section 4 micro Flashcards
functions of the respiratory system
air conduction gas exchange olfaction heat regulation acid-base homeostasis
what makes up the conduction system
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi
transitional system components
terminal bronchioles
gas exchange system components
respiratory bronchioles and alveoli
system that brings air into the respiratory portion
conducting system
system that cleanses, moistens, and warms incoming air
conducting system
what regulates temperature of inhaled air in the nasal cavity
blood in venous plexuses of the mucous membrane
traps particulate matter in the nasal cavity
hair and secretions
Is the conducting system ciliated or nonciliated cells
ciliated
consists exclusively of terminal bronchioles
transitional system
T/F
healthy bronchioles have goblet cells
FALSE they do not have goblet cells if they are healthy
thin walled structures enveloped by a rich network of capillaries
alveoli
what cells are alveoli lined by
type 1 and type 1 pneumocytes
what is the non-specific defense mechanism of the respiratory system
it is not immune mediated
mucous trapping, mucociliary clearance
phagocytosis
air turbulence
what is the specific defense mechanism of the respiratory system
this is immune mediated
antibody producing and antibody mediated phagocytosis
cell-mediated immunity
epithelium lining of the conducting system
pseudostratified ciliated columnar with secretory goblet cells and submucosal serous cells
nasal cavity epithelium
pseudostratified columnar with goblet cells
explain the lamina propria of the nasal cavity
contains many tubulo-alveolar glands that are mainly serous with lesser mucous and mixed glands
Bowmans glands
olfaction – odorant binding
olfactory epithelium contains ______
olfactory sensory cells
bone supported cavity within the skull divided by nasal cartilaginous septum into two halves
nasal cavity
three regions of each half of the nasal cavity
- vestibular
- respiratory
- olfactory
the initial and external part of the nasal cavity that has a cutaneous membrane and haired skin and glands
vestibular region
vestibular region epithelium
stratified squamous keratinized epithelium
