Question
Answer
what respiratory system provide?   provide the cells in the body.  
🗑
What does it means to obtain with?   with the means to obtain oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide  
🗑
What is external nares?   (nostrils): air enter the respiratory system  
🗑
What is vestibule?   is anterior portion of the nasal cavity, nose hair are located here  
🗑
What form hard palate?   by the maxillary and palatine bones, and form the floor of the nasal cavity and separates the nasal and oral cavity.  
🗑
Where soft palate extend?   extend behind the hard palate and lies under the nasopharynx.  
🗑
air flow from where?   from the vestibule to the internal nares through the conchae, allowing extra time for warming and humidifying the air.  
🗑
where internal nares open?   opening to the nasopharynx.  
🗑
what is pharynx or other name for it?   also called throat is a chamber shared by the digestive and respiratory tract.  
🗑
Pharynx extend from where?   extend from the internal nares to the entrancce of the larynx / esophagus.  
🗑
What are the 3 divisions of pharynx   nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx.  
🗑
where nasopharynx extend   extend from the internal nares to the posterior edge of the soft palate.  
🗑
what does nasopharynx contains   contains entrances to the auditory tubes and contains the pahryngeal tonsil.  
🗑
where oropharynx extend?   extend from the soft palate to the level of the hyoid bone. The palatine tonsils lie in the lateral walls of the oropharynx.  
🗑
what lies in the lateral walls of the oropharynx?   the palantine tonsils lie in the wall of the oropharynx.  
🗑
where laryngopharynx extends?   extends from the hyoid bone to the level of the esophagus.  
🗑
Larynx contains   contain epiglottis and glottis  
🗑
What is epiglottis?   (made of cartilage) fold over the glottis.It preventing food from entering the trachea  
🗑
What is glottis?   air passes trough this narrow opening after leaving the laryngopharynx; surrounded by the larynx.  
🗑
what forms thyroid cartilage   forms the anterior and lateral surfaces of the larynx, a prominent ridge on the anterior surface form the Adams's Apple.  
🗑
what form the Adam's Apple?   A prominent ridge on the anterior surface forms the Adam's Apple.  
🗑
What is cricoid cartilage   provides posterior support to the larynx.  
🗑
What is the level of trachea also known as?   (windpipe) level of C-6 to T-5, walls are separated by 15-20 tracheal cartilages.  
🗑
What is aspiration?   is foreign object becomes lodged in the larynx  
🗑
What is heimlich maneuver   compression to the abdomen just below the diaphragm to expel contents from the respiratory tract  
🗑
What is intubation   is insertion of a tube into the pharynx and glottis to allow airflow  
🗑
What is tracheostomy?   is incision made in anterior wall to insert tube, the tube passes the larynx and permits airflow directly into the trachea.  
🗑
the trachea branches in the ___________, to form the___________________________________.   the trachea branches in the mediastinum to form the right and left primary bronchi  
🗑
The right primary brochi____________________.   the right primary bronchi is larger in diameter and descend at a stepper angle; a foreign object would most likely enter the right bronchi.  
🗑
as the primary bronchi enter   each lung, they branch off into secondary bronchi, which enter each lobe of the lung.  
🗑
what secondary bronchi divide to:   secondary bronchi divide to form 9-10 tertiary bronchi, which divide repeatedly  
🗑
bronchioles   when the cartilage disappears completely, they become bronchioles.  
🗑
Bronchioles branch   bronchioles branches further into terminal bronchioles  
🗑
terminal bronchi divide   terminal bronchial divides into several respiratory bronchioles.  
🗑
Alveolar ducts is   respiratory bronchioles open into a passageway called a alveolar duct  
🗑
duct open to   the duct open to an alveolar sac which contains many single alveoli  
🗑
Alveoli is   the gas exchange surface of the lung.  
🗑
what is pulmonary embolism   the blockage of a branch of a pulmonary artery caused by a drifting blood clot, stopping blood flow to a group of lobules or alveoli  
🗑
the right lung has how many lobes?   The right lung has three lobes: superior, middle and inferior  
🗑
The left lung has how many lobes?   the left lung has 2 lobes: superior and inferior  
🗑
each lobe has divide by what?   each lobe is divided by fissures  
🗑
Apex   rounded superior portion of each lung  
🗑
Base   concave inferior portion of each lung which rest on the diaphragm  
🗑
pleural cavities separated by:   pleural cavities are separated by the mediastinum  
🗑
Each lung occupies what   each lung occupies and single pleural cavity lined by a serous membrane called the pleura  
🗑
Both pleural layers_________   both pleural layers visceral and parietal secrete pleural fluid  
🗑
Thoracentesis is   is removal of pleural fluid with a long needle for diagnostic purposes  
🗑
pneumothorax is   air in the pleural cavity caused by an injury  
🗑
Atelectasis is   collapsed lung due to a pneumothorax  
🗑
Hemothorax is   is blood in the pleural cavity (space)  
🗑
Pulmonary ventilation is   is physical movement of air in and out of the respiratory system  
🗑
Respiratory cycle is   is an inhalation and exhalation  
🗑
Respiratory rate is   is number of breath per minute  
🗑
Cystic fibrosis   inherited disease of mucus glands; thick mucus causing blockakes  
🗑
Croup   is viral infection that causes swelling at the subglottic portion of the trachea; causes a "barking" cough.  
🗑
Pneumonia   is inflammation of the lung  
🗑
Tuberculosis   is airbone disease caused by the bacteria mycobacterium tuberculosis  
🗑
COPD   chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)is chronic obstructed airways  
🗑
bronchitis   is inflammation of the brochi  
🗑
Emphysema   destructive changes in brochioles that cause a dramatic increase in the volume of air in the lungs, not able to fully exhale
