Respiratory System Cindy Quisenberry
Respiratory system • Lungs – provide the body with O2 and eliminates CO2 • Right Lung • 3 lobes • Left Lung • 2 lobes • Pleura – membrane on the outside of the lung • Parietal Pleura – outer layer • Visceral Pleura – inner layer • Plural Cavity – space b/w the 2 pleura
Respiratory tract Nose Pharynx Larynx Trachea Right Lung Left Lung Bronchi Bronchioles Diaphragm Aveoli Capillaries Venule Arteriole Bronchiole
Two major tasks • External Respiration (Breathing) – the exchange of air between the body and the outside environment • Internal Respiration – the process of bringing O2 to the cells and removing CO2 from them
2 actions of external respiration • Inhalation – breathing in • Diaphragm contracts by flattening and the intercostal muscles raise the ribs; increases the space in the the thoracic cavity and air rushes in • Exhalation – breathing out • Diaphragm relaxes and the ribs lower, causing air to rush out
Upper respiratory system Frontal Sinus Pharyngeal Tonsil - Adenoids Nostril Hard Palate Nasopharynx Uvula Palatine Tonsil Tongue Oropharynx Epiglottis Lingual Tonsil Laryngopharynx Larynx Esophagus Trachea
The throat / pharynx • Three sections • Nasopharynx • Pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids) – aid in the body’s immune defense • Oropharynx – triggers swallowing • Palatine tonsils – part of the immune system • Laryngopharynx – divides into 2 sections
esophagus • Passageway for food • Part of the GI tract • Epiglottis prevents food from entering the larynx (glottis) • What is the term for when food goes into the larynx instead of the esophagus? • What is the procedure for dislodging food that is causing someone to choke?
The larynx (voice box) • Air passes to the trachea • Produces sounds of speech and singing • Contain the vocal cords • Size and thickness of the cords determine the pitch • Supported by the thyroid cartilage
The trachea and lower lung passages • Connects the larynx to the right and left bronchi • Bronchi are the passageways through which air enters the lungs • The bronchi are divided into smaller tubes called bronchioles
External respiration • The air between the body and the outside environment is exchanged. • What is another term for external respiration?
Terms you should know • Internal Respiration • Oxygen is carried to and from the cells. • What is removed from the cells? • External Respiration • The air between the body and the outside environment is exchanged. • What is another term for external respiration? • What is cilia?
