Main structures Nose and nasal cavity Pharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchial tree Lungs Respiratory SystemBYDR. HEMANT UNE
Conducting Zone • Nose to bronchioles • Conduct air • Warm • Moisten • Cleanse
Respiratory zone • Respiratory bronchioles • Alveolar ducts • Alveolar sacs • Respiration (=exchange of gases)
Nasal cavity • External nares (nostrils) • Nasal septum • Mucous membrane • Posterior nasal aperture (internal nares)
Bones of the nasal cavity • Roof – ethmoid & sphenoid • Floor – maxillary & palatine • Nasal septum – ethmoid & vomer • Lateral wall – ethmoid, inferior nasal concha, & palatine
Regions of the nasal cavity • Vestibule – skin • Olfactory mucosa • Receptors for smell • Olfactory nerves through cribriform plate
Regions of the nasal cavity • Respiratory mucosa • PSCC • Goblet cells • Mucous • Antibacterial • Traps dust, etc. • Moistens air • Transported by cilia
Pharynx • Skeletal muscle tube • Respiratory & digestive systems
Nasopharynx • Posterior to nasal cavity • PSCC – air only • Pharyngeal tonsil (adenoids) • Auditory tube
Oropharynx • Posterior to oral cavity • Stratified squamous epithelium • Air & swallowed food • Palatine tonsils • Lingual tonsils
Laryngopharynx • Posterior to larynx • Stratified squamous epithelium • Air & swallowed food
Larynx • C4-C6 vertebral levels • Attached to hyoid • Functions • Speech • Air pathway • Swallowing
Laryngeal cartilages • Thyroid cartilage • Cricoid cartilage • Epiglottis
Vocal cords • Vocal folds/cords = vocal ligaments covered by mucosa
Trachea • Larynx to bronchi (C6-T7) • Air passageway
Tracheal wall • 16-21 C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings • Trachealis muscle (sm.mus.)
Tracheal wall • PSCC • Lamina propria • Seromucous glands • Cartilage
Bronchial tree • 1 bronchi • 2 bronchi • 3 bronchi • ~23 branches
Bronchioles • <1 mm diameter • Terminal bronchioles • <0.5 mm diameter • Respiratory bronchioles • Scattered alveoli
Alveolar ducts • Continuous alveoli • Atrium • Leads to alveolar sacs
Alveolar wall • Respiratory membrane • Type I cell • Simple squamous epithelium • Basal lamina (shared) • Endothelium of capillary
Alveolar wall • Type II cell • Secretes surfactant • Begins at birth • Alveolar macrophages • Dust cells
Pleura • Serous membrane • Parietal pleura • Lines thoracic cavity • Visceral pleura • Covers lungs • Pleural cavity • Pleural fluid • Lubrication
Gross anatomy of the lungs • Apex • Deep to clavicle • Base • On diaphragm • Pneumothorax – air in pleural cavity
Gross anatomy of the lungs • Costal surface • Next to rib cage • Mediastinal surface • Medial • Hilus
Blood supply to the lungs • Pulmonary arteries • Deoxygenated blood from R ventricle • Pulmonary veins • Oxygenated blood to L atrium R L
