Presentation Transcript

  1. The Respiratory System

  2. Pronunciation Practice Alveoli = Asymptomatic = Bronchi = Trachea = Bronchiole = Diaphragm= Epiglottis= Larynx = Pharynx= Air sacs Without symptoms Branches from trachea Windpipe Branches of Bronchi Wall that separates. . . Covers the larynx while swallowing Upper end of trachea; voice box throat

  3. Pronunciation Practice pleura = -ectasis= Orth/o = Pne/o = Pneum/o = Membranes around thoracic cavity Stretching or dilation Straight Breathing Lungs; air

  4. Video • Video on Breathing Function/A & P of Lungs http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/anatomyvideos/000018.htm

  5. What are the primary organs of the respiratory system? Two Lungs

  6. Within which “cavity” do the lungs lie in? Thoracic cavity

  7. What separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity? Diaphragm

  8. What is the primary function of the pleural membranes and pleural fluid? Allow lungs to move smoothly within the thoracic cavity

  9. How many phases are involved with respiration? What are they called? Two. Inspiration (Inhalation) and Expiration (exhalation)

  10. Video • Video on Gas Exchange during Respiration http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/anatomyvideos/000059.htm

  11. After air enters the mouth or nose, which structure does it pass next? Pharynx (throat)

  12. Gas exchange occurs in the: alveoli

  13. Gas exchange can be described as the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the: And the elimination of CO2 from the bloodstream to the: Bloodstream lungs

  14. ___________ are in the walls of the alveoli and allow RBCs to travel through their walls. capillaries

  15. O2 and CO2 can ________ across the walls of the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries. Diffuse (pass through)

  16. Oxygen molecules attach to RBCS and travel back to the: Heart (this is called Pulmonary circulation)

  17. CO2 molecules in the alveoli are blown out of the body with the next: Exhalation (also called expiration)

  18. Diagnostic Techniques, Treatments and Procedures • Bronchoscopy • Chest X-Ray • Lung scan • Pulmonary function tests • Sputum specimen • Thoracentesis • Tonsillectomy

  19. Video of Bronchoscopy • http://www.entusa.com/surgery_videos_flash/bronchoscopy/bronchoscopy_flv0.htm
