrete alveolar fluid and surfactant (like detergent)
dust cells alveoli
alveolar macrophages
remove fine dust and debris
respiratory membrane
3 layers 0.5/1 micrometers~
alveolar epithelium,
fused alveola and capillary basement membrane
capillary endothelium
diffusion coefficient
how easily a gas can diffuse out of a liquid
relative number
oxygen exchange in body
external: alveoli to blood
internal: blood to tissues
co2 exchange in body
external: blood to alveoli
internal: tissues to blood
active breathing
muscles inhalation
diaphragm
external intercostal muscles
scalene muscle
pectoralis minor
sternocleidomastoid
active breathing
muscles exhalation
relax inspiratory muscles
elastic recoil of lungs, surface tension
internal intercostal
abs
inspiratory capacity
the amount of air a person can inspire maximally after normal expiration
tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume
