Respiratory
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What does the nasal cavity provide? | warmth, moisture, filter, hair to catch particles. |
What are the parts of the nasal cavity ? | Conchae and Meatus |
What are sinuses | Air filled spaces in maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones |
Functions of sinuses | Reduces skull weight, Resonance chambers for voice, Help humidify and heat air entering the body. |
Pharynx | "Throat" |
3 parts of the pharynx | nasopharynx, oropharnynx, laryngopharynx |
What are Eustachian tubes? | auditory tubes that connect the internal ear to the pharynx open into the nasopharynx. |
What part is at the base of the tongue? | Lingual |
Where is the palatine located? | oropharynx |
Larynx | Voice box |
What part is between the pharynx and trachea? | Larynx |
Includes the epiglottis, thyroid cartilage and cricoid carilage. | Larynx |
Anterior to esophagus | Trachea "Windpipe" |
C-shaped cartilage rings for protection, keeps it from collapsing | Tracea |
Distal or inferior to trachea | Bronchi |
Allows air into left and right lung | Bronchi |
Secondary bronchi- | 3 on the right side, 2 on the left side |
this is where gas exchange between the blood and the air begins | Respiratory |
Where gas exchange occurs | Alveoli |
How many layers of of epithelium does the Alveoli have? | 1 |
Surrounded by Pleural membrane | Lungs |
Visceral Pleural | Closest to the lung |
Parietal Pleura | outer membrane |
the space in between the two layers. Filled with pleural fluid | Pleural cavity |
Due to sinuses in the cranial bones | Resonance |
Blood becomes oxygenated in the _________ of the lungs | alveoli |
Oxygenated blood travels back to the heart by the ________ vein. | pulmonary |
Stimulated by phrenic nerve | Inspiration |
Diaphragm moves down | Inhale |
Forced inhalation uses accessory muscles | External Intercostals, Pectoralis major and minor, Sternocleidomastoid and Scalenes |
Exhalation is mostly.... | passive |
Accessory Muscles for forced exhalation abdominal muscles, internal intercostals. | Used during heavy breathing, exercise, coughing, straining, vomiting |
Autoregulation | pH, Temp, Oxygen, CO2 |
Voluntary control | Motor neurons innervate respiratory muscles |
Involuntary control | by the respiratory center in the brainstem ( medulla and pons). Respond to levels of 02, C02 and H+ in the blood. |
External respiration | Gas exchange between alveoli (external air) and blood vessels within the alveoli |
Internal respiration | Gas exchange between blood and cells of body |
RBCs carry 02 and CO2 | Hemoglobin binds oxygen and CO2 |
Steps of Respiration | External ->internal -> cellular -> internal -> external |
Spirometry | Measurement of air volumes |
Tidal volume | Amount of air to enter and leave in one respiratory cycle (Normal respiration) |
Inspiratory reserve volume | Amount of air in addition to resting tidal volume during forced maximum inspiration |
Expiratory reserve volume | Amount of air, in addition to tidal volume, that can be expelled from lungs |
Residual volume | Amount of air left in lungs even after forced exhalation |
Vital capacity | Inspiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume = x amount of air if take deepest breath possible |
Inspiratory capacity | Tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume = maximum volume a person can inhale following resting expiration |
Functional residual capacity | Expiratory reserve volume + residual volume = Volume of air remaining in lung after resting expiration |
Total lung capacity | Vital capacity + residual volume |
Functional residual capacity | Expiratory reserve volume + residual volume = Volume of air remaining in lung after resting expiration |
Total lung capacity | Vital capacity + residual volume = |
pnea | breathing |
Eupnea | normal breathing |
Dyspnea | Difficult, labored, or painful breathing |
Apnea | Cessation of breathing |
Tachypnea | Rapid breathing |
Non-respiratory air movements | Couch, sneeze, hiccup - they are spasms of the diaphram |
Shiatsu | Neurovascular holding points |
Neurovascular holding points | Shiatsu. Help relax and slow respiration. Anxiety, minor asthmatic reations, chronic respiratory disorders |
Help facilitate better gas exchange | All three respirations |
