Respiratory System (Main Organs of Respiratory System (Larynx: often…

- - - - ENTIRE respiratory tract is lined w/ SUTOSTRATIFIED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM specifically ciliated
      - LATERAL WALLS of nasal cavity have conchae (increases surface area and increases air turbulence within nasal cavity)
      - Olfactory receptors (sense of smell) located in mucosa on superior surface
    - - lighten the skull
      - resonance chambers for speech, produce mucus
      - Frontal, sphenoid ethmoid, maxillary bone
    - - Oropharynx: middle region behind mouth
      - Laryngopharynx: inferior region attached to larynx
      - Nasopharynx: superior region behind nasal cavity (passage of air only)
- - - - shorter due to the liver which sits higher
      - broader and shorter
      - three lobes
      - base shape is concave
      - 2 bronchi
      - 2 fissures
      - heavier overall weight
    - - not as broad as right due to space taken up by the heart but is longer
      - two lobes
      - base shape is less concave than the right lung
      - single bronchi
      - 1 fissure
      - lighter overall weight
  - - - shorter and wider
      - carries air from trachea to right lung of our body
    - - longer and narrower
      - results from the tracheal division
      - carries air from the trachea to left lung
