🗑
|
||||
| What is the function of the oropharynx and where does it lie in the body? | The middle part of the throat connects to the oral cavity (mouth). It allows air, food and fluid to pass through.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the key tissue types in the pharynx called? | • Mucous and submucosa (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue = MALT tissue)- supports fighting infection.
• Smooth muscle
• Blood and nerve supply
🗑
|
||||
| What does smooth muscle do? | It gives part of the body tone. If something is toned, it can stay rigid as opposed to floppy. This maintains airway patency, meaning it helps to keep the airway open by maintaining its shape.

🗑
|
||||
| What makes up the lower respiratory tract? | Anything from the trachea down
🗑
|
||||
| What are the main functions of the Trachea? | • Support and patency - whatever way you move your head, your airway should remain open
• Mucociliary escalator- it is made up of mucus and cilia. It moves the mucus up and out of the lungs by coughing or swallowing.
• Cough reflex
🗑
|
||||
| Describe the process of a cough | No. of particles in the trachea reaches a critical mass which causes an impulse In the vagus nerve. This causes a motor response. Youl take a breath and your vocal cords will close to build up pressure in the trachea. This trigger in the diaphragm will
🗑
|
||||
| What is surfactant and where is it created? | Created by septal cells. It stops the alveoli drying out and reduces suflace tension, preventing alveolar collapse during expiration
🗑
|
||||
| When are the internal intercostals used? | The internal intercostals are used when expiration becomes
active, as in exercise.
🗑
|
||||
| What is elasticity? | Elasticity is the ability of the lung to return to its normal
shape after each breath.
🗑
|
||||
| What is compliance? | This is the stretchability of the lungs, i.e. the effort required
to inflate the alveoli. '
🗑
|
||||
| What is external respiration? | the exchange of gases by diffusion between the alveoli and the blood in the alveolar capillaries, across the respiratory membrane.
🗑
|
||||
| What is internal respiration? | exchange of gases by
diffusion between blood in the capillaries and the body cells
🗑
