The Thoracic Cage (Rib Cage)
Rib Cage-12 PAIRS OF RIBS True Ribs (1-7) False Ribs (8-10) Floating Ribs (11 & 12) Sternum Costal Cartilage Thoracic Vertebrae

Number the page 1-6 & fill in blanks (start from the top)
4
Structures of Respiration
Upper Respiratory Tract Nasal cavity Pharynx Larynx Lower Respiratory Tract Trachea Bronchial tree
5
Respiratory Pathway 1. Nasal cavity
The internal portion of the nose; it warms, filters, and moistens the air we breathe 2. Oral cavity The mouth; another place where breathing can take place 3. Pharynx The throat; extends from the nasal cavity to the larynx and serves as a passageway for both digestive & respiratory systems 4. Larynx Enlargement at the top of the trachea; passageway for air & houses the vocal cords
6
Respiratory Pathway 5. Trachea
Rigid tube that connects larynx to the bronchial tree; passageway for air & filters air 6. Bronchial Tree Branched tubes that lead from trachea to alveoli; filters air 7. Lungs Soft cone-shaped organs that occupy most of the thoracic cavity; contain air passages, alveoli & blood vessels. Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs
7
Respiratory System Function
Supply oxygen (O2) to the cells of the body Eliminate Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the body
8
Upper Respiratory Tract: Nasal Cavity
Nasal Conchae Warms the air Nasal Cilia Filters the air Nasal mucus Moistens the air
9
Upper Respiratory Tract: Pharynx
The throat Extends from the nasal cavity to the larynx Serves as a passageway for both digestive & respiratory systems
10
Upper Respiratory Tract: Larynx
Enlargement at the top of the trachea Passageway for air Houses the vocal cords
11
Lower Respiratory Tract: Trachea
Rigid tube that connects larynx to the bronchial tree Passageway for air Filters air
12
Lower Respiratory Tract: Bronchial Tree
Branched tubes that lead from trachea to alveoli Filters air
13
How does the respiratory system filter the air we breath?
Mucus membranes help trap debris & carry it out of body Cilia filters out dust & other particles Expelled through coughing, blowing nose, or sneezing Swallowing
14
Visceral & Parietal Pleura
Visceral pleura covers the lungs Parietal pleura lines the thoracic wall
15
Pleural Cavity Contains a small amount of pleural fluid which has 3 main functions: Lubrication Reducing heat build-up Create surface tension to cause lung to remain against the thoracic wall
16
Mechanics of Respiration
Change in thoracic volume Move the ribs Move the diaphragm Air flows from high to low pressure Difference of pressure in the air vs. the alveoli
17
Mechanics of Respiration: Change in Thoracic Volume
18
Inspiration Ribs elevate Diaphragm moves down (contracts)
Thoracic cavity enlarges Air is pulled into lungs
19
The Thoracic Cage Movement: Inspiration
20
Expiration Ribs move down Diaphragm moves up (relaxes)
Thoracic cavity gets smaller Air is pushed out of lungs
21
The Thoracic Cage Movement: Expiration

LUNG MODEL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFUu-pn7Qtg
Label the 4 parts of the model, and 3 parts that we can’t see. Then answer the questions.
23
Organs of the abdominal cavity
Stomach-major organ of digestion located in upper left quadrant Small Intestine- final absorbed food happens here, undigested food moves on to the large intestine.
24
Organs of the abdominal cavity
Liver- largest organ in the abdominal cavity, upper right quadrant, basically a large filter for products of digestion from the small intestine Kidney- one on either side of the upper quadrants, they filter things and send them to the bladder.
25
Disorders and Injuries
Asthma Kidney Contusion Rib Contusion Liver Contusion Rib Fracture Spleen Injury Chest Contusion Hernia Myocardial Contusion/Aortic Rupture Sudden Death Syndrome in Athletes Pneumothorax Hempneumothorax Plumonary Contusions Blow to Solar Plexus Hyperventilation Side Stitch
