Biology 322Human Anatomy Respiratory System
Anatomical Structures Support Specific Functions of Respiratory System V G G Ventilation: Movement of air to and from sites of gas exchange Gas Exchange: Movement of specific gases such as oxygen & carbon dioxide between air and blood (in lung) or between blood and extracellular fluids (in other tissues) Gas Transport: Movement of oxygen (in blood) away from lung and of carbon dioxide (also in blood) back toward lung.
Nasal Cavity: Removes dust & other debris Warms inhaled air Humidifies inhaled air
Right & left sides of nasal cavity separated by nasal septum; Nasal cavity separated from oral cavity by palate
Structure of Larynx: Nine cartilages: 3 large unpaired 3 smaller pairs You identifed these in lab
Vocal cords Vocal cords (also called or ) are strands of dense regular connective tissue running anteriorly from to . If they are adducted (close together) air moving between the cords causes them to vibrate.
Intrinsic muscles of larynx (no, you don’t need to know their names) move
Trachea: Begins at bottom of larynx (cricoid cartilage) Ends Cricoid Cartilage Primary Bronchus
Trachea: Held open Lumen lined by
Trachea: Cross section of neck at level of vertebra cervical 6
Lungs: Occupy most of thoracic cavity
Lungs: Primary bronchus, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary veins enter/leave lung together
Lungs: Surrounded
Lungs: Each lung divided into lobes by deep grooves or fissures
Lungs: Each lung divided into lobes by deep grooves or fissures
Lungs: Each lung divided into lobes by deep grooves or fissures
Lungs: Each lung divided into lobes by deep grooves or fissures
Lungs: Each lobe has
Lungs: Each lobe consists of
Trachea Primary bronchi Secondary bronchi Tertiary bronchi (smaller branches) (bronchioles) Terminal bronchioles Respiratory bronchioles Alveolar ducts Alveoli
Alveoli: Wall = Other cells:
As the bronchi branch and divide, At the end,
This air (in the alveolus) and blood (in the capillaries) are separated by a very thin wall, called
