Q

Uvula

A

Back of tongue

16
Q

what does sinuses and voice have to do with each other

A

Shape and size of sinuses are major contributor to sound of voice

17
Q

Laryngitis

A

Inflammation of vocal cords

18
Q

Endoscope

A

Goes down trachea to stomach

19
Q

How is sound production still possible when having larynx removal

A

Swallowing air into esophagus —> vibrate

20
Q

The 4 para nasal sinuses

A

Ethmoidal, frontal, sphenoidal, and maxillary

21
Q

What are para nasal sinuses

A

“Next to NC”
Air-filled spaces lined with mucous membrane
Continuous with nasal cavity

22
Q

Sinus headache

A

Blocked drainage in paranasal sinuses–> buildup of fluid (infection/allergies) causes pressure = sinus headache

23
Q

Tissue layers of trachea

A

Outside- hyaline cartilage
Middle- ciliated epithelium
Inside- lumen
Posterior- connective tissue and smooth muscle

24
Q

Function of sinuses

A

Reduce weight of skull; resonant chambers

25
Q

Pharynx

A

Passageway for air moving from NC to larynx and for food moving from oral cavity to esophagus

26
Q

Bronchial tree

A

Branched tubes that lead from trachea to alveoli; conducts air to alveoli

27
Q

What skeletal muscles are involved in breathing

A

Intercostals (btwn the ribs) innervated by: intercostal nerves

And

diaphragm innervated by: phrenic nerve

28
Q

Receptor influence to increase inspiration

A

Medulla oblongata responds to increase in pressure, CO2!!!!, or lowered pH.

Peripheral chemoreceptors
Carotid bodies
Aortic bodies

29
Q

Atmospheric pressure

A

760 mm Hg

30
Q

When our diaphragm is relaxed the pressure …

A

Is the same as atmospheric pressure (760mm Hg)

31
Q

Inspiration

A

Lowers pressure inside thoracic cavity to let air rush in
