How long is the Pharynx
12.5cm (5")
Three divisions of the Pharynx
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
Upper portion of Pharynx just behind the nasal cavities
Nasopharynx
Portion of the pharynx behind the mouth is called
Oropharynx
The lastor lowest segment of the pharynx
Laryngopharynx
where the right and left auditory, or eustachian tubes open into
Nasopharynx
Masses of lymphatic tissue embedded in the mucous membrane of the pharynx
tonsils
tonsils located in the oropharynx
palatine tonsils
tonsils located in the Nasopharynx
Pharyngeal tonsils
also called adenoids
The voice box
Larynx
Largest piece of catilage composing the Larynx
Thyroid cartilage or adams apple
The space between the vocal cords
Glottis
A piece of catilage that partially covers the opeining of the larynx
epiglottis
soar throat
Pharyngitis
A condition most often caused by absence or inpairment of the surfactant in the fluid that lines the alveoli
RDS Respiratory distress syndrome
reduces the surface tension of the fluid on the free surface of the alveolar walls and permits easy movement of air into and out of the lungs
Surfactant
inflammation of the parietal pleura, characterized by difficulty in breathing and tabbing pain
Pleurisy
Incomplete expansion or collapse of the lung for any reason
Actelectasis
Exchange of gases between a living organism and its environment
Respiration
Process that moves air into and out of the lungs
Pulmonary ventilation or breathing
Exchange of gases between air in the lungs and in the blood
External respiration
Exchange of gases occuring between the blood and the cells of the body
Internal respiration
Moves air into the lungs
Inspiration, or inhalation
Moves air out of the lungs
expiration
Inspiratory muscles
Diaphragm
external intercostals
Expiratory muscles
Internal intercostals
abdominal muscles
The exchange of gases that occur between blood in tissue capillaries and the body cells is called
Internal respiration.
normal amount of air inhaled and exhaled under normal conditions
Tidal volume. 500 Ml.
Air that remains in the respiratory tract after a forceful expiration is called
Residual volume 1200ml
The largest volume of air that can be moved in and out during ventilation is called
Vital capacity 4500-5000ml
This is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after expiring the tidal volume
Expiratory reserve volume
ERV
1000ml
The amount of air that can be forcibly inspired over and above a normal inspiration
Inspiratory reserve volume
IRV
3300ml
refers to a normal repiratory rate
Eupnea
rapid breathing
Hyperventilation
describes slow and shallow breathing
Hypoventilation
Refers to labored or difficult breathing and is often associated with hyupoventilation
Dyspnea
Dyspnea that is relieved by moving into an upright or sitting position
Orrhopnea
If breathing stops completely for a brief period regardless of cause, is is called
Apnea
Falure to resume breathing after a period of apnea
respiratory arrest
A series of cycles of alternating apnea and hyperventilation
Cheyne-Stokes respiration
CSR
Breathing patter that can occur in critical diseases such as CHF, brain injuries, or brain tumors
Cheyne-Stokes
common condition characterized by acute inflammation of the bronchi, most commonly caused by infection.
Bronchitis
Often starts with a nonproductive cough that progresses to a deep cough that produces sputum
Bronchitis
An acute inflammation of the lungs in which the alveoli and bronchi become plugged with thick fluid(exudate)
Pneumonia
characteristics of pneumonia
high fever
severe chills
headache
cough
chestpain
majority of pneumonia cases result from infection by
Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria
Type of pneumonia which typically affects an entire lobe of the lung
Lobar pneumonia
Type of pneumonia in which patches of infection are scatered along porions of the bronchial tree
bronchopneumonia
lung infections caused by inhalation of vomit or other infective material
aspiration pneumonia
Types of pulmonary disorder
Restrictive and Obstructive
Disorder that inhibit inspiration, reduce pulmonary volumes and capacities such as inspiratory reserve volume and vital capacity
Restrivtive pulmonary disorders
Broad term used to describe conditions of progressive irreversible obstruction of expiratory air flow
COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Pt's with this have chronic difficulties with breathing, mainly emptying their lungs, and have visibly hyperinflated chests
COPD
Pulmonary disorder that involve restriction (reduced stretch) of the alveoli
Restrictive Pulmonary disorder
percentage of CO2 traveling veinously as dissolved carbon dioxide
10%
percentage of CO2 traveling veinously as carbaminohemoglobin
20%
percentage of CO2 traveling veinously as Bicarbonate ions
70%
chronic inflammation of the bronchi and bronchioles characterized by edema and excessive mucus production, which block air passages
Chronic bronchitis

Obstructive
As air becomes trapped within alveoli and causes them to enlarge, their walls rupture and then fuse into large irregular spaces
Emphysema
Obstructive disorder characterized by recurring spasms of the smooth muscle in the walls of the bronchial air passages
Asthma
Characterized by muscle contractions that narrow the airways, making breathing difficult as well as inflammation (edema and excessive mucus production)
Asthma
