Respiratory system Naomi Patino Period 3
Upper respiratory structures and functions
Consist
Nasal Cavivity --> filter the air, and make it moist before it goes into the lungs.
Pharynx--> carries air, food and fluid down from the nose and mouth
Larynx-->" protect the lower respiratory tract from aspirating food into the trachea while breathing"
Layers of the pleurae
visceral pleura wraps around the lungs and is stuck so tightly to the lungs that it cannot be peeled off
The outer layer (parietal pleura) lines the inside of the chest wall.
Respiratory volumes and capacities
Respiratory Volumes & capacities are Lung capacities are derived from a summation of different lung volumes
Disorders of the respiratory system
Chronic obstructive pulmonary Disease
Includes chronic bronchitis emphysema and asthma
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection in the respiratory system caused by bacterium
Pneumonia bacterial or viral infection of the lungs
Lung cancer is uncontrolled cell growth and development of tumors in the lungs
Seasonal flu a viral infection, there are many variations of this virus and it changes rapidly year to year
Volume and Pressure relationships in thoracic cavity
"increase in the volume of the thoracic cavity lowers pressure compared to the atmosphere"
Lower respiratory structures and functions
Consist
Trachea (wind pipe)-->carry oxygen air to your lungs
bronchial tubes--> let air in and out of your lungs, so you can breathe.
bring oxygen into our bodies
Internal vs. external respiration
External--> Brings Air in
Internal--> Releases air
Compare and contrast the mechanism of inspiration and expiration
Inspiration
when the diaphragm and the external intercontinental muscles contract.
Called Inhalation
Active process
Expiration
when the diaphragm and the intercontinental muscles relax.
Called Exhalation
Passive process
