Respiratory system
Anatomy II, EXCI 254
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the shared pathway with the digestive system? | pharynx |
components of respiratory system | Nose / pharynx / larynx / trachea / Bronchi / Lungs |
To bring air from outside to the lungs, for the lungs to outside environment | Ventilation |
Exchange of gases between, air, blood and cells | Respiration (external/internal) |
Exchange of air from alveoli to pulmonary capillaries | External respiration (+ O2 in blood) |
Exchange of gases from systemic capillaries to tissue cells | Internal respiration (+CO2 in blood) |
components of conducting portion | nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles |
Function of conducting portion | warm, clean and moisten air |
Components of respiratory portion | respiratory bronchioles, alveolar sacs, alveoli |
bones of nose | frontal, nasal, ethmoid, vomer, maxilla |
nasal cartilages | septal, nasal, alar |
Between choanae and nose | eustachian tube |
where are olfactory receptors? | membrane lining of superior nasal concha |
limits of pharynx | internal nares, cricoid cartilage |
3 regions of pharynx | nasopharynx / oropharynx / laryngopĥarynx |
muscular layers of pharynx | outer circular layer / inner longitudinal layer |
Where are tonsils located? | Pharynx |
openings of posterior nasal cavity | 2 internal nares / 2 openings from Eustachian tube / entrance to oropharynx |
limits of oropharynx | soft palate to hyoid bone |
Between fauces | Uvula |
Swallowing mechanism | uvula moves superiorly |
Contains 2 pairs of tonsils | palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils |
limits of laryngopharynx | hyoid bone to cricoid cartilage |
Composition of epiglottis | epithelial tissue covered in cartilage |
Voice box | Larynx |
location of larynx | anterior to C4-C6 |
cartilages of larynx | Thyroid / Cricoid / Epiglottis / Arythenoid / Corniculate / Cuneiform |
Vocal folds | True vocal cords |
Ventricular folds | False vocal cords |
Space between ventricular folds | Vestibule |
Inferior to larynx | Trachea |
anterior to esophagus | Trachea |
Location of trachea | from larynx to T5 |
Layers of trachea | Mucosa / Submucosa / Hyaline cartilage / Adventitia |
level of Carina | T5 |
Secondary bronchi are made of | Lobar bronchi |
# of lobar bronchi of right lung | 3 |
# of lobar bronchi of left lung | 2 |
Tertiary bronchi made of | Segmental bronchi |
Composition of tertiary bronchi | no cartilage, smooth muscle |
Components of respiratory unit | Terminal bronchiole Respiratory Bronchiole Alveolar Duct Alveoli |
location of parietal pleura | T10 |
encloses lungs | Double serous layered pleural membrane |
folding of parietal/visceral layer | pulmonary ligament |
structures in root of lung | bronchi, nerves, lymph, pulmonary vessels |
limits of pleural cavity | 6th costal cartilage to 12th rib |
space that extends vertically | costodiaphragmatic space |
space that extends horizontally | costomediastinal space |
layers of lungs | serous coat / subserous coat / parenchyma |
components of a lobule | alveolar duct, alveoli, vessels, lymph, nerves |
divides superior and middle lobe | horizontal fissure of right lung |
component of pulmonar lobe | secondary bronchus |
component of secondary bronchus | 10 tertiary bronchi |
component of bronchopulmonary segment | lobule |
surface area of alveoli | 70 m2 |
main site of gas exchange | Type I cells |
secrete alveolar fluid | Type II cells |
supply pulmonary circulation | Bronchial arteries |
Bronchial arteries branch from | Thoracic aorta Intercostal arteries |
Azygos vein divides into | right bronchial vein |
Accessory hemiazygos vein divides into | left bronchial vein |
Muscles of inspiration | Diaphragm External intercostals |
Insertion of diaphragm | central tendon |
Innervation of diaphragm | Phrenic nerve (C3-C5) |
Accessory muscles of inspiration | sternocleidomastoid Scalenes Pectoralis minor |
muscles of forced expiration | Abdominal muscles Internal intercostals Innermost Intercostals Subcostals Transversus Thoracis obliques |
inflammation of mucous membranes | common cold |
allergic reaction to pollen or dust | Hay fever |
allergic reaction plugs up bronchioles | Asthma |
chronic inflammation of bronchial tree from bacterial infection | Bronchitis |
Bacilli infection that destroys lung tissue | Tuberculosis |
progressive decrease in ability to exchange gas | Emphysema |
Virus, secretes fibrinous exudate | Pneumonia |
Infection of pleura | Pleurisy |
conducting airways of lower respiratory tract | larynx, trachea, bronchi |
innervated by ANS | bronchial tree lungs trachea |
form roof of nasal cavity | nasal bone cribriform plate frontal bone sphenoid bone |
form nasal cavity floor | horizontal plate of palatine bone palatine process of maxillae |
bronchopulmonary segment = | segmental bronchus + pulmonary a. and v. |
