QuestionAnswer
List the functions of the respiratory system Supply O2 to the cells of the body and eliminate Co2 from the body, produce sounds for vocalization (speaking), help with sense of smell, and acid-base balance
breathing in inspiration
breathing out expiration
Which involves gas transfer between air and blood? external respiration
Which involves gas transfer between blood and cells?: internal respiration
short/tight cords= high pitch
loose/long cords= low pitch
what is the flap that covers trachea? epiglottis
Identify the organs forming the respiratory passageway(s) in descending order until you reach the alveoli Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree: bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, and lungs: alveoli
Which includes inspiration and expiration? pulmonary ventilation
Which tubes can do gas exchange? Respiratory bronchioles, alveoli, alveolar ducts
Conducting passageway Air is purified, warmed, cleansed and humidified. Carry air into and out of the body but are NOT involved in gas exchange
Respiratory passageway Are used for gas exchange with the blood
What parts of the body is in conducting passageway? nose, trachea, larynx, pharynx, bronchi, bronchioles and terminal bronchioles
What parts of the body is in respiratory passageway? Alveoli, alveolar ducts, and respiratory bronchioles
Air enters through holes called nostrils
The ridges are called conchae
The spaces between the ridges are called meatus
What happens to air as it passes through the nose? It gets moistened and warmed
How does the air get humidified? There is mucus that lines the concha that humidifies the air
How does the air get warmed? There are blood vessels under the concha which warm the air
What is present in the nose that can trap pathogens? mucus from goblet cells
What is present in the nose that can kill pathogens? lysosomes and defensins secreted by epithelial cells
Name two non-respiratory functions of nose. chambers for speech, location of olfactory receptors for sense of smell
The back of the nose is called the: nasopharynx
The back of the mouth is called the: oropharynx
The back of the larynx is called the: laryngopharynx
What is the shield shaped piece of cartilage called? thyroid cartilage
What is the ring of cartilage under the shield shaped cartilage called? cricoid cartilage
What is the proper anatomical name for the Adam’s apple? Laryngeal prominence
Nasopharynx passageway for air
oropharynx passageway for food and air
laryngopharynx passageway for food and air
Which vocal fold creates sound? True vocal cords
All sounds are created when you breathe IN/OUT? out
Increasing the force of air through the cords will change the ______ of the sound intensity
Pulling the vocal cords tighter will change the ________ of the sound pitch
In general males have thicker, looser cords so their voice is _____ deeper
The trachea is held open by rings of ____ cartilage
Does the ring on the trachea go the whole way around? No
Why does the rind around the trachea not go the whole way around? Esophagus needs to expand when swallowing
What type of epithelium is in the trachea? Pseudostratified Ciliated columnar epithelium
Made by goblet cells _____ traps pathogens mucus
Tiny hairs called _______ waft the dirty mucus back up to the mouth cilia
what is behind the trachea? esophagus
Do trachea and bronchi have cartilage? yes
Do bronchioles have cartilage rings? No
So the tubes that can constrict or dilate are the: bronchioles
What happens to the height of the epithelium as you go through the tree? decreases
Do bronchioles and alveoli have cilia? No
The “bunch of grapes” is the: alveolar sac
1 single grape would be called: alveolus
The tubes which connect the alveolar sacs are called: alveolar ducts
Which passageway has alveoli stuck on it? Respiratory
Which one CAN do gas exchange? Respiratory
The simple squamous epithelial cells are the Type __. They are the structural cells. I
Type II cells secrete a chemical called: surfactant
What do macrophages do in the alveoli? Phagocytize debris or pathogens
The alveolar cell wall is _______ cell(s) thick 1
The capillary wall is _________ cell(s) thick. 1
There is ______membrane in between basement
The capillary wall needs to be this thin because: Gas exchange is diffusion. Increasing distance would make it harder
Which lung has 2 lobes? left
Which lung has 3 lobes? right
Which lung has a cardiac notch? left
Which lung has an oblique fissure? Both both
Which lung has a horizontal fissure? right
Why can’t blood in the pulmonary arteries nourish the lung? it's deoxygenated blood
What are the arteries which carry oxygenated blood to nourish the lung called? Bronchial arteries
Bronchial artery branches off from which large oxygenated blood artery? aorta
Can blood in the bronchial capillaries ONLY return in the bronchial vein? No, pulmonary veins also
Function of larynx: 1. Acts as a patent airway (holds the air tube open) 2. Acts as a switching mechanism to direct air and food during swallowing 3. Make sounds
If sympathetic NS (flight or fight mode) stimulates a bronchiole, does it constrict or dilate? dilate
If parasympathetic NS (rest and digest) stimulates a bronchiole, does it constrict or dilate? constrict
Stimulation of which NS causes release of mucus? Parasympathetic
Which parasympathetic cranial nerve innervates the lungs? Vagus X
Who does not have surfactant? premature babies
surfactant
