respiratory theory Flashcards
(194 cards)
resp system functions
primary: oxygenate blood and excrete CO2
secondary: olfaction, phonation, temp regulation, regulation of blood pH
nose, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles are what component of resp system
conducting component
resp bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli are what component of resp system
respiratory component
larynx connects what to what
nasopharynx w trachea
what supports larynx
hyoid apparatus
describe hyoid apparatus
stylohyoid bone
epihyoid bone
keratohyoid bone
basihyoid bone (not paired)
thyrohyoid bone
tympanohyoid cartilage
functions of larynx
respiration
deglutition
assist olfaction
regulation of intrathoracic pressure
phonation
what pars of the hyoid apparatus is fused in horse
epihyoid and stylohyoid
basihyoid has what in horse
lingual process
4 main cartilages in larynx
- epiglottis (elastic)
- thyroid (hyaline)
- cricoid (hylaine)
- arytenoids (hyaline but cuneiform & corniculate process elastic)
also has interarytenoid but this is minor (hyaline)
describe the 4 processes in the arytenoid cartilage
- cuneiform process (rostral, elastic cartilage)
- corniculate process (dorsal, horn, elastic cartilage)
- muscular process (lateral)
- vocal process (ventral)
in horse the cuniform process of the larynx is on the _____ not on the arytenoids
epiglottis
describe the larynx during inspiration
Larynx open, epiglottis point rostrally, tip sits on soft palate
describe larynx during swallowing
GIT is dorsal so soft palate elevated, whole larynx actually moved forward to close and epiglottis stays where it is (but it does fold back)
adams apple is what cartilage
thyroid cartilage
3 articulations in larynx
- cricothyroid
- cricoarytenoid
- throhyoid
ligaments of larynx
- 7:
- cricothyroid
- cricotracheal
- vocal (thyroid to vocal process)
- vestibular (thyroid to cuneiform process)
- transverse arytenoid
- thyroepiglottic
- hyoepiglottic
(cold tinnies are happily engulfed)
paired mucosal folds in larynx
- vestibular fold
- vocal folds
- aryepiglottic fold
glottis is space between
vocal folds
lateral ventricle of larynx
blind ending pocket in lateral wall of larynx, provides space on other side of vocal fold so they have space to vibrate and make noise
laryngeal mucosa what kind of epithelium
stratified squamous rostral to vocal folds
–> pseudostratified columnar ciliated caudally
4 sections of laryngeal cavity
- aditus laryngis : entrance
- vestibule: from aditus to vocal folds, includes vestibular folds and lateral ventricle
- rima glottidis: vocal folds and vocal process
- infraglottic cavity: continuous w trachea
larynx extrinsic muscles that move larynx rostrally
- throhyoid m
- hyoepiglottic m
- geniohyoid m
extrinsic muscle that moves larynx caudally
sternothyroid m
