Anatomy and Cell Biology 2221 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Bronchiole, Optic Nerve, Nasal Cavity
Document Summary
Supply o2 to body & remove byproduct (co2) Structural: upper nose, pharynx, lower larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs. Functional: conducting zone nasal cavities (terminal bronchioles), filter, warm and moisten air, conduct air to respiratory zone, respiratory zone respiratory bronchioles (alveoli), gas exchange. Air enters through external nares (i. e. nostrils) Functions: warming and moistening, factory receptors (senses) Function: vocalization, open passage for air into lungs, prevents food from entering trachea. Structure: suspended from hyoid bone (thyrohyoid membrane, 9 cartilages (3 bilateral and 3 individual, continues inferiorly with trachea. Swallowing: larynx & pharynx pulled superior during swallowing, epiglottis folds down to close larynx, pharynx widens when pulled superior. Breathing: epiglottis is open (larynx is open, rima glottis is patent. Sit in abducted position while breathing adduct to talk. Made of smooth muscle, connective tissue, c- shaped cartilage. Divides @ carina right and left primary bronchi. Pneumothorax collapsed lung, air in pleural cavity. Conducting zone: trachea 1 bronchia 2 bronchi 3 bronchi bronchiole.
