Function Brings
oxygenated air in to the body for delivery to the blood cells.
Expels waste products that have been returned to the lungs by the blood
Upper and lower respiratory tract
The nose, mouth, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, and the trachea
The bronchial tree and lungs
Nasal septum A wall of cartilage that divides your nose
into sections .
Mucous membrane
Specialized form of epithelial tissue that lines the nose and respiratory system
Mucus
• Helps to moisten, warm, and filter the air that enters the nose.
Cilia The thin hairs located just inside the
nostrils filters incoming air.
Olfactory Receptors
•The receptors for the sense of smell.
Tonsils Form a proactive circle around the
entrance to the respiratory system. Type of lymphatic tissue that stops
invading organisms.
Sinus A air filled cavity within a bone that is
lined with mucous membrane Functions
1. To make the bones of the skull lighter 2. Help produce sound by giving resonance to the
voice3. To produce mucus that drains into the nasal cavity
Pharynx Commonly known as the throat. Three Divisions
1. Nasopharynx- posterior to the nasal cavity and continues downward to behind the mouth.
2. Oropharynx- the portion visible when looked in the mouth.
3. Larngopharynx- continues down to opening of the esophagus and trachea.
Epiglottis A lidlike structure located at the base of
the tongue. Swings down and closes off the
laryngopharynx so food doesn’t enter the trachea and the lungs.
Larynx The voice box A triangular chamber located between
the pharynx and the trachea. Contains the vocal cords
Thyroid cartilage The largest and prominent of the nine
cartilages protecting the larynx and is commonly known as the Adam’s apple.
Trachea Commonly known as the windpipe Extends from the neck into the chest. Directly in front of the esophagus and is
held open by a series of C-shaped cartilage rings.
The Bronchial Tree Divides into two branches called Bronchi Within the lung the bronchi divides and
subdivides into Bronchioles. Bronchioles
The smallest branches of the bronchi.
Alveoli Also know as air sacs Very small grapelike clusters found at the
end of each bronchiole. This is where the gas exchange occurs.
The Lungs Have divisions called lobes The right lung has Three lobes: superior,
middle, inferior. The left has Two lobes: superior, inferior.
Mediastinum Also known as the interpleural space. The space contains the thoracic vicera
including the heart, aorta, esophagus, trachea, bronchial tubes, and thymus gland.
Pleura A multilayered membrane that surrounds
each lung with its blood vessels and nerves.
Parietal pleura-the outer layer of the pleura.
Visceral pleura- in layer of the pleura. Pleural space [or pleural cavity]- the
airtight space between the folds of the pleural membranes.
Diaphragm The muscle that separates the thoracic
cavity from the abdomen. Phrenic nerve- the nerve that stimulates
the diaphragm and causes it to contract
Respiration
External Respiration Breathing- the act of bringing air into and
out of the lungs. Inhalation- the act of taking air into the
lungs. Exhalation- the act of breathing out.
Exchange of GasesAs air is taken into the alveoli it
immediately passes into the surrounding capillaries and is carried by the erythrocytes to all the body.
At the same time, the waste product carbon dioxide passes from the capillaries into the airspaces of the lungs to be exhaled.
