Terms

undefined, object
copy deck
-phon
voice
eupnea
regular, normal breathing
thyroid cartilage
adam's apple located in lower part of larynx
-spiro
breathe
larynogopharynx
behind larynx
children respiration
40 minute
during inspiration
diaphragm contracts and thoracic cavity increases in volume
hyaline cartilage
supports walls of trachea, by holding it open, and preventing it form collapsing
Upper respiratory tract
nose, pharynx, larynx
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
bringing oxygen to cells and removing carbon dioxide from the body, production of sound.
medulla oblongata and pons
includes respiratory center of groups of neurons
cyan
blue
Nasal septum
divides nasal cavity into 2 parts
alveoli
tiny air sacs, thin tissue, permits rapid diffusion of 02 and c02 into and out of the circulatory system
pleura
smooth moist membrane that lines the chest cavity and covers surface of lung
Nose
bone, cartilage, nasal cavity- divided by nasal septum 2 parts, nostrils/anterior nares, sinuses
Nasopharynx
nose region of pharynx
External respiration
ventilation or breathing
pneumpthorax
build up of air in the pleural cavity on 1 side of the chest, causing the lung to collapse due to increased pressure
-ox
oxygen
facial bones
frontal sinus, ethmoidal sinus, sphenoidal sinus, maxillary sinus
-pnea
breathing
chemical control
faster and deeper respirations ordered by respiratory center in medulla oblongata when co2 accumulates in blood
glottis
opening between vocal cords
gastric acid
destroys most of microorganisms swallwed
inspiration
active phase of ventilation because it is result of muscle contaction
bronchi and bronchial tree
in medistinum the trachea divides into the right and left primary bronchi
True vocal cords
lower pair of 2 major folds in larynx,
normal tidal volume
500ml
trachea
windpipe
neural pathway of respiration
carry sensory impulses from the nose, larynx, lungs, skin, abdominal organs, via the vascus nerve in medullar
cardiac notch
indentention in left lung for apex of heart
Lower respiratory tract
trachea, bronchial tree, bronchioles, alveoli
pleuritis or pleurisy
inflammation of the pleura
respiration
involves physical and chemical processes, brings o2 to cells and removes co2 from body
pleur
pleura
expiration
process of letting air out of lungs, passive process involving relaxation of respiratory muscles,
surfactant
liproprotein that reduces surface tension inside alveoli so they do not adhere to each other and collapse
larynx
voice box, passageway for air between paharynx, and trachea, 9 cartilages connected to each other by muscles and ligaments
-phren
diaphragm, mind
phrenic nerves/motor nerves
lead to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles of ribs to move the thorax
adult respiration
12-20 min
tidal volume
measure lung capacity, amount of air moving in and out of lungs with each breath
-eu
good
compliance
lungs ability to change capacity as the size of the thoracic davity changes
decreased thoracic volume
when relaxation of diaphagm and elastic recoil of tissue, which increases intraalveolar pressure--- air flows out of lungs
Sinuses
warm moisten air, add resonance to voice
Air is moistened by
capillaries near surface in nose
bronchioles
thinner walls made of smooth muscle and elastic tissue, terminate in tiny air sacs called alveoli
left lung
longer and narrower than right, 2 lobes superior and inferior
Internal Respiration
exhange of gases bertween the tissue cells and the blood in teh capillariestissue cell s use o2 for metabolism and produce xo2 as a waste, co2 is carried in teh blood as bicarbonate (HCO3) in teh plasma and on robc's, bicarbonate deccomposes into water and carbon dioxide and is exhaled w/ water in the form of vapor
epiglottis
long leaf shaped structure that acts like trap door to larynx, keep food, foreign particles out
dcreased intraalveolar pressure
so air flows into lungs, atmospheric pressure lower in thoracic cavity than environment
surface tension
fluid molecultes attracted then adhere to each other, makes it harder to inflate lungs, and creates a tendency for lungs to collapse
plueral cavity prevents
friction and helps hold 2 layers together as lungs inflate and deflate
atel
incomplete
Air is warmed by
mucus
Conducting passages
nose, pharynx, larynx= ut, trachea, bronchial tree and lungs, bronchial tree= bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli
throat/pharynx
opens into larynx, espohagus, serves both respiratory and digestive systems by receiving air from nasal cavity and air, food, and water from oral cavity
bicarbonate
HCO3
oropharynx
mouth region of pharynx
plueral cavity
space between the parietal and visceral pleura, contains thin film of serous fluid produced by the pleura,
right bronchus
shorter, wider, and more vertical than left because of this, foreign particles tend to enter it more frequently
bronchial tree
after bronchi enter lungs, branch several times into smaller and smaller passages
Cilia
filters air, propels mucus w/ trapped particles toward pharynx, where it is swallowed
point of attachments for lungs
hilum or root on medial side. where bronchi, blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves enter lungs
lungs
separated from each other by medistinum, which contains the heart
mediastimum
space between the lungs which divides into right and left bronchi
thoracentesis
procedure done to alleviate pressure from increased pleural fluid, by draining the fluid from the chest
-bronch
bronchus
Negative pressure
helps keep lungs expanded
diaphragm
large dome shaped muscle that separates thoracic and abdominal cavities, primary muscle involved in inspiration
trachea extends from
larynx into mediastinum
parietal pleura
lline chest cavity, and wall of thorax
-lob
lobe
Pharynx
throat, base of skull to level of 6th cervical vertebrae
carotid arteries and aorta
have chemoreceptors that are sensitive to o2 levels
right lung
shorter broader and has greater volume than the left, 3 lobes, superior, middle, inferior
external respiration consists
of inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation), cexchange of o2 and co2 between the environment and lungs, o2 fiffuses from alveoli into blood and co2 diffuses from blood into air in alveoli
Naterior nares
air enters nasal cavity from outside through 2 openings called nostrils or
goblet cells
in mucous membrane produce mucus that traps microorganisms, dust and other foreign nparticles
Cellular respiration
oxidation, o2 enters cell and gives off energy in from of ATP, heat, and H20, produces CO2 as a waste
visceral pleura
firmly attached to surface of lungs
phrenic nerves/motor nerves
lead to diaphragm and intercostals muscles of the ribs to move thorax
