  1. 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  2. 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system Essential question What are the structures of the respiratory system? 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  3. Structures of the respiratory system Upper Respiratory System • Nose • Sinuses • Pharynx • Epiglottis • Larynx Lower Respiratory System • Trachea • Lungs 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  4. Nose Nasal cavity – space behind the nose Vestibular region Olfactory region Respiratory region Nasal septum – cartilage that divides the nose into right and left sides Turbinates – scroll-like bones in the respiratory region Cilia – nose hairs Structures of the Upper Respiratory System Why do we have nose hair? 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  5. Sinuses - Cavities in the skull. Ducts connect sinuses to the nasal cavity Lined with mucous membrane to warm and moisten the air Provide resonance to the voice Structures of the Upper Respiratory System 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  6. Structures of the Upper Respiratory System • Pharynx • Throat • Nasopharynx • Oropharynx • Laryngopharynx • About 5” long 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  7. Structures of the Upper Respiratory System Epiglottis A flap or lid that closes over the opening to the larynx when food is swallowed 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  8. Larynx Voice Box Triangular chamber below pharynx Within the larynx are vocal cords, the glottis Also called the Adam’s Apple Structures of the Upper Respiratory System 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  9. Trachea Windpipe Approximately 4 ½” long The walls are composed of alternate bands of membrane and C-shaped rings of hyaline cartilage. Lined with ciliated mucous membrane Structures of the Lower Respiratory System Can you identify the trachea? 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  10. At the lower end of trachea, the bronchus divide into right and left branches. As they enter the lungs, the bronchus subdivide into bronchial tubes and into bronchioles. At the end of the bronchioles are alveolar ducts and clusters of alveoli. Structures of the Lower Respiratory System 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  11. Bronchi Ciliated mucous membrane and hyaline cartilage Bronchial tubes Cartilaginous plates Bronchioles Thinner walls of smooth muscle Lined with ciliated epithelium Structures of the Lower Respiratory System 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  12. Alveoli Composed of a single layer of epithelial tissue Contain surfactant Each alveolus is surrounded by capillaries Structures of the Lower Respiratory System 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  13. Structures of the Lower Respiratory System • The lungs are located in the thoracic cavity • Apex • Base • Fit snugly over diaphragm. • Lung tissue is porous and spongy. • Right lung • Larger and shorter than the left lung • Displaced by the liver • 3 lobes • Left lung • Smaller than the right side • Displaced by the heart • 2 lobes 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  14. Pleura Thin, moist slippery membrane that covers lungs Double-walled sac Space is pleural cavity – filled with pleural fluid Structures of the Lower Respiratory System 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  15. Mediastinum A septum or cavity between two principal portions of an organ. Contains the heart and its large vessels, trachea, esophagus, thymus, lymph nodes, and connective tissue Also called the interpleural space Located between the lungs Contains the thoracic viscera Structures of the Lower Respiratory System 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  16. Diaphragm from the muscular system! Structures of the Lower Respiratory System 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  17. Let’s review the structures of the respiratory system … 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system

  18. 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system Essential question What are the structures of the respiratory system? 2.05 Remember the structures of the respiratory system
