Question
Answer
What respiratory organ separates the upper and lower respiratory tract?   Trachea  
🗑
Paranasal sinuses drain where?   Nasal cavity  
🗑
The pharynx contains tonsils and openings for:   Eustachian tubes  
🗑
The voicebox is located between which two respiratory organs?   Pharynx and trachea  
🗑
Another name for the larynx   Voice box  
🗑
Two functions of the larynx from notes   Prevents foreign objects, food from entering trachea; composed primarily of cartilage  
🗑
What does the epiglottis prevent?   Food from entering larynx  
🗑
What does testosterone do when deepening the voice?   Vocal chords thicken, lengthen and the larynx to increase in size  
🗑
How long is the trachea?   4-5 inches (1 in. in diameter)  
🗑
What is the purpose of the rigid cartilage of the trachea?   Prevents trachea from collapsing  
🗑
Name of bifurcation of trachea into L and R primary bronchi   Carina  
🗑
What is the opening between the trachea and esophagus?   Tracheoesophageal fistula (usually found in right bronchi)  
🗑
As the bronchial tree extends deeper into the lungs, the:   Amount of cartilage decreases  
🗑
When bronchi divide beyond tertiary, they become:   Bronchioles (contain no cartilage)  
🗑
Bronchioles contain ___________ that allows them to change ________.   Smooth muscles; diameter  
🗑
Bronchioles give rise to:   Aveolar ducts  
🗑
Aveolar ducts end in:   Aveoli (small, sac-like)  
🗑
What surrounds each aveoli?   Pulmonary capllary  
🗑
What is the name of the collapse of Aveoli?   Atelectasis  
🗑
Definition of pleura   Continuous serous membrane lining the lungs and the inner chest wall  
🗑
What is the space between the visceral and parietal pleura?   Pleural cavity (intrapleural space)  
🗑
How is serous fluid secreted in the pleural cavity and what is it's function?   Secreted by pleural membranes which then decreases friction during respiration  
🗑
What is the excess accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity?   Pleural effusion  
🗑
What do the lungs secrete to decrease the surface tension within the lungs   Surfactant  
🗑
When a lung collapses, what happens when the arrangement of elastic fibers in lunch force air out if tension within the lung is released   Elastic Recoil  
🗑
A child born prematurely and have not yet produced surfactant   Respiratory Distress  
🗑
Pneumothorax defined   Puncture in the chest wall and rupture in lung  
🗑
Compliance is the measure of:   Elastic recoil in the lungs  
🗑
When lung compliance is decreased:   Tissue more stiff, increased level of elastic recoil, lungs have difficulty fully inflating  
🗑
When lung compliance is increased:   Lung tissue less stiff, decreased level of elastic recoil, lungs unable to fulle expell air  
🗑
Clinical example of increased compliance   Emphysema  
🗑
Clinical example of decreased compliance   Pulmonary edema, pulmonary fibrosis  
🗑
First step of respiration   Ventilation  
🗑
Second step of respiration   Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide  
🗑
Third step of respiration   Transpot of oxygen and carbon dioxide by the blood  
🗑
