Functions of the Respiratory System • Bring oxygen from the air into the bodyfor delivery by the blood to the cells • Carbon dioxide carried back to the lungs by the blood system is expelled into the air. • Flow air past the larynx to make speech possible.
Structures of the Respiratory SystemUpper Respiratory System • Nose • Mouth • Pharynx • Epiglottis • Larynx • Trachea
Structures of the Respiratory SystemLower Respiratory System • Bronchial tree • lungs
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries 1.Nose -air enters the nose via the nares -nose divided by nasal septum 2. Nasal cavity - lined with mucous membranes -mucous which helps moisten, war, filter air -cillia to filter air
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries • 3. Paranasal sinuses (pg 145, table 7.1) • 4 types of sinuses • maxillary • ethmoid • frontal • sphenoid
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries • Nasopharynx: first division of pharynx (HARYNG/O = throat) • Oropharynx: second division of pharynx (or/o = mouth) 6. Adenoids 7. Palintine tonsils: protects against infection 8. Laryngopharynx: Third division
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries 9. Larynx (laryng/o): voice box makes speech possible
Vocal Cords • Larynx (laryng/o): • voice box makes speech possible
Epiglottis10: Esophagus; Not part of the air flow: carries food to the stomach11. Epiglottis: Located at the base of the tongue & is a lid that covers larynx so food will not enter.
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries 12.Trachea (trache/o) Windpipe
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries 13.Mediastium: Not part of the air flow-Region between lungs 14. Bronchi (BRONCH/O, BRONCHI/O) Each leads to a separate lung and divides into branches.
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries 15. Lungs: bronchial tree forms internet structure of the lungs -LOB/o = lobe -PHEUM/o = pertaining to lungs & air -PHEU/o = pertaining to lungs & air -PHLMON/o = pertaining to lungs
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries 16.Bronchioles: (BRONCHIOL/o) smallest branches of the bronchi
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries 17. Alveoli: Air sacks (ALVEOL/O) Small grape like clusters found at the end of bronchiole. 18. Capillaries 19 Erythrocytes
Pathway of air from nose to the capillaries • Parietal Pleura: Outer layer, lining of the thoracic cavity 21. Visceral pleura: inner layer 22. Diaphram: Muscle separating chest and abdomen. Breathing action
Internal respiration • Exchange of within the cells of all body organs and tissues • Oxygen passes from blood stream into the tissue cells • Carbon dioxide passes from the tissue cells into the blood stream
External Respirationbreathing • Exchange of gases in the lungs • Inhalation: act of drawing in the breath • Exhalation: act of breathing out
