Chpt 1 A&p Respiratory System

Front 1

Upper airway

Back 1

nose, oral cavity, pharynx and larynx

Front 2

primary fuctions of the upper airway

Back 2

1) act as a conductor of air 2) humidify and warm inspired are 3) to prevent foreign materials from entering the tracheobronchial tree 4) involved in speech and smell

Front 3

functions of the nose

Back 3

filter, humidfy, and warm inspired air

Front 4

structures that form the outer portion of the nose

Back 4

nasal bones, frontal process of the maxilla, lateral nasal cartilage, greater alar cartilage, lesser alar cartilages, septal cartilage, fibrous fatty tissue

Front 5

nasal septum

Back 5

perpendicular plate of the ethmoid, vomer, septal cartilage

Front 6

Turbinates (conchae)

Back 6

superior, middle, inferior

Front 7

paranansal sinuses

Back 7

maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, spenoid

Front 8

cartilages of the larynx

Back 8

thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, epiglottis, arytenoid cartilages, corniculate cartilages, cuneiform cartilages

Front 9

interior portion of the larynx

Back 9

false vocal folds, true vocal folds, vocal ligament, glottis (rima glottidis), epithelial lining above and below the vocal cords

Front 10

cartilaginous airways

Back 10

trachea, carina, main stem bronchi, lobar bronchi, segmental bronchi, subsegmental bronchi

Front 11

Noncartilaginous airways

Back 11

bronchiols, terminal bronchioles

Front 12

Lamina propria

Back 12

submucosal layer of the tracheobronchial tree

Front 13

Mast cells

Back 13

important role in the immunologic mechanism. found in the lamina propria near the branches of the vagus nerve

Front 14

factors known to slow the rate of the mucociliary transport

Back 14

cigarette smoke, dehydration, positive pressure ventilation, endotracheal suctioning, high inspired oxygen concentrations, hypoxia, pollutants, general anesthetic, parasympatholytics

Front 15

what are the chemical indicators released by mast cells

Back 15

histamine, heparine, slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A), platelet-activating factor (PAF), eosinophilic chemotactic factor of anaphylaxis (ECF-A), leukotrienes

Front 16

Canals of Lambert

Back 16

terminal bronchioles progressively become thinner, small channels

Front 17

Alveolar Epithelium is composed of what types of cells?

Back 17

Type I cell (squamous pneumocyte)
Type II cell (granular pneumocyte)

Front 18

Pores of Kohn

Back 18

small holes in the walls of the interalveolar septa

Front 19

lymphatic vessels

Back 19

found superficially around the lungs just beneath the visceral pleura

Front 20

sympathetic nervous system

Back 20

accelerates the heart rate, constricts blood vessels, relaxes the bronchial smooth muscles and raises blood pressure

Front 21

para sympathetic nervous system

Back 21

slows the heart rate, constricts the bronchial smooth muscles and increases intestinal peristalsis and gland activity
