| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what system consists of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs? exchanges gasses, air in and out of the lungs, smell, PH, heat regulation, H2o elimination, sound production? | the respiratory system |
| Structurally speaking, what is the name for the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, and associated structures? | upper respiratory system |
| strucurally speaking, what part of the respiratory system includes larnx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs? | lower respiratory system |
| functionally speaking, which part of the respiratory system consists of a series of interconnecting cavities conducting air in filters warms moistens, piping for air flow, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchiols, terminal bronchiols, bronchi | the conducting zone |
| functionally speaking, what part of the respiratory system consists of tubes and tissues where gas exchange occurs, respiratory bronchiols, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli. | the respiratory zone |
| what is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the ears, nose, and throat? | otorhinolaryngology |
| what is the name for a specialist who deals speciffically with the lungs? | pulmonologist |
| what is a specialized organ at the entrance of the respiratory system that is divided into an external portion and internal portion called the nasal cavity? | nose |
| what is the portion of the nose visible on the face and consists of a supporting framework of bone and hyaline cartilage covered with muscle and skin and lined by a mucous membrane? | external nose |
| what are the two openings on the undersurface of the external nose? | external nares |
| what are the three functions of the interior structure of the external nose? | 1. warming, moistening, filtering, incoming air 2. detecting olfactory stimuli 3. modifying speech vibrations as they pass |
| what refers to the prolonging or modifying of a sound by vibrations? | resonance |
| what is a large space in the anterior aspect of the skull that lies inferior to the nasal bone and superior to the oral cavity, lined with mucous membranes? | nasal cavity |
| what is the anterior portion of the nasal cavity just inside the nostrils, surrounded by cartillage? | nasal vestibule |
| what verticle parition divides the nasal cavity into right and left sides? | nasal septum |
| what are the 3 shelves formed by projections extending out of each lateral wall of the nasal cavity almost reaching the nasal septum. They subdivide each side of the nasal cavity into a series of groovelike passageways. | the superior, middle, and inferior conchae |
| what is the name for the series of groovelike passageways formed by the superior, middle, and inferior conchae? | the superior, middle, and inferior meatuses |
| what lines the nasal cavity and its shelves? goblet cell secretions moisten the air and trap dust particles? | mucous membranes |
| what is a funnel shaped tube that starts at the internal nares and extends to the level of the cricoid cartillage. functions as a passageway for air and food, resonating chamber for sounds | pharynx |
| what is the superior portion of the pharynx, lies posterior to the nasal cavity and extends to the soft palate? adnoid on back wall, equilizes pressure exchanges air with middle ear | nasopharynx |
| what is the intermediate portion of the pharynx? extends from the soft palate to inferiorly to the hyoid bone, contains one faucet (opening of mouth) passageway for air, food, drink, nonkertitinized stratified squamous, palatine lingual tonsils. | oropharynx |
| what is the inferior portion of the pharynx extends from hyoid bone to esophagus both respiratory and digestive pathway, nonkeritinized stratified squamous epithelium | laryngopharynx |
| what is the voice box, a short passageway that connects the laryngopharynx with the trachea, lies in C4-C6 has 9 cartiliginous parts. | larynx |
| what is a large, leaf-shaped peice of elastic cartilage covered with epithelium, durring swallowing it closes the glotis. | epiglotis |
| what is an opening with a pair of folds in the mucous membrane, the true vocal folds in the larynx, and the rima glottis? | the glottis |
| what is a lateral expansion of the middle portion of the laryngeal cavity inferiorly to the ventricular folds and superior to the vocal folds | the laryngeal ventricles |
| what happenes when air passing through the larynx vibrates the folds and produces sound by setting up sound waves in the column of air in the pharynx, nose, mouth. the vocal folds are the principal structure in this action. | voice production |
