Question | Answer |
Muscle respiration | Breathing requires the use of muscles Diaphragm and external intercostal muscles internal intercostal muscles Contraction of first 2 produces inspiration Contraction of last produces forced expiration Normal expiration requires little muscular activi |
Muscle respiration-diaphram | Muscular dome between thoracic and abdominal cavities Muscle fascicles extend to a fibrous central tendon Contraction flattens it increases the vertical dimension of the thorax drawing air into the lungs raises the abdominal pressure to help expel |
Muscles of respiration | External intercostals extend downward and anteriorly from rib to rib pull ribcage up and outward during inspiration Internal intercostals extend upward and anteriorly from rib to rib pull ribcage downward during forced expiration |

Nasal cavity mucosa | Olfactory mucosa lines roof of nasal fossa Respiratory mucosa lines rest of nasal cavity with ciliated pseudostratified epithelium Defensive role of mucosa mucus (from goblet cells) traps inhaled particles bacteria destroyed by lysozyme |
Nasal cavity cilia | Function of cilia of respiratory epithelium sweep debris-laden mucus into pharynx to be swallowed Erectile tissue of inferior concha venous plexus that rhythmically engorges with blood and shifts flow of air from one side of fossa to the other Epista |
Regions of pharynx | Nasopharynx Oropharynx Laryngopharynx |
Nasopharynx | (pseudostratified epithelium) posterior to choanae, dorsal to soft palate receives auditory tubes and contains pharyngeal tonsil 90 downward turn traps large particles (>10m) |
Oropharynx | (stratified squamous epithelium) space between soft palate and root of tongue, inferiorly as far as hyoid bone, contains palatine and lingual tonsils |
Laryngopharynx | (stratified squamous) hyoid bone to level of cricoid cartilage |
Larynx | Glottis – vocal cords and opening between Epiglottis flap of tissue that guards glottis, directs food and drink to esophagus Infant larynx higher in throat, forms a continuous airway from nasal cavity that allows breathing while swallowing by age 2 |
9 Cartilages of Larynx | Epiglottic cartilage most superior Thyroid cartilage – largest Cricoid cartilage (circ) Arytenoid cartilages (2) Corniculate cartilages (2) lil horns Cuneiform cartilages (2) |
Interior wall of larynx | Interior wall has 2 folds on each side, from thyroid to arytenoid cartilages vestibular folds: superior pair, close glottis during swallowing vocal cords: produce sound |
Intrinsic muscles of larynx | Intrinsic muscles - rotate corniculate and arytenoid cartilages adducts (tightens: high pitch sound) or abducts (loosens: low pitch sound) vocal cords |
Extrinsic muscles of larynx | Extrinsic muscles - connect larynx to hyoid bone, elevate larynx during swallowing |
Trachea | Rigid tube Supported by c-shaped rings opening in rings faces posteriorly towards esophagus trachealis spans opening in rings, adjusts airflow by expanding or contracting Larynx/trachea lined w/ ciliated pseudostrat epithelium which functions as escal |
Lung surface anatomy | Apex Primary bronchi Superior lobe Coastal surface Middle lobe Fissures Mediastinal surfaces R. Cardiac impression Inferrior lobe Base |
Primary bronchi | from trachea; after 2-3 cm enter hilum of lungs right bronchus slightly wider and more vertical (aspiration) |
Secondary bronchi | (lobar) bronchi (overlapping plates) one secondary bronchus for each lobe of lung |
Tertiary bronchi | (segmental) bronchi (overlapping plates) 10 right, 8 left |
Bronchioles | (lack cartilage) layer of smooth muscle pulmonary lobule portion ventilated by one bronchiole divides into 50 - 80 terminal bronchioles ciliated; end of conducting division respiratory bronchioles divide into 2-10 alveolar ducts; end in alveolar s |
Alveoli | bud from respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveolar sacs main site for gas exchange |
Pleurae and Pleural Fluid | Visceral (on lungs) and parietal (lines rib cage) pleurae Pleural cavity - space between pleurae, lubricated with fluid Functions reduce friction create pressure gradient lower pressure assists lung inflation compartmentalization prevents spread of |
Pulmonary ventilation | Breathing (pulmonary ventilation) – one cycle of inspiration and expiration quiet respiration – at rest forced respiration – during exercise Flow of air in and out of lung requires a pressure difference between air pressure within lungs and outside bod |
Diahram | (dome shaped) contraction flattens diaphragm |
Scalenes | hold first pair of ribs stationary |
Ext./Int intercoastals | stiffen thoracic cage; increases diameter |
Pectoralis minor, strnocleidomastoid, and errector spinae muscles | used in forced inspiration |
Abdominalis and latissimus dorsi | forced expiration (to sing, cough, sneeze) |
Neural control of breathing | Breathing depends on repetitive stimuli from brain Neurons in medulla oblongata and pons control unconscious breathing Voluntary control provided by motor cortex Inspiratory neurons: fire during inspiration Expiratory neurons: fire during forced expir |
Respiratory nuclei in medulla | inspiratory center (dorsal respiratory group) frequent signals, you inhale deeply signals of longer duration, breath is prolonged expiratory center (ventral respiratory group) involved in forced expiration |
Pons | pneumotaxic center sends continual inhibitory impulses to inspiratory center, as impulse frequency rises, breathe faster and shallower apneustic center prolongs inspiration, breathe slower and deeper |
From limbic system and hypothalamus | respiratory effects of pain and emotion |
From airways and lungs | irritant receptors in respiratory mucosa stimulate vagal afferents to medulla, results in bronchoconstriction or coughing stretch receptors in airways - inflation reflex excessive inflation triggers reflex stops inspiration |
From chemoreceptors | monitor blood pH, CO2 and O2 levels |
Peripheral chemoreceptors | found in major blood vessels aortic bodies signals medulla by vagus nerves carotid bodies signals medulla by glossopharyngeal nerves |
Central chemoreceptors | in medulla primarily monitor pH of CSF |
Voluntary control | Neural pathways motor cortex of frontal lobe of cerebrum sends impulses down corticospinal tracts to respiratory neurons in spinal cord, bypassing brainstem Limitations on voluntary control blood CO2 and O2 limits cause automatic respiration |
Atmospheric pressure | 1 atmosphere (atm) = 760 mmHg |
Intrapulmonary pressure and lung volume | pressure is inversely proportional to volume for a given amount of gas, as volume inc, pressure inc and as volume inc, pressure inc |
Pressure gradients | difference between atmospheric and intrapulmonary pressure created by changes in volume thoracic cavity |
Inspiration pressure changes | inc intrapleural atm: as vol of thoracic cavity inc,visceral pleura clings to parietal pleura dec intrapulmonary atm: lungs expand with visceral pleura Transpulmonary atm: intrapleural minus intrapulmonary atm Inflation aided by warming of inhaled ai |
Passive expiration | Expiration achieved by elasticity of lungs and thoracic cage As volume of thoracic cavity , intrapulmonary pressure and air is expelled After inspiration, phrenic nerves continue to stimulate diaphragm to produce a braking action to elastic recoil |
Forced expiration | Internal intercostal muscles depress the ribs Contract abdominal muscles Inc intra-abdominal pressure forces diaphragm upward Inc pressure on thoracic cavity |
Pneumothoax | Presence of air in pleural cavity loss of negative intrapleural pressure allows lungs to recoil and collapse Collapse of lung (or part of lung) is called atelectasis |
