Respiratory System Part 1 Respiration Cardiopulmonary system Respiratory and conducting divisions Three processes 1. Breathing 2. Exchange of gases 3. Use of oxygen Respiration Pulmonary ventilation (breathing): movement of air into and out of the lungs Respiratory system External respiration: O2 and CO2 exchange between the lungs and the blood Transport: O2 and CO2 in the blood Circulatory system Internal respiration: O2 and CO2 exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues Functional Anatomy Structures Nose Pharynx Larynx Trachea Lungs Bronchial tree Pleurae Nasal cavity Oral cavity Nostril Pharynx Larynx Trachea Left main (primary) Carina of bronchus trachea Right main Left lung (primary) bronchus Right lung Diaphragm Figure 22.1 Nose Functions Provides an airway for respiration Moistens and warms entering air Filters and cleans inspired air Resonating chamber for speech Olfactory receptors Epicranius, frontal belly Root and bridge of nose Dorsum nasi Ala of nose Apex of nose Naris (nostril) Philtrum (a)Surface anatomy Pg 5 study guide Figure 22.2a Frontal bone Nasal bone Septal cartilage Maxillary bone (frontal process) Lateral process of septal cartilage Minor alar cartilages Dense fibrous connective tissue Major alar cartilages (b) External skeletal framework Figure 22.2b Cribriform plate of ethmoid bone Sphenoid sinus Frontal sinus Posterior nasal Nasal cavity aperture Nasal conchae Nasopharynx (superior, middle and inferior) Pharyngeal tonsil Nasal meatuses Opening of (superior, middle, pharyngotympanic and inferior) tube Nasal vestibule Uvula Nostril Oropharynx Hard palate Palatine tonsil Soft palate Isthmus of the fauces Tongue Lingual tonsil Laryngopharynx Hyoid bone Larynx Epiglottis Esophagus Vestibular fold Thyroid cartilage Vocal fold Trachea Cricoid cartilage Thyroid gland (c) Illustration Figure 22.3c Pharynx Nasopharynx Oropharynx Laryngopharynx (b) Regions of the pharynx Figure 22.3b Pharynx “Throat” Between internal nares and larynx Three regions Transports air 1. Nasopharynx Transports air, 2. Oropharynx liquids and solids 3.
