Respiratory System
CATS Respiratory system on cat: Diaphragm Visceral pleura Trachea Pharynx (Back of throat) Larynx Bronchus
Larynx (Esophagus behind) Trachea Lungs (visceral pleura is shiny surface) Diaphragm
Trachea Primary Bronchi Secondary bronchi
MODELS Upper Respiratory model: External nares Nasopharynx Lingual frenulum (attachment under tongue) Oropharynx Uvula Palatine tonsil (part of the immune system) Laryngopharynx Thyroid gland
Nasopharynx Uvula Oropharynx Laryngopharynx
Trachea model: Trachealis muscle Arytenoid cartilage Cricoid cartilage Hyoid bone Thyroid cartilage Glottis (hole opening to the trachea) Epiglottis (“leaf-like” flap that covers glottis)
Hyoid bone Epiglottis Thyroid cartilage Glottis Arytenoid cartilage Cricoid cartilage Trachealis muscle Thyroid gland
Hyoid bone Epiglottis Thyroid cartilage Trachealis muscle Thyroid gland Cricoid cartilage
Hyoid bone Epiglottis Thyroid cartilage Glottis Vocal cord Arytenoid cartilage Cricoid cartilage
Larynx The ability to vary the pitch of the voice results from the tension in the vocal cords. The epiglottis is a leaf-shaped flap that closes over the glottis during swallowing to keep food from entering the trachea.
Lung The right lung is larger than the left one. More cigarette smoke gets in this side Cancer is more common in the right lung Most foreign substances in the air do not reach the lungs because the ciliated epithelium and mucus that line the respiratory passages trap them and we cough it up.

Bronchiole Alveoli
Diaphragm When the diaphragm contracts: the thoracic cavity increases the pressure inside the thoracic cavity drops The air flows into the lungs
