ANATOMY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Vincent Van Gogh – Skull with Cigarette (1886) • 9.3.2013 Kaan Yücel M.D., Ph.D.
Nose is divisible into : Externalnose Nasal cavity
External Nose Extendsthe nasal cavities onto the front of the face Pyramidalin shape
External nose has bony &cartilaginous parts. • BonesCartilages • Nasal bonesLateral cartilages (paired) • Frontal process of maxillaAlar cartilages (paired) • Nasal part of frontal boneSeptalcartilage (single)
NasalcavITIES uppermost parts of the respiratory tract olfactory receptors • separatedfrom: • each other by a midline nasal septum • oral cavity below by the hard palate • cranial cavity above by parts of the frontal, ethmoid, &sphenoid bones. Posteriorly, each nasal cavity communicates with the nasopharynx through two openings choana.
Each nasal cavity consists of 3regions. • nasal vestibuleinternal to the naris • respiratory regionlargest , rich neurovascular supply • olfactory region @ apex of each nasal cavity, olfactory receptors 3 2 1
Functions of the nose & nasal cavities • Olfaction (sense of smell) • Respiration • Filtration of the dust in the inspired air • Humidification and warming of the inspired air (cooling the internal carotid artery for brain) • Reception of the secretions from the paranasal sinuses and nasolacrimal ducts
2. PARANASAL SINUSES air filled spaces lying within the bones around the nasal cavity lined by respiratory mucosa. open into the nasal cavities innervated by branches of the trigeminal nerve [V]. • Frontal sinuses • Ethmoid sinuses • Sphenoid sinuses • Maxillary sinuses
3. LARYNX between C3-C6 organ of phonation (vocalization) continuous below with the trachea above opens into the pharynx immediately posterior & slightly inferior to the tongue Cartilage Muscles Connectivetissue
SKELETON OF LARYNX LARYNGEAL CARTILAGES • Paired cartilages • Arytenoid • Corniculate • Cuneiform • Unpaired cartilages • Thyroid cartilage (biggest) • Cricoid cartilage • Epiglottic cartilage
Thyroid cartilage largest cartilage of the larynx 2 laminaewhich fuse anteriorly at the thyroid angle & form laryngeal prominence (Adam’s apple)
Cricoid cartilage a ring shaped cartilage, most inferior of the laryngeal cartilages Inferiorly attaches to 1st tracheal ring viacricotrachealligament. Completelyencircles the airway Broadlamina of cricoidcartilageposteriorly Narrowerarch of cricoidcartilageanteriorly
Arytenoid cartilages pyramidal in shape 3 processes Apex (superior) articulation w/corniculatecartilage Vocal process (anterior)vocal ligament attaches here Muscular process (lateral) posterior & lateral crico-arytenoid muscles
Epiglottic cartilage (Epiglottis) a leaf-shaped cartilage attached by its stem to the posterior aspect of the thyroid cartilage @the angle Most superior end is free.
Corniculate&cuneiform cartilages corniculatecartilagestwo small conical cartilages Located on thearytenoid cartilages cuneiform cartilagessmall cartilagesanterior to corniculatecartilages lie in the posterior part of the aryepiglottic fold.

5. PLEURA coversthepulmonarycavitiesandexternalsurfaces of thelungs in thesecavities visceral pleurainvests all surfaces of the lungs parietal pleuralines the pulmonary cavities & thorax’sinner surface
Visceral pleura insensitive to pain Parietal pleura extremely sensitive to pain Irritation causes local pain or referred pain projecting to the dermatomes supplied by the same spinal nerve.
pleural cavity potential space between the layers of pleura contains a capillary layer of serous pleural fluid lubricates the pleural surfaces allows layers of pleura slide smoothly over each other during respiration. lung surface in contact with thoracic wall lung expands fills with air when thorax expands
5. LUNGS organs of respiration lie on either side of the mediastinum surrounded by right & left pleural cavities
