🗑
What is the External nose made up of ?   Nasal Bones and Cartilages  
🗑
What are the Nasal Cartilages ?   Lateral Nasal, Greater & Lesser Alar Cartilages  
🗑
Nasal Cavity made of   Apertures (choanae), Hard/soft palate, Vesitibule lined with mucosa, filters air cilated cells"hair like structures"  
🗑
Paranasal sinuses   paired sinuses in face bones adjacent to nasal cavity.  
🗑
Pharynx   connects nosal & oral cavities to larynx and esophagus Nasopharynx oropharynx lyryngopharynx  
🗑
Nasopharynx   upper part, connects with nasal cavity above soft palate. uvula, auditory tube, pharyngeal tonsils  
🗑
Oropharynx   palatine and lingual tonsils  
🗑
Laryngopharynx   opening to larynx & esophagus (voice box)  
🗑
Trachea   flexible “windpipe”, inferior to larynx, travels through the neck and into mediastinum, dividing at the carina into the R & L main bronchus  
🗑
Main Bronchi   runs obliquely, cares passageway for air into lungs  
🗑
Lobar Bronchii   arise from the primary bronchi, with each one serving as the airway to a specific lobe of the lung  
🗑
Pulmonary Alveoli   gas exchange  
🗑
Gross Anatomy of Lungs   In thoracic cavity, lateral to mediastinum Apex, Base, Hilum (indentation where blood vessels, bronchi, lymph vessels, and nerves enter/exit lungs), Superior & Inferior Lobes, Olique FIssures  
🗑

🗑
Bronchial Asthma   respiratory disorder wheezing; usually of allergic origin  
🗑

🗑
inspriation   drawing air into lungs  
🗑
Expiration   expelling air from lungs  
🗑
upper respiratory tract   Nasal cavity , Pharynx, Larynz  
🗑
Lower respiratory tract   Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs  
🗑
internal nose   superior,middle,inferior nasal conchae/turbinates,  
🗑
Glottis   in larynx (vocal cords and slitlike opening )  
🗑
circoateynoid   only muscle supplied by the external laryngeal branch of vagus  
🗑
