open into nasopharynx   pharyngeal tonsils (adnoids) and openings of auditory tubes  
🗑
open into oropharynx   tonsils

larynx made of   several pieces of cartilidge  
🗑
adam's apple   largest pice of cartlidge (thyroid cartlidge)  
🗑
epiglottis   trap door  
🗑
what does epiglottis do   prevents food from entering into trachea  
🗑
glottis   space between vocal cords  
🗑
vocal cords   stretch across to produce sound  
🗑
3 parts of larynx   vocal cords, epiglottis, glottis  
🗑
function of larynx   air distritbution to/from lungs, voice production  
🗑
trachea   wind pipe tube, lined with mucous membrane  
🗑
trachea   c-shaped rings of cartlidge hold it open and protect from collapse  
🗑
function of trachea   passageway for air to/from lungs, produce and move mucous  
🗑
obstruction of trachea   can cause death in minutes, 4000 accidental per year in US  
🗑
obstruction of trachea by   tumors, swelling, choking  
🗑
first branch from trachea   primary bronchi  
🗑
bronchioles end in   clusters of alveolar sacs  
🗑
alveoli   make up walls of alveolar sacs  
🗑
function of bronchi/bronchioles   air passage  
🗑
function of alveoli   gas exchange between air and blood  
🗑
R lung   3 lobes  
🗑
L lung   2 lobes  
🗑
apex   narrow, upper part under collar bone  
🗑
base   broad, lower part resting on diaphragm  
🗑
pleura   moist, slippery membrane lining lung cavities  
🗑
function of pleura   prevent friction during breathing  
🗑
visceral pleura   covers lungs  
🗑
pareital pleura   lines thoracic cavity  
🗑
intrapleural space   between pleura linings  
🗑
function of pleura   pulmonary ventilation  
🗑
respiration   exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living organisms and their environments  
🗑
2 phases of pulmonary ventilation   inspiration, expiration  
🗑
what causes air to move in and out   changes in size and shape of thorax causing changes in air pressure in chest cavity and lungs  
🗑
inspiration   inhaling, active process  
🗑
expiration   exhaling, passive process  
🗑
diaphragm flattens, increasing chest area top to bottom; external intercostals contract and elevate increasing chest area side to side and front to back   inspiration  
🗑
most important organ of inspiration   diaphragm  
🗑
quiet process, returning thorax to resting size and shape with aid of elaxtic lung recoil   expiration  
🗑
abdominal muscles elevate chest cavity to decrease thorax size while internal intercostals deptress rib cage and decrease throat size, forcing air out during speaking, singing, or exercise   forceful expiration  
🗑
transports oxygen and carbon dioxide   blood  
🗑
measures volumes of air exhanged   spirometer  
🗑
air normally breathed in/out with each breath   tidal volume TV  
🗑
air forcefully inhalled after a normal inspiration   inspiratory reserve volume IRV  
🗑
air forcefully expelled after a normal breathing out   expiratory reserve volume ERV  
🗑
