Respiratory System
2
Healthy Lung Vs. Smokers Lung
3
Upper Respiratory system
Internal Nares- Allows air to enter the nose and pass through into the nasal cavity
4
Upper Respiratory System
Nasopharynx- upper most part of the pharynx; passage way for air
5
Upper Respiratory System
Eustachian Tubes- links pharynx to middle ear; pressure equalization, mucus drainage
6
Upper respiratory system
Hard Palate- roof of the mouth; speech production
7
Upper Respiratory System
Soft Palate- does not contain bone located at the back of the mouth speech production, separates nasal cavity and oral cavity when swallowing
8
Upper Respiratory System
Palatine Tonsil- left and right side of the back of the throat; provides defense against pathogens
9
Upper respiratory system
Oropharynx- below soft palate and below epiglottis; passage way for air and food
10
Upper Respiratory system
Epiglottis- flap structure that allows air to enter the trachea
11
Upper Respiratory System
Glottis- slit of the epiglottis, space between vocal chords; adds buzzing quality to speech Glottis
12
Upper respiratory system
Vocal Folds Production of sounds used for speech Regulate flow of air into lungs
13
Upper respiratory system
Laryngopharynx- lower part of pharynx; passage of air and food
14
Upper respiratory system
Trachea- ciliated mucus membrane; filters air and traps particles
15
Upper respiratory system
Nasal Conchae Increase Surface area for filtration of air Warms and moistens air
16
Upper respiratory system
Nasal Vestibule Beginning of nasal passage Hair helps to capture large particles
17
Upper respiratory system
Oral Cavity- mouth Lining of the mouth and saliva glands aid provide lubrication Aids in speech, swallowing, and digestion of food
18
Upper respiratory system
Tongue- aids in speech and in swallowing to cover up epiglottis when you swallow
19
Upper respiratory system
Thyroid Cartilage- Adam’s Apple Protection and support for the vocal folds
20
Upper respiratory System
Cricoid Cartilage Connection for ligaments, cartilage, and muscles Facilitates opening and shutting of air passage Production of sound
21
Lower respiratory system
Larynx Between the pharynx and trachea Houses the vocal folds A passageway for air moving in and out of the trachea
22
Lower respiratory system
Parietal Pleura Lines the inner wall of the chest Covers the diaphragm Lubrication- serous fluid
23
Lower respiratory system
Visceral Pleura Membrane on the lung Easy movement of lungs within chest wall
24
Lower respiratory system
Alveolar Sac Cluster of alveoli located at the end of each alveolar duct Contain alveoli
25
Lower respiratory system
Alveolar Duct Connects bronchioles to alveolar sacs
26
Lower respiratory system
Alveolus Site of gas exchange with blood Secrete Surfactant
27
Lower respiratory system
Diaphragm Muscle that separates thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity Performs an important function in respiration
28
Lower respiratory system
Tracheal Cartilage Shape and support trachea Ring Shaped- 16 to 20
29
Lower respiratory system
Apex of Lung Rounded upper portion of the lung
30
Lower respiratory system
Mediastinum Divides thoracic cavity into two pleural cavities
31
Lower respiratory system
Left Primary Bronchus Main passageway into the lungs
32
Lower respiratory system
Lower Terminal Bronchioles End of the conduction zone Transitions to the respiratory zone
33
Lower respiratory system
Conduction Zone Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles Respiratory Zone Site of gas exchange; CO2 and O2
34
Lower respiratory system
Carina Bottom of trachea; splits into primary bronchus Mucus membrane is sensitive and triggers cough reflex
35
Lower respiratory system
Secondary Bronchi (120) Branches off of the primary bronchi Tertiary Bronchi (121) Branches off of the tertiary bronchi Splits into bronchioles
36
Respiratory System _____________ provides an opening for air to enter and leave the nasal cavity. List the three ways in which the upper respiratory system filters the air before it reaches the lungs. Describe the function of the epiglottis. The _____________ are the primary site for gas exchange. Explain the difference between the conduction zone and the respiratory zone. Describe the function of the diaphragm.
