Respiratory System Amarilis Ramos
Major functions of the
respiratory system
lungs-help to carry out gases as we breath in and out
Release carbon dioxide
Help take in oxygen
Anatomy of the respiratory tract;
Nasal Cavity- a layer of mucous membrane acts as a filter to help trap pollutants and other harmful substances found in air
The process of respiration and breathing in the entire body
organs of the respiratory system and location
(upper and lower respiratory track);
Nose
Pharynx
Larynx
Lungs
Bronchi
differences between the right and left lung
Left Lung:Smaller divided into superior and inferior lobes
Right Lung:larger and divided into Superior lobe,Middle lobe and Inferior lobe.
right and left
primary bronchi;
Left -longer but more narrow and it has a line with the trachea
Right-wider than left bronchi and it is vertical about 2. 5m
breathing mechanism(physiology)
The action of breathing in &out is due to changes in pressure with the chest
The muscles in the chest and diaphragm change the size of the chest
definition of lung capacity terminology
Vital Capacity(VC)-maximum amount that air can be inhaled or exhaled
Total Lung Capacity(TLC)-total amount of air that is from breathing in and out.
Inspiratory Capacity(IC)-the amount of air that can one can breath during respiratory
Internal and external respiration
Internal Respiration-the exchange of gases between the cell of the body
External Respiration-the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses alveolar air.
disorders of the respiratory system
Pneumonia-infection of the alveoli usually bacterial
Tonsillitis-inflammation of the tonsils
Bronchitis-Inflammation of the lining of the bronchiole tubes
