Gross Anatomy - correct answer Study of structures that can be seen with the naked
eye
Gross Anatomy of the Lungs - correct answer The right lung has three lobes while the
left lung has two lobes. The both lungs have oblique fissures. The right lung also has a
horizontal fissure separating the superior and middle lobes
hilum - correct answer the root where the pulmonary blood vessels and veins enter
the lung. This is also where the trachea turns into the bronchi.
pleura - correct answer membranes that cover the surface of the lung and the cavity
surrounding the lungs
parietal pleura - correct answer covers the surfaces surrounding the lungs: the rib
cage, diaphragm, and mediastinum.
visceral pleura - correct answer directly covers the lungs
pleural space/cavity - correct answer The space that is formed between the pleurae.
Normally, this space is empty except for a scant amount of fluid. However, in the
diseased state, this cavity can fill with air or fluids.
anatomical organization of the respiratory system - correct answer allows the
respiratory system to perform three main functions: 1) air conduction, 2) air filtration,
and 3) exchange of gases - aka respiration
Conducting portion of respiratory system - correct answer responsible for moving air
in and out of lungs. air is filtered so that it is free of debris, warmed, and humidified. By
the time the air reaches the lungs, it is at body temperature and saturated with water.
nostril - correct answer have hair and cilia that filter the air , have goblet cells that trap
nasal cavities - correct answer aka fossae, composed of bone and cartilage, are made
up of several parts. The left and right fossae are separated by the nasal septum.
vestibule - correct answer is the most external portion of the nasal cavity just inside
the nostrils.It is covered with stratified squamous epithelium. Inside are short thick hairs
to catch debris. Down the middle is a nasal septum.
, nasal conchae - correct answer found in nasal cavity. responsible for warming air as it
moves past. Important so the body can do less work during respiration. We want air to
be warm and moist before it enters the lungs
Pharynx - correct answer Throat; the membrane-lined cavity behind the nose and
mouth, connecting them to the esophagus. Has 3 parts: nasopharynx, oropharynx,
laryngopharynx
nasopharynx - correct answer connection area between the nasal cavity and pharynx,
generally above the soft palate- has this name bc connects to nasal cavity
oropharynx - correct answer caudal to the mouth and anterior to the epiglottis. Has
this name bc located behind oral cavity.
laryngopharynx - correct answer area where the pharynx, larynx and esophagus
meet. Stratified squamous epithelium protects these tissues from frictional damage.
Esophagus - correct answer lies posterior to the larynx and trachea. It is a muscular
tube connecting the pharynx with the stomach. It is lined with mucosa. It is the tube that
is used for food and nutrients.
Trachea (windpipe) - correct answer passageway for air from larynx to the bronchi. It
is composed of about 20 C-shaped, cartilaginous rings that do not completely meet on
the posterior side of this tube- they help hold open airway.
hard palate and soft palate - correct answer separate oral cavity from nasal cavity
hard palate - correct answer roof of the mouth
soft palate - correct answer closes nasal cavity when we are eating to make sure food
and liquid do not enter the nasal cavity.
aspiration - correct answer when food or liquid accidentally enters the trachea. This
may happen because bothfood and air cross in this region.
Larynx - correct answer Attached to the trachea. Can physically feel going up and
down when you swallow. This tube is permanently held open to receive air. It is made
up of single cartilages and paired cartilages. It is the area that includes the Thyroid,
Epiglottis, glottis, cricoid cartilage and vocal cords.
single cartilages - correct answer thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, epiglottis
paired cartilages - correct answer arytenoids, corniculates, cuneiforms- are smaller in
size to the single cartilages
