Respiratory System
Right and left lung/ right and left bronchi
Right Lung
Right lung has three lobes and is broader in shaped/ 10 Bronchopulmonary segements
Right lung has 2 fissures ( Oblique and Horizontal fissures )
Left Lung
Left lung is smaller because the heart takes up more space of the left lung
The left lung also has two lobes and is shaped longer
Left lung has 1 fissure ( Oblique fissure ) / 8 Bronchopulmonary segements
Right Bronchi
The right bronchi is wider, shorter, and straighter
Left Bronchi
The left bronchi is more narrower, larger, and not as straight
Major functions of the respiratory system
Circulates oxygen to throughout the body
Gas exchange between the lungs and bloodstream
Air vibrating the vocal chords
Anatomy of the respiratory system
all organs that involve breathing such as the nose,pharynx, larynx, etc.
Organs of the respiratory system/ location
Upper Respiratory
Nose (nasal cavity)
Function: Produces mucous and is an air way
Pharynx
Function: Passageway for air and food
Divided into three regions
The nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx
Larynx
Function: Is also a passageway and prevents food from entering the lower respiratory track such as the lungs
Main functions: provides an airway, acts as a switching mechanism for food and air, and functions as vocal production
Lower Respiratory
Trachea
Passageway for air
Right/ Left Lung
The home of where air goes
Right/ Left Bronchus
Connects trachea to alveoli
