Anatomy 3 AAMI Exam Questions And Answers
(Updated And Verified)
Pharynx lies
Posterior to the nasal and oral cavities, anterior to the cervical vertebrae, superior to the pharynx
posterior nares
openings between the nasal cavity and the nasopharynx
Which portion of the nose consists of supporting framework bone, composed of cartilage and lined
with a mucous membrane.
External portion
internal respiration
exchange of gases between the blood and the cells of the body
Internal portion of nose
Lined with mucous membrane containing cilia that traps large airborne particles.
Air leaves internal nares, it will enter
Nasopharynx
pulmonary circulation
flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart
Originated in RV
Respiration
Overall exchange of gases between the atmosphere, blood and tissue cells
How many order of branching are there from the traches to the alveolar ducts
25
The inferior portion of the pharynx
laryngopharynx
O2 is exchanged for CO2 at the level of the body cell
Internal respiration
glottis
Opening between pharynx and larynx
laryngopharynx
,Begins at the level of the hyoid bone, respiratory and digestive in function, inferior portion of the
pharynx
Eustachian tube
Communicates between pharynx and middle ear
Diaphragm
Muscle functional during breathing
The funnel-like organ just posterior to the oral and nasal cavities is the:
pharynx
primary bronchi
The first branches of the trachea. There are two primary bronchi, one for each lung.
Bifurcation of the trachea
Apertures of the diaphragm
Aortic, esophageal, IVC
external respiration
Exchange of gases between the air sacs of the lungs and the pulmonary capillaries of the blood
vascular system.
Lower respiratory system consists of all but
Pharynx
Epiglottis
A flap of tissue that seals off the windpipe and prevents food from entering.
connects pharynx to trachea
larynx
As bronchi become smaller
Diameter is reduced, cartilage in tubes decreases, smooth muscle increases
Where does the trachea bifurcate?
sternal angle
Cartilage that forms anterior wall of larynx
Thyroid
Oxygenated blood is returned to the heart by way of
4 pulmonary veins
, pulmonary ventilation
movement of air into and out of the lungs
function of eustachian tube
Equalize pressure between pharynx and middle ear
cricoid cartilage
Most inferior portion of larynx
fauces
opening between oral cavity and oropharynx
goblet cells
secrete mucus in trachea
palatine process
Not a part of the nasal septum
Anatomical division of the pharynx that is located behind the mouth from the soft palate to above the
level of the hyoid bone
Oropharynx
Bronchioles
smallest branches of the bronchi
Right lung
3 lobes
cardiac notch
Is an indentation in the left lung where the heart lies against the lung forming an indentation.
How many secondary bronchi are there?
2 on the left, 3 on the right
bronchopulmonary segments
defined by tertiary bronchi
fibro-muscular
Holds the ends of the primary bronchi cartilage open
alveoli sacs
