Cards

Term
Ventilation
Definition
movement of air into and out of lungs
Term
External Respiration
Definition
gas exchange between air and lungs in blood
Term
Internal Respiration
Definition
gas exchange between the blood and tissues
Term
Gas Exchange
Definition
oxygen enters blood and carbon dioxide leaves
Term
Regulation of blood pH
Definition
altered by changing blood carbon dioxide levels
Term
Voice Production
Definition
movement of air past vocal folds make sound and speech
Term
Olfaction
Definition
smell occurs when airborne molecules are drawn into nasal cavity
Term
Protection
Definition
against microogranisms by preventing entry and removing them from respiratory surfaces
Term
Respiratory System Function
Definition
Gas Exchange
Regulate pH
Voice Production
Olfaction
Protection
Term
Respiratory System Divisions
Definition
upper and lower tract
Term
Upper Tract includes
Definition
nose, pharynx and associated structure
Term
Lower Tract
Definition
Larynx
Trachea
Bronchi
Lungs
Tubings within lungs
Term
External Nose
Definition
Visible includes

hyaline cartilage plates
nasal bones
Term
Nares (nostrils) to Choanae
Definition
opening into pharynx
Term
Vestibule
Definition
just inside nares
lined with stratified squamos epithelium
continous with skin
Term
Hard Palate
Definition
floor of nascal cavity separates nasal cavity
from oral cavity
covered by mucous membrane
Term
Nasal Septum
Definition
partition diving cavity
anterior cartilage; posterior vomer
perpendicular plate of ethmoid
divides nascal cavity into R and L Part
Term
C hoanae
(part o nasal cavity)
Definition
bony ridges on lateral walls with meatuses (passageways)
Openings to paranasal sinuses and to nasolacrimal duct (tears)
Term
Functions of Nasal Cavity
Definition
Passageway
Cleans Air
Humidifies
Warms Air
smell
Resonating Chamber of Speech
Term
Passageway for air
Definition
open even if mouth full of food
Term
Cleans the air
Definition
vestibule lined with hair and traps particles
mucous membrane consists of pseudostratified ciliated
columnar epithelium with goblet cells (mucous)
Term
Humidifies
Definition
moisture from mucous membrane and from excess
tears that drain into nasal cavity through nasolacrimal duct
Term
Warm Air
Definition
warm blood flowing through mucous membrane prevents
damange to respiratory passages caused by cold air
Term
Smell
Definition
superior part of nasal consists of olfactory epithelium
(sensory receptors)
Term
Paranasal Sinuses and Nasal Cavity
Definition
resonating chambers for speech
Term
Pharynx
Definition
common opening for digestive and rspiratory system
Term
Where is pharynx connected to

..in respiratory
..in digestive
Definition
...larynx
..esophagus
Term
Three Regions
Definition
Nasopharynx

Oropharynx

Laryngopharynx
Term
Nasopharynx
Definition
pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cell

mucous and debris from nasal cavity swallowed

opening of Eustachian (auditory) tubeway that passes through them to equalize air pressure between atmosphere and middle ear
Term
Describe the Nasopharynx floor
Definition
soft palate (separates nasopharynx from oropharynx)
uvula is posterior extensions of solt palate

prevents swalloed material from entering nasopharynx and nasal
Term
Oropharynx
Definition
shared with digestive system
(extends from soft palate to epiglottis)

lined with moist stratified squamos epithelium
air, food, drink passes through
Term
Laryngopharynx
Definition

epiglottis to esophagus
lined with moist stratified squamos epithelium

food and drink pass through here to esophagus

little air passes
too much air=gas

Term
Larynx
Definition
base of tongue to trachea/passageway for air
Term
Name Unpaired cartilages in Larynx
Definition
Thyroid
Cricoid
epiglottis
Term
Thyroid
Definition
largest; adams apple
Term
Criscoid
Definition
most inferior; base of larynx
(other cartilages rest here)
Term
Epiglottis
Definition
attached to thyroid and has flap near base
of tongue.
Elastic rather then hyaline cartilage
Term
Named Paired Larynx
Definition
Arytenoids
Coniculate
Cuneiform
Term
Arytenoids
Definition
attached to cricoid
Term
Coniculate
Definition
attached to arytenoids
Term
Cuneiform
Definition
contained in mucous membrane
Term
Name the ligaments that extend
from arytneids to thyroid cartilage
Definition
vestibular folds or false vocal folds

True vocal cords or vocal folds
Term
True vocal cords/Vocal Folds function
Definition
sound production

opening between is glottis
Term
Laryngitis
Definition
inflammation of mucosal epithelium of vocal folds
Term
Function of Larynx
Definition
maintain an open passageway for air movement
thyroid and cricoid cartilages
Term
How does Epiglottis and vestibular folds prevent swallowed material from moving into larynx
Definition
during swallowing epiglottis covers opening of larynx so food and liquid slide over epiglottis towards esophagus

Closure of vestibular folds prevent passage of air
(holding breath)
Term

 

Vocal Folds are the primary source of?

Definition
sound production

greather amplitude of vibration, louder the sound
Term
What determines amplitude
Definition
force of air moving past vocal cords
Term
What determines pitch
Definition
frequency of cibration
length of vibrating segments of vocal fold affect
Term
What determines length of vocal folds?
Definition
arytenoid cartilages and skeletal muscles
abduct the folds when not speaking (breathing)
to pull them out of the way making glottis larger
(greater movement of air)
Term
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium
Definition
lines larynx
traps debris, preventing entry into lower respiratory tract
