Respiratory system: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- Requires oxygen and produces
carbon
- And carries carbon dioxide from peripheral tissues to lungs
Functions of the respiratory system: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔-Provide extensive
surface area for gas exchange between air and circulating blood
-Move air to and from exchange surfaces of lungs
Upper respiratory system: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔nose, nasal cavity, paranasal
sinuses, pharynx
,Lower respiratory system: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔larynx, trachea, bronchi,
bronchioles, alveoli
Similar photo will be on exam: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔
Conducting portion: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔from nasal cavity to terminal
bronchioles
Respiratory portion: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔respiratory bronchioles and alveoli
Alveoli: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- air filled pockets in the lungs
- where gas exchange takes place
respiratory mucosa:
and why do we produce it? - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔•An epithelium
•Areolar tissue layer (lamina propria)
- slow down pathogens
Lamina propia of respiratory: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- mucus goes around to
reduce friction so they work & function smoothly
- discharge secretions onto epithelial tissue
- smooth muscle cells that encircle lumen of bronchioles
,Structure of respiratory epithelium: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- Nasal cavity and
superior portion of
pharynx
- Inferior portions of pharynx
- Superior portion of lower respiratory
system
- Smaller bronchioles
Cilia: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Sweep mucus and trapped debris and
microorganisms toward pharynx to be swollen
Alveolar macrophages: - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔"engulf" small particles that reach
lungs
Mucus produced in para nasal sinuses and tears do what? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔Clean and moisten nasal cavity!
Meatuses are narrow passageways that produce turbulence to: - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔- trap particles in mucus
- warm and humidify incoming air
